Different search results based on country

Different search results based on country

Hi,

 

I have a Spanish premium account and an Italian, before premium and now free, account. I have noticed that the search results are different. For example: if I search Italian band called "Ministri" using Spanish account, the search engine doesn't show all band albums and singles. This is only one example, but there are more.

I approve that charts are country-based (if I am in Spain I want a focus of Spanish artists and news) but I believed that the catalogue is unique, regardless the country.

 

Is there a specific setting to set?

 

Thanks.

 

Best regards.

Hey @il_fabiog

 

The music catalog varies between the country set on the account due to licensing agreements with the record labels.

 

When an artist and their record label release music, sometimes they restrict it from certain countries. That could be the case here.

...so it's impossible listen, in this case, Italian band with Spanish account?

If I go in Spain I must switch account?

 

Thanks.
