Random songs are missing from my playlists as well. It seems quite a few are having this problem with no solution.  😕

The music in question might have been removed from Spotify due to requests from music labels.

The only thing Spotify does is upload music via the request of music labels.

Sometimes labels change their mind or the music rights change and as a result they send Spotify a request to remove certain songs or artists. Spotify has to take down music if labels request it.

You can find out why some songs/artists are no longer on Spotify over here.

Tracks aren't actually removed from playlists, they are hidden. To show unavailable tracks, check the option

Preferences > Playback > Hide unplayable tracks

Occasionally, the tracks have not been removed but replaced by the source label, with new metadata. Try searching with loose search terms to see if the tracks can be found again with slightly different title or artist.
