Moved from Sweden to USA, content disappeared...?

Just moved to the US and all of a sudden a lot of music has disappeared, like most of Lars Winnerbäcks albums. Is this due to my move, or is it a temporary thing? What can I do here?

Hi there and welcome to the community,

That is very possible.

Some tracks are only available in a specific country while others are excluded in a specific country. The reason is unclear, but sometimes an artist or label doesn't want to release a track in a country, or will release it a few weeks/months later.

The availability of music on Spotify is up to the artist and their music label.

Spotify has no control over what content is available.

Sometimes it is only available in certain countries, while access is blocked to others.

Ok, so is there anywhere I can see exactly which albums are included in the US and Swedish Spotify? So that I can confirm that this is the reason these albums are gone? (to eliminate the chance of coincidence)
