Strange Behaviour Country Setting

Strange Behaviour Country Setting

Hello,

 

so i went through my Playlist and noticed some of my music is not playbale anymore and greyed out. So i asked a friend of mine if he can play the songs and he can. We live in the same country and both of us are premium user.

 

So i just looked up my Account Settings and saw my country changed to France. I live in Germany by the way. 

So i changed it back to Germany via 'Change payment details'.

 

So now im curious about two things:

1. Why my Country changed?

 

2. Why has it changed right in the middle of a Premium Month, i read it changed on a new Premium Month?

 

Maybe somebody have some clues?

 

Regards

Hey there,

 

There are various way why this can happen. The most common reason is that your IP may have been changed to a french one. 

Do you live near the french border, or far away from there.
