Radio Stations

[user-removed]

I checked to play one of my radio stations and found out it was deleted. So, I figured that there must be a limit to the amount of radio stations you can have. I then proceeded to go back and find the song that i originally created the radio station from and found out that it was no longer available in the U.S. The whole album Black Label Society, Alcohol Fueled Brewtality, and the song "No More Tears" was there 2 months ago. Why do songs get deleted from Spotify?

Hey! Welcome to the community 🙂

Any content that has disappeared or been removed (the tracks will still be in your playlist, just hidden because they unplayable) is normally down to the record label or rights holder. Sometimes content is removed due to licensing changes, transfer of ownership or due to a request from the content owner.

Content normally reappears so keep an eye out!

 Okay, so I checked the Album "Alcohol Fueled Brewtality" in Spotify and it only has 3 songs from the 2 CD set. I clicked on the grayed out "No More Tears" track just to see what it would say and it said i could add it to my local files. Knowing that Spotify does not play wma files, i converted the song to an mp3. While I was online a script banner at the bottom asked if i wanted to add a link in my toolbar. I said no not knowing what that was. Here's my question, i've noticed that not all of my albums from Windows Media Player are in the local files. Do I have to convert all the songs to MP3 for them to be added to the local files? I have pushed the storage up 100GB? And no one can answer the question how do i add songs to my local files that are mp3? Thank You!                                          

Update:Okay, I finally got the song in question to show up in my local files. So, the only way to get your whole library of songs from Windows media Player is go to each file location and convert each song from wma to mp3?

Yes, unfortunately Spotify is not able to open wma files since they are not in a supported format. Supported local file formats for Spotify are outlined in this help page.

I started having issues with costum made radio station yesterday 17th July. I have had 1 radio station based on 1 song for ages. I started to advance it by clicking likes or dislikes. The radio station got really really good at this point. And now....all the songs i have thunbed down before keep coming up. When i thumb them down again i get some sort of error, that this radio station is not available anymore. darn months of sorting and now this....whats going on? That seems to happen even when i make new radio station..at some point it gives me error and closing the station.
