Chinese Songs and Music

[vandrew]

Hi,

I have a question. I live in Sweden and use Spotify here. But I am from Singapore and I also listen to Chinese songs and music. Many times I am unable to find Chinese songs in Spotify. Does region limits the number of songs I can search for?

Cos I tried Apple Music and the library there is huge and most of the time I can find songs both English and Chinese. Is Spotify like Netflix where in a certain country the library is much better than other countries?

If yes, I might give up using Spotify. Any advise from current users?

Hello. Chinese songs are available on Spotify but the problem is that titles, artists and albums are in Chinese even if the app language is English. (see attachment)

By the way, you may follow the profile of Spotify Taiwan and Hong Kong right here for more amazing Chinese tracks:

Thanks for the info! I tried both Chinese and Pingyin yet couldn't find the songs. I find the artist but their songs are missing.

I do think spotify is missing a large number of chinese songs, not as so for the new releases probably. But songs by Jackies Cheung for examples are very hard to find. I am not sure how the songs are brought on line on spotify but certainly it is not the stop for everything, at least in chinese language.

Hi,

may I ensuite how are the Chinese songs arranged? Ever since the update and the Chinese song is categorized by the character instead of pinyin, the user experience is very very unpleasant
