Why is it that Spotify can't leave stuff alone??? YES, add music, but STOP taking down music!! ESPECIALLY after its on a playlist!
Stop letting artists and outhouse lawyers tell you what to do, grow a pair and LEAVE THE MUSIC *UP* ONCE IT'S UP!!
I am NOT going to pay for something if I cannot count on it being there from (literally) one day to the next!!
Solved! Go to Solution.
The whole album Danzig IV by Danzig is gone!
THIS is f***ing BS.... why do I pay for premium and you guys keep removing songs? Whats the darn point?
if you look at my playlist that I started in 2012/13, you will see all the grayed out songs.....Tyga, Alicia Keys, Jay Z, Taylor Swift....
This is not fair. Going to cancel my premium shortly and move to apple music.
Thank you for nothing.
FANTASTIC, now I can see all my songs that were removed from my playlist...thank you so much.
One of my favourite songs My love - Mia was on tracklist and was then removed that is not okey and I rather listen for free on Youtube then and being able to listen to the songs I added then listening on Spotify if songs are just removed like that.
Solution: be grateful. You're getting music for next-to-free, and this is a wonderful time for you. It's not Spotify's fault - the artists are taking it down. Without the artists' grace you'd have zero music, and they're getting paid in pennies. So enjoy 🙂
Much love ❤️

I put an artist in my favourites bar to make a note of the name and now its gone. cant recall artists name to even buy their records. is there no way to recover at least the names of removed artists from an account?
Hey, there is a setting in spotify that says *hide unplayable songs*. If you uncheck that, you will be able to see your old songs, but you wont be able to play them. Hope this helps!
But don`t you think it would be good idea to notice your subscribers somehow when a song is removed? Like for example, a "greyed out" version of the songs in the playlist for a limited time or even better, a email notification whenever a song is removed.
The way Spotify does it now, there is no way to know which song(s) are removed and it shouldn`t be like this.
I am really dissapointed in how you handle this.
Ok, so i just found out that there is a setting to show songs no longer avaliable but it appears that this setting is set to off as default. But when i switched it on, i can now see those the songs that has been removed from my playlists.
Would still prefer some sort of notification though when songs are removed.
The time it took me to develop new playlists, etc. (which is what I had to do when the old Grooveshark took a dive), only to discover that all my hard work and time was for naught!
Why dangle the candy until you are sure you won't be scared to take it off because of some BS attorney chiming about the "rights" blah, blah, blah...
That said, you don't want to violate any "rights", but I assure you, you are violating my "right" as a paying customer, to give me what I pay for, only to have it taken away from me.
Could it be time to seek out another service?

Exactly... Why are certain songs from an album missing if the rest of the album is there?
For instance a few songs from the band RED's album "Innocence & Instinct" are missing. Namely: "Intro (Canto III)," "Out From Under," "Overtake You," and "Nothing and Everything" all stick out to me as omissions from Spotify's catalog
Old post I know, but those tracks are from the deluxe edition of the CD. That's the record label not Spotify
Ugh, I just discovered that this happened to me. A whole bunch of the music I use for listening to when writing just isn't there. And I can't possibly remember it all or go looking up an entire group and poke through every single album trying to find it so I can look it up on Youtube. I can't possibly remember everything that was in my playlist and the name of the song and the artist. That's ridiculous.
If you MUST remove music for copyright reasons, can you at least leave the song (unplayable) in the playlist? Something that says 'this song isn't available right now'????
That way at least people can look up the song on other media or purchase it instead of just guessing what was in their playlist.
I personally find it hard to believe that most of The Young Tradition's songs and all of Hanging Johnny's suddenly developed copyright issues.
