Unplayable music in suggestions

Unplayable music in suggestions

I live in the Netherlands and I like to listen to Enka music from Japan. Because of my listening experience I get suggestions for albums that are completely greyed out. Can Spotify please update their algorithm so I won't be dissappointed when I select an album only to find out it doesn't play.

All the recommendation code should always work like this, but depending on how it is generated and shown, it might lag a bit. The actual point in time the recommendation takes places are sometimes a few hours before they are shown to the user, like the generation of Discovery Weekly. During that time an album that was available might have been taken down.

 

In many other views in the client, we have the ability to directly filter out unavailable albums/tracks as you are viewing them.

 

Where did you see this recommendation?

 

On the discover page I get suggestions for music similar to what I have
been listening to.

p.e. Similar to Hiroshi Itsuki.
Spotify shows me 13 albums of which 9 are not playable because greyed
out.

If the suggestion is not playable in my geographic region it should not
be displayed in the 1st place. 

Show unavailable songs in play lists is set OFF.
