My spotify won't work on the web player but when I change my account, it starts to work.

For some reason, I am not able to play any songs on my account, even if I try it out on another device. But when I switch to my old account, it works perfectly.

unable to play The Young Victoria Soundtrack

The album cover icon is visible as is the complete list of tracks but I can't play any of them. Interestingly, I can play the Sinead O'Connor track if I search for it separately and it's still linked to the soundtrack. Can any one shed light?

Is there any way to favorite a song or songs in an album you've saved?

The closest thing i've found is you can delete the song you didn't like in an album which isn't as convenient as favoriting the ones you did like.
