My Question or Issue

I am unable to play any songs unless they are already in my playlists or likes.  I have attached a video showing the problem.

EDIT: I do not have this problem on the web player or mobile app, it's just the desktop client.

I do not have this problem on the web player or mobile app.  It's only on the desktop client.

Hi there @jdsyke 

Thanks for reaching out. Could you please provide us the following:

• The exact Spotify Versions you use.
• When did this start happening? Did it work before? Did the issue begin after a specific update?
• Could you try using the desktop app on a different device and see if the same happens?

With this information, we’d be happy to investigate.

Keep us posted.

Hello, I also experienced the same issue that the songs won't play unless it's on liked song list or playlists

Spotify version : 1.207.1277.0

Device : PC (Windows 10)

The problem appeared since 2 latest update (I forgot the exact date of the updates). Before, Spotify works normally without any issues.
