Songs can't be played on Spotify

[kyliemiriam]

Hi,

I've been using Spotify for two years now and everything seems to work fine. However, in the last two days I've been unable to play Klingande's songs from both Desktop and IOS ( I use iPhone 4) and Klingande has only like two songs relased so far. (For those who don't know him, he's famous for Jubel last year).

So I wonder I can't play his songs because of copyright issues? Or the device's just gone a bit mad? I deleted spotify from my IOS and re-installed it but both songs are still missing. I have them in a playlist but when I go to the artist page, there is no song there.

There seems to be no problem with my subscription.

I am quite confused of what happened and I'd greatly appreciate if an answer can be given.

Regards

Brian

The reason is that the artist or their music label has likely decided to remove it from Spotify.

The availability of music on Spotify is up to the artist and their music label.
Spotify has no control over what content is available.

Sometimes it is only available in certain countries, while access is blocked to others.
Sometimes the album or song will be unavailable temporary, and come back again later.
