Hey folks,
Thanks of reaching out about this in the Community.
Sometimes content like songs or entire albums might become unavailable in certain countries due to licensing issues or requests by the rights holders. In which cases some songs will appear grayed out and unplayable.
We're always adding new music, so if you can't find something right now, it might reappear in the future.
Cheers!

All comedy tracks seem to be greyed out. At least on my devices. Verified by a friend in another country with the same determination. Only the tracks with music in it work fine. Is there a new policy regarding non music content?
Hey @Shepard82,
Thanks for the reply.
As we're not aware of any such new policies, it'd be best to contact the rights owner of the content directly to get a clear answer to why some of their content is not available on Spotify right now.
Hope this helps,
Cheers!
Hi @Dian,
Thanks for the reply. Unfortunatly it's no help. It would be impossible to reach out to all word artists in the world 😅.
The problem is exactly like @mobiguy described and many people around me start to notice this too. Maybe it's only a European thing but strangely I can't find anything online.
Last week everything was fine.
Operating from Belgium btw.
Very weird.

These are greyed out for me. Spotify account is registered in United States. Can you see if I can get them back?
Thank you!
"...might become unavailable in certain countries due to licensing issues or requests by the rights holders"...Not across the board. Spotify's reply is a lie. Bogus. Every song greyed out on Spotify (I assume because I no longer pay for "premium") is readily available on iTunes. Not that I in the least bit like either monopoly/control mechanism.
make it availble
Lets talk about how most music i like is block for some reason?? And other people phones on there app is not block at all?? Call it unfair....
make it available
I am a Spotify Premium acct in the US. Does anybody know why only a few songs from a playlist are greyed out?
Hello,
Two days ago, a friend notified me that the following EP is not available to be played. Can you help or provide answer why?

The issue with the Monkey Road EP is in United States.
Albums that I added from my own collection keep getting grayed out. Last time, I had to delete and restart the app and add the songs again and then they played fine. Now they're grayed again. And no, it has zero to do with rights issues that have suddenly bubbled up. Between this and the Chinese songs that play on my account at night when I'm asleep I've just about had it with Spotify.
This answer is not acceptable. I was able to play the song a few days ago and all of a sudden its not available to be played.
