Spotfiy won't play a song even though it's not grey.

Okay so it won't play some songs even though they aren't greyed out. It just skips over them. I'm using windows 10.

This problem happens repeatedly-- maybe three times a day in continuous play-- for a few days each month.  And then this bug goes away.

Over the past few months, I have copied any similar "problem" track to a "Won'tPlay...." playlist-- and then deleted these "problem" tracks when the bug goes away so that the tracks actually play!

I just checked to see if there were any "problem" tracks left in my current "Wont'Play..." playlist.  There were four tracks remaining-- but they all played this time that I checked-- So I deleted them all-- because now those tracks play normally.

I would guess that this problem has something to do with the musicians' agents not having updated the licensing fields in the Spotify database--

Often I have noticed that the resolution has been a "Replacement track", as indicated by the "chain link" symbol at the end of the Album field.

Or-- often the "problem" tracks are fixed by being greyed out in a way that the NextTrack plays automatically as expected.
