Why can't I play individual songs with premium but I can play playlists

So I can play music on playlists. I can't play music that I search up or any albums recommended to me. If I add music then I can play them on my PC. Also my PC's application doesn't connect to spotify on my phone. My web browser works perfectly fine.

Curious how Blend distributes songs between two users

When I've created a Blend with others, my proportion of songs are way less than their's (I've like 5-10 songs on the blend and they have like 20-30). Is there a particular reason why this happens?
