Disappearing Music

[GayBankerBex]

I tried to listen to a song in my Likes playlist, but when the ads finished, the song disappeared. I did it with two more songs from the same album and had the same issue. When I checked the album, it was now listed as only having one song in the entire album (it has 27). When I go onto the website, it greys out every song except for one. It didn't do this with any other of my songs, so I'm extremely confused. Please help!

Hey @GayBankerBex, welcome to the Spotify Community! 🎵

Is it only this album or is it happening frequently on any random song/album? You can also check with another account if the songs are playable there or grayed out.

This could be related to how content is distributed on platforms like Spotify. It depends on a few factors but mainly on the licensing deals. The copyright owner can decide to make the content unavailable in certain regions.

In such cases, there is not much Spotify can do. Once the licensing deals are back in place you should be able to find the content in-app as usual. 🙂

Just this album is affected. This is the only time it's happened to me. I don't think it would be a region issue, because I'm pretty sure the people who made the album are from the same country I am. Thanks for the help and advice!!

(Edit: I noticed what you said about the copyright, and I think that's the main issue.)
