My Question or Issue

I’ve been scouring the app for some other songs from my favorite artist(s), and when I went through some of their songs, I see that most of them are greyed out and unplayable. I was about to listen to Spotify today and I play my main playlist and the first song played for a second and then skipped. Can you provide me some reason on how songs are removed/unplayable?

Hey @kevin09,

Thanks for posting in the Community.

Some content on our platform may become unavailable due to licensing reasons beyond our control. This is why the songs appear greyed out.

If you share the URIs of the songs, we can have a look at them and rule out possible technical issues on your end.

Keep us posted.

Cheers!
