Heard about spotify mobile being free, decided to check it out. Can't play ANY songs.

Spotify mobile is free now?! I couldn't believe it! Finally, I could listen to my playlists on the go. Haha...yea, as if it was going to be that easy.

What I did:

1. Downloaded app from google playstore

2. Launched app

3. Logged in with my facebook account (the only way I log into spotify)

4. selected one of my playlists, hit download

5. Tried to play a song; got "this track is not available" error. Tried a different playlist, same result. Tried a random song via search, same thing. Clicked "what's new", surely I could play a song that was new and promoted? Nope, same error.

What gives? I'm trying to enjoy and use your service but you won't let me.

Edit: Forgot to add basic info:

Phone: Samsung Galaxy Attain (4G)

Carrier: MetroPCS

Android V: 2.3 Gingerbread

If you are a "Free" member, you can only listen to Spotify Radio. That's it. You can view your playlists, but can't listen to them.

That would explain it. Thanks for the quick reply!

Sure thing 🙂

So how do I listen to spotify radio on the android app? I can't find it for the life of me.

Wondering the same thing. Not seeing spotify radio?

Radio is only on iOS at the moment. Free radio is only in the US.

What is frustrating is I keep getting emails from Spotify about the great new free radio... That isn't available for Android.
