Liz Akhavan - The Acoustic EP

Solved!

Liz Akhavan - The Acoustic EP

I came across Liz Akhavan a female artist who has an EP out called The Acoustic EP. Neither the artist or the EP can be found on Spotify but all her songs are on Myspace and Youtube. This is the first time I have not been able to find music from an artist on Spotify anyone knows what their music inclusion policy is?

Hey there @joemalaga-gb,

 

I've had a look for the artist and it seems it's not region specific, but that her music is not available on Spotify as a whole. While Spotify has a huge library, it can't add music against the artist or label's wishes.

 

Here's what you can do to get that added:

 

Hope that helps! ^_^

@joemalaga-gb hey, glad I could give you some insight! i hope you're enjoying the music ^_^ 

 

You can scrobble to last.fm using Spotify, so when you use last.fm its suggestions will be more accurate and you can see what you listened to. Spotify has a guide to figure it out here.

 

On Shazam, you can open your tracks directly in Spotify, or export your history to Spotify in the form of a playlist to save you time (called My Shazam Tracks). You can add a Shazam'ed track to a Spotify playlist of your choice, and even listen in the Shazam app itself. If you want to learn more about it, this link is helpful.

 

p.s. i DEFINITELY listen to Spotify more than watch TV

Hi, Thank you so much for your reply and your help, I now understand the
Spotify process a bit better. We are new to Spotify so we are still
learning the finer points of how to use it so any help is always well
received. We do have a premium account in my partners name and we are
enjoying the add free music greatly, in fact it would be true to say we now
listen to Spotify almost more that watch TV. Yesterday our signed up for
Last.fm (free) and Shazam but am not sure yet how they integrate with
Spotify, in fact in the case of Shazam I am struggling to understand what
you to do with it? All part of the learning curve I suppose!
