Song disappeared

[parispoam]

Does Spotify remove songs from playlists? I had a song on my playlist now it is gone. Also, I searched for it again on Spotify and it no longer appears. They they remove songs or artists from their site for some reason? A little frustrating.

What song are you searching for?

How great thou Art by CeCe Winans

They do take away songs but it should still be in your playlist but greyed out. Hope that they will add it again, should add a little notice if they delete one of the songs from your Playlist.

It was in my playlist, but its not there and not even greyed out. Where do I leave them a message. I just joined Spotify premium. Thanks for your help!

Hello!

The songs are not really removed from your playlist they are just hidden make sure this is not checked in preferences:

It should show up but be grayed out because Spotify no longer has the rights to play them, ultimately it is up to the rights holders to add it to Spotify, as explained here 🙂

[parispoam]

Tnx. Where do I find the preferences? I went into settings, but don't see that option.

[Josh]

What platform are you using? 

[parispoam]

Platform? I'm using my mobile phone

[Josh]

If your using iOS go into settings then playback,  i don't think the option is available on android yet 😕 

[parispoam]

Yes. Its and android. I suppose when I log onto a computer I will be able to. Tnx

[Josh]

Yeah 🙂 I just checked and yeah it looks like to was removed but it wasn't, it just hides it and there is no way to have it appear grayed out on Android yet. But, if you go on your computer you should see that it is still there just not playable 🙂

[parispoam]

Tnx. Maybe the artist was getting a lot of plays and chose to remove it so supporters will actually purchase it? Just a thought. Tnx again!

I had the same problem with Lake Street Drive songs Rich Girl, Faith and Want You Back, among others.  They just disappeared even from the mobile device playlist, and when I checked again by searching, the album no longer appeared at all in Spotify offerings.  Only one album by this artist appeared.  

I suspect that there was some contract dispute or cancellation with the artist- revenue is minimal- but it seems odd that Spotify offers one of their albums, but not the other two....
