My Question or Issue

There is an ablum listed on the website that I really like, however 20 of the 21 tracks are unavailable to listen to. Here is the link:

https://open.spotify.com/album/2T73Nsi4gQKV5Z8jx8Z1wJ

Is there a reason why almost all of the tracks cannot be listened to?

Thanks,

[Nico]

Hey @ajax2! Welcome to the Spotify Community. ^^

I can listen to all of them properly.

They might be not available in your country because of licensing changes. That means that the label decided to block them for your country. -.-

Peace

Thanks for the reply Nico. That's a bummer. How often does this happen? And what is the likelihood of this changing? Does spotify try to work through this or monitor it regularly? Just curious.

Thanks,

There is no exact number for this. It happens just if a label or license holder wants to remove the songs or make them unavailable for certain countries only.

I guess there is a reason why these songs are not available in your country. The artist/label might have some issues with some uncleared samples or something like this that forced them to make them unavailable. ^^

Peace
