My Question or Issue

I can't play an album... 

Why is this? I have the album physically, can I upload it so I can hear it in Spotify? 

Thanks

Maybe spotify does not have the rights for that album for Mexico.

Ok, That's what I thought, I think I bought that album from apple a while ago... however I am not sure. If that's the case you know if I can import the contents to spotify? I prefer it as my music streaming platform

[ElSche]

I dont know what platform you are using but i think there is a way to import music files to spotify. I am searching for a proper tutorial and follow up soon

I found this. Its a simple to the point tutorial for mac and iphone.

Thank you again my friend... That's cool for me, although I still have a doubt... if you see the image uploaded... You can see all the songs are greyed (no playable) but one... that one I am able to play it but to me is kind of weird that you can't play the whole album...

Hey there @jorgevaldex,

Thanks for reaching out to the Community and welcome!

We'd love to have all the world’s music and podcasts available on Spotify - and hopefully one day we will! However, as @ElSche mentioned, availability can vary over time and between countries, depending on the permissions from rights holders.

These permissions can vary, that's why maybe only one or two songs from an album are available in your market but not the complete album.

We add new content to Spotify every day, so if you can’t find something you’re looking for right now, it may appear (or reappear) soon.

On another note, you can play music files stored on your device in Spotify via Local Files. You can find more info about it and how to do it in this support article.

We hope this helps. If you have any questions, give us a shout.

Cheers 🙂
