Hi there,

 

Thanks for posting in the Spotify Community, and welcome!

 

If you have the desktop app and can access the albums containing these songs there, you can use this tool to check the availability on Spotify across different countries of the albums containing these songs. The album availability tool only works for albums, but will show you all the regions they're available in. Keep in mind that this tool is built by using the Spotify API; it’s not officially created by Spotify.

 

To use the album availability tool, you can drag the relevant album artwork from the desktop app to anywhere on the map that appears, or copy and paste the album URI into the tool’s search field. (To get the album URI, you can right click on the album artwork and select Share, then hold down the Ctrl button (option on a Mac) to change the sharing link to URI, and finally select Copy Spotify URI).

 

As you’ve mentioned, availability of music on Spotify can vary between countries, as well as over time, depending on permissions from rights holders such as artists and record labels.

 

Spotify adds new content every day, so if you can’t find something that you’re looking for right now, it may appear (or reappear) soon. In the meantime, you can import local files to your Spotify library if you have these songs as files on your device.

 

Let me know if you have any other questions, and have a good day!
