Hey @britneyLover56, thanks for reaching out to the Community.

 

If the tracks are greyed out, it means that they’re currently unavailable in your country. Availability of music can vary over time and between countries, depending on agreements between Spotify and rights holders, such as artists or record labels; therefore, content sometimes isn't available right away.

 

Spotify is constantly working to add new content to the platform so hopefully your favorite music will be (back) up soon.

 

In the meantime, you can import local files to your Spotify library if you have this music as files on your computer.

 

Let me know if you have any other questions 😊

Hey @britneyLover56, I see.

 

The availability of those compilations also depends on the agreements between Spotify and rights holders. Anyway, if all songs are available, you can select them and create playlists - with their names and artworks. I guess it's a workaround while those compilations don't become available...

My question wasn't that the compilations are greyed out or anything. The songs on those compilations are available to listen to. The thing is that those compilations don't seem to be in Spotify at all or streaming at all. I was asking on why some compilations are not available on Spotify.

Thanks!
