My Question or Issue

I was listening to my playlist and when the next song was starting, it skipped it, when i looked it gave me the message : "spotify can't play this right now. If you have the file on your device you can import it" on a spotify song. The song is "The Synth Wars" by Jack O'Reilly. I get the same message on both phone and on PC.

Hey @DuckyTheDuck,

Spotify would love to have every song available everywhere but sometimes that's not possible right away. Spotify adds thousands of tracks everyday, fingers crossed this track appears soon. You can find more information about this here: https://support.spotify.com/article/content-missing/

Let me know if there's anything else.

Take care! 🙂

The thing is, the song worked a few days ago, and now poof, it's not working anymore...

Hey @DuckyTheDuck, thanks for getting back to me!

It can happen that the availability of a track changes due to licensing. I recommend reaching out to the artist or their label for more information about this. Let me know if there's anything else you need help with!

Have a good one,

Hubo
