I can't play songs that I was able to play before

I can't play songs that I was able to play before

I have an iPhone 5s and I have the recent iOS, I also have Spotify premium. I can't seem to play songs that I was able to play before. I tried playing impossible by Travis Scott. I was able to play it before but then I couldn't for about a week until I deleted the app and reinstalled the app which seemed to fix it, but now multiple songs won't play of different artist. All these songs I was able to play before but now I can't. I tried reinstalling it again as before but it didn't work. I tried it multiple times and I'm getting quite tired of it. I've seen that many people have had this problem, please fix it asap

Hello @Melissainthesky

 

Are the songs greyed out?

 

If so. the reason is that the artist or their music label has likely decided to remove it from Spotify.

The availability of music on Spotify is up to the artist and their music label.

Spotify wants all the world's music, and they're working hard on making this happen for you. However sometimes agreements can't be reached with the artist or label or a change may happen in music ownership. Sometimes the music is only available in certain countries, while access is blocked to others. Sometimes the album or song will be unavailable temporary, and come back again later.

The songs/albums will still be shown in your playlists so you can keep track of them. Make sure to go in settings and check for the setting that shows unavailable songs.

no the songs aren't greyed out. I've checked everything, I can't even play the songs I have downloaded. My friend is having the same issue and has Spotify premium.

Im having the same problem, the tracks are not grayed out. Im still able to play them on my computer but on my iphone 7 they just dont play.

 

If i click a song nothing will show up but, the song i was listening will stop playing.

 

i have tried reinstalling but it wont fix the problem.

 

Hopefully it will be fixed soon, I just wanne listen to kanye oke....

Hey @Melissainthesky @Jeroen8523

 

Sorry for the late reply. Are you still having this problem?

 

Can you post a link to some of the songs you are having problems with? Depending on which app you use the way you copy the link can be different. In the desktop app, right click --> copy link. In the mobile app go to the share option and press copy link
