Songs in Playlist

[Julian_V]

My Girlfriend made a playlist for me which is also public, I followed it and the first 26 Songs are Downloaded but on her phone there are over 120 songs wich are not even shown on my phone. Not in the app or in the browser version of spotify. I already reinstalled spotify but it still says there are only 26 songs.

Hey @Julian_V

Do you both have Spotify accounts based in the same country? Song availability can differ between countries due to agreements with the music labels.

Are the songs she added local files (MP3 files that only the owner can see)

Songs that are not available for you to play will be greyed out.

Can you go into the Spotify app settings on your phone and make sure "Hide unplayable songs" is turned off under playback? That way you will be able to see the greyed out songs even if they are unplayable and that should help you see why they are not showing up.

[Julian_V]

@MattSuda yes, I can see unplayable Songs and actually she is is using my account. So I am the owner and I pay the half for her account

Hey @Julian_V

I see this was marked as solved. Did you get this sorted out?

[Julian_V]

@MattSuda No I just can not work with this here. It is not solved but I tried to Tag you

[MattSuda]

I have marked this thread as unsolved.

So you can see the songs in the playlist on her phone, but not on your phone? Have you tried checking the internet connection on the phone? It could be that the changes to the playlist were never uploaded to the Spotify server.

[Julian_V · Accepted solution]

Thank you. So I can see all Songs on her Phone, right. We were in the same WiFi and nothing changed when switching to 4g

[MattSuda]

Can you log out of the account on the phone with all of the songs and then log back in with that same account. This should force it to connect to the Spotify server if it somehow got stuck. Then try to see if the songs show up on the other phone (exit app and relaunch it)

[Julian_V]

I logged in on my phone with her account and as I thought it still showed only 26 Songs...

@Julian_V

Are you still having trouble with this?

Does this problem happen with any other playlists? Or is it just this one playlist?

Can you login to the Spotify desktop app with this account and make a new playlist and then CTRL + A (to select all songs) from the current playlist and then add them to the new playlist. Does the new playlist show all of the songs on your phone?

[Julian_V]

Still not working, and it is only this playlist. I will try to copy all songs in a new playlist
