Spotify blocking MP3s I own from being played

This has now happened multiple times.

 

I add my own MP3s to Spotiofy, but it blocks them. It happened with Taylor Swift's album. Every few months all her songs will disappear from my playlists on desktop and mobile even though the links are to MP3s I own. I deal with this.

 

Recently, I backed a Kickstarter which meant I got an album early. I added it to Spotfy. Spotify refuses to play the MP3. Is this because the album isn't technically "released" on Spotfy? Ahem, Spotify, I didn't steal these. They're mine. No one asked you.

 

Then, today, I got the mp3s from the masters of an album I'm featured on. It doesn't come out until November. Again, I don't have the MP3s illegally. They're literally my creations and yet, Spotify is blocking them.

 

A) This sucks.

B) It's a shady overreach into assuming I don't have the rights to the files I'm trying to play.

C) It's obviously almost always wrong. At least in my case.

D) I'm paying for Spotify. Cut it out.
