With the advent of the Internet era, we can use some music playing software, such as iTunes, Spotify and so on to listen to beautiful songs anytime and anywhere. As a music enthusiast, I spend most of my time listening to music in my life. Of course, I really enjoy listening to music using all kinds of music playing software. But there's one question that's been bothering me for a long time: I can't play some songs on Spotify. In order to solve this problem, I learned about the causes of this problem and the corresponding solutions through the Internet. Here, I'll go over the reasons why I can't play some songs on Spotify and the solutions and I hope will help you with the same problem.

Why can't I Play Some Songs on Spotify?

When I searched the Internet for reasons why I can’t play some songs on Spotify, I found that many users had similar problems. So, the reasons why I can’t play some songs on Spotify have all been collected, as follows:

1. File format problem. This is the biggest reason why users can't play some songs on Spotify. For example, songs downloaded from iTunes are in M4P format and are DRM-protected. Other music-playing apps, except iTunes, can't play these songs. As a result, the Spotify platform can't recognize these songs and play them. Another reason is that music downloaded from Spotify is DRM-protected, and Spotify does not allow users to enjoy the music offline. As a result, users must be connected to the Internet to play these songs on Spotify.

2. Network issue. Users may use VPN access to Spotify platform, but may be unable to play songs due to the network signal is bad and other reasons.

3. Spotify has problems of its own. Spotify may crash during operation, causing it to be unable to play music.

4. National and regional issues. Spotify can't play certain songs for users because of regional or national rules.

5. Membership authority. Spotify charges users a fee for some of its songs, and to listen to them they need to become a member of the platform or else be unable to listen to them.

6. Copyright and legal issues. Spotify may not have bought the rights of songs by certain artists, so it doesn't have the right to play them for users.
