Spotify is excellent, I love it but more and more I get tracks in playlists that are 'not playable in your country' or 'the record label has chosen to make this track unavailable'

'not playable in your country'

Reminds me of youtube. I'm in europe and about half of the time I click on a youtube link I get this friendly message about the content being property of UMG|Sony|Warner|whoever and I'm not worthy to see it...

Or even/sometimes worse - tracks which you were able to play previously, which this week are now not available.

This week I played a track only to find it had actually changed since last time I played it. The original was retracted and instead I got an alternative version.

Nonetheless I'm happy with Spotify, although the number of unavailable records is increasing
