Not Broken by CortexUS is no longer available

Downloaded Not Broken from Cortexus listened to it for 2 days then suddenly became unavailable. Odd thing is it will still play when in shuffle or in autoplay

Would just like Pandora to answer why this was suddenly marked as unavailable after the fact, ni one can answer this question

Also happened to Bad Girl by Velvet Desires

Pandora what's up??

@Raines-1 You're not alone in this, believe me. Just last week, I went through my playlists that I have made, and I lost nearly 30 songs due to the change in licensing agreements. But you need to know this is normal for an online streaming music service. This is what most likely happened to the song you are asking about.

1. Radio-style rights (non‑interactive)

This covers:

Shuffle
Autoplay
Artist stations
Genre stations

These rights come from the SoundExchange statutory license, which is broad and automatic.

2. On‑demand rights (interactive)

This covers:

Playing a specific track on demand
Adding it to a playlist
Replaying it manually

These rights require direct deals with labels, distributors, or artists — and they can be revoked, expire, or change overnight.

Take care, and GOD bless.
