Why do there appear to be different licensing restrictions in the mobile app vs using desktop browser? For a direct example of what I mean, in a desktop browser, I can listen to Pink Floyd's The Turning Away an unlimited amount of times, on repeat if I want. However, I discovered last night that when trying to select the same song in the mobile app that it's labelled as a "station-only" song, and cannot be individually played. Why is this and how does it make sense?
Hey there, @ForcedToSignUp. 👋
Nice to see you around the community space.
Looks like there are two different versions of that song (and the album). I do see that the Radio-Only version you're referring to as well. It looks like one version is the original release and the other may be a re-release. In the meantime, I will report this over to our curation team to investigate.
Any song marked as "Radio-Only" will be labeled as such across all devices.

One version you're able to listen to on-demand can be found here.
The Radio-Only version can be found here:
I hope this helps clarify. If you think something else is happening, feel free to share a screenshot of what you're seeing on both devices. I'm happy to take a look for you. 🎧

Ok, that makes sense. I've run across several different songs that appear to have multiple versions, I just didn't notice this one in particular. Thanks for the help!
@ForcedToSignUp We're always happy to help.

Hi there, @shisuibejarano. 👋
Thanks so much for posting about this.
Although the majority of the songs in our collection will be eligible to be played without restrictions, you may encounter a portion of songs that are unavailable or labeled "Radio Only" due to our current licensing restrictions. In the meantime, you can create a station that will play similar songs and artists, based on an artist or a particular song.
We are continuously working on increasing the amount of songs which can be played on stations, on-demand, or offline. Our intention is to provide enough music you enjoy to avoid any inconvenience around this. 🎧
