Why are some of my collected songs unavailable or grayed out

Why did some of my songs recently start saying “only available for radio playback.”?

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.
Hope this helps explain.

I’ve found that quite a few songs I listen to have become labeled unavailable. Some have disappeared and I’m not certain but I’m quite sure that they shouldn’t be affected by licensing as I know they are original songs. Just thought I’d ask and see what’s up since I really miss some of the songs.

@Pandora Winds Of Time by Ricky Kej
The song became unavailable but I would like for it to come back if that is at all possible. I had it on my Reading Playlist...I have checked the artist page but that was the only version they had...Other similar artists have the same title but not performed the same as Ricky Kej's version...
Thank you @Pandora...Have a great 4th of July, take care and GOD bless...
Hi @MOHLovesAlaska !
To keep everything in order I moved your post to this thread: Songs are Unavailable / Radio Only.
Also I wanted to thank you for bringing our attention to this.

@MariaPandora thank you for your response to my post...Have a wonderful 4th and a blessed weekend...Take care and GOD bless...
I have tried for years to get a clear answer from Pandora as to why some songs/albums are “radio only” and not available for my playlists. All I get from them are vague answers. Can anyone out there explain to me how this license thing works, and who prevents songs from being used? Thank you.
