Unable to play Especially For You by the Smithereens on demand

[rapp7383]

Pandora Premium will not play the complete set of album songs on my laptop. Play buttons for individual songs are grayed out. Plays only one song on the album. Plays individual songs on the album perfectly fine on my car version of pandora premium. Running on laterst version of Google Chrome. Cleared browsing history. Wants me to setup a station with similar artists. No other options available. I do not want to play similar artists. No option available to just play the entite set of songs on the album. Why is this so hard. If I wanted my teeth pulled out, I'd go to a dentist or pull them out my self using needle nose plyers. Painful, I know, but easier then this. Calculus II was easier. Had to take calculus I twice and it was easier. Is there a tall building or a suspension bridge near by? Help me God. I'm loosing my mind. 🙂

@rapp7383 What is the name of the album you are unable to play on your computer?

Can you please send me a link to the album on Pandora to ensure I help look into the correct one?

Thanks for working with me on this.

Hi Adam, Thanks for getting back to me. The album is "Especially For You" by the Smithereens.

@rapp7383 Thank you for sending that over.

It looks like that album is labeled as "Radio Only."

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 makes sense. Let me know if you need any further assistance.

Hi Adam, Finally gettinfg back concerning the licensing restrictions placed on songs on the Especially For You album of the Smithereens. Just want to include the comment that the songs were playable just a week or two ago, which leads me to believe there's another issue at "play" here. (No pun intended). Could there be something else at fault from my prescription or something that updated on your end? I going to try an alternative radio competitor to verify that this album has licensing restrictions. If I have no problem playing these songs from that platform, I'll be back in touch. If not, thank you for your help and support. Peter

@rapp7383 Thanks for following up.

I've passed your feedback along to our curation team for further review.

Thanks for your patience in the meantime!
