You may occasionally encounter tracks and albums in Rdio’s catalog that are labeled ‘preview-only’ or Not Available. This is for a variety of reasons:
- Unreleased: if an album hasn’t been released yet, its tracks will become playable when its release date arrives
- Download-Only: the music’s Label and/or Rightsholder has licensed the track for purchase and download, but not streaming
- Regional Restrictions: the track isn’t available for streaming in your location, per licensing restrictions from its Label and/or Rightsholder
- Takedown: music licensing rights occasionally change from one party to another (Labels, Distributors, etc.), so a former rightsholder may issue a takedown request that causes a track to become unavailable in Rdio’s catalog. Usually it only takes a little while before the track re-appears from its new Label/Distributor. If you encounter a track that was streamable one day and not the next, let us know.
