September 22, 2021 By Nick Anderson 1 Comment 9 minutes

Spotify is one of the most popular streaming services if not the most popular at the moment with over 150 million users. But not every user is fortunate enough to enjoy this exceptional streaming service due to the fact that it is not available in all countries. This means the user must first unblock Spotify in order to enjoy their favorite music.

So, if you want to enjoy all the latest music on Spotify or even download them, then this guide will help you get Spotify unblocked and thus allow you to enjoy music on any device you want to.

Spotify is available in 178  countries with different libraries for each region. You can check out the list of supported Spotify regions here.

Spotify USA vs. Spotify UK

Spotify USA is somewhat different from Spotify UK in terms of both content and features. There are a few features or options you can say, we found missing from both sections of Spotify. Let’s take a look at them.

Missing From Spotify US

• Download Service: In Spotify US, users can only stream music but not download or purchase it.
• Spotify Open: Spotify USA also misses out on the Spotify Open feature that allows you to sign up from the Spotify website.
• Spotify Radio: Spotify Radio is only available in Europe for free.

Missing From Spotify UK

Spotify users in the UK aren’t really missing out on much. Spotify US has fewer features but it is relatively cheaper to buy a premium Spotify account in the US than in the UK. That’s the only thing Spotify UK seems to come short on!

Is a Spotify Album Not Available in Your Region?

Many users may have come across this issue. To deal with it, you need to trace where the linked track is located and then swap it in your playlist with that track.

This can be done easily on a PC. Simply track down the desired music file, click the chain icon to go to the location where the track is being fetched from. Swap the file into your playlist and that’s it!
