Unable to access some music due to region difference

Hi Everyone,

I do realise at times, I’m unable to access some music at different region.

Any particular reason why Apple does not let us to access songs from different regions?

I have a question concerning the availability of songs based on region?. A while back I downloaded some nostalgic music and recently, even though I can still see the artist, album and songs, instead of playing through my speakers I receive a notification stating my music selection is not available in my region. Needless to say, it’s quite a disappointment to say nothing of my sorrow. Hyperboles aside, I’m really just curious what the reasonings behind that actually are.

Apple Music regions So I got Apple Music again after a month of not having it. And on my huge playlist that has all my songs on it every single one is saying it’s not available in my region. Is there anyway to fix this? I also realized that when I go on my actual profile I can see my playlist and it works but not when I go to my library.

That would be due to how the music industry is organized, with local distributors and local representation of artists and record labels. Content owners can choose in which countries and regions they want the content to be available.
