This Song is Not Currently Available in Your Country or Region

I went through the steps of going to settings, confirming my region, entering my CC info, etc., but there are still songs that give this message when I try to play them. The majority are songs I purchased via iTunes, but there are a few I imported from CD's I purchased a number of years ago. What should I try next? I really want to listen to my whole library.

I'm sorry to read about the issues you are facing with certain songs you wish to listen to, not being available in your country or region, I hate it when this happens so I will try my best to help you.


Songs can become available and blocked in a region at any time down to licensing, for example, a song I like, Chameleon by Michela Pace is available on Apple Music in Mainland Europe, but not in the United Kingdom where I live. This is ultimately up to the distributors of the song (record label etc) to make it available, and eventually, a song that was once available can become unavailable at a later date, and vice versa.
