When sending an URI of an unavailable song to v1/me/player/play the return is the same as with an available song. #682

Issue found on February 19th 2015.

Endpoint(s):

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open the API Console
  2. https://developer.spotify.com/web-api/console/put-play/?body-json=%7B%22uris%22%3A%0D%0A%5B%22spotify%3Atrack%3A1SOINd6dkwmZHPA53oBAD1%22%5D%7D

Expected behaviour:

Find some information about the song not being available in the call's return

Actual behaviour:

This song has become unavailable. It was once available and I had it in one of my playlist. spotify:track:1SOINd6dkwmZHPA53oBAD1

When I send the URI of this song in a “PUT https://api.spotify.com/v1/me/player/play” call the Spotify client will show “This song is not available. If you have the file on your computer you can import it”.

Playback will not start. However the return to the call does not seem to have any information about the song being unavailable.

I found a work around to still show a message in my app when something like this happens but I can’t help but think information about this kind of play-issues should be send back so it can be picked up.

Hey @kwindo, thanks for the request. We totally agree that having an indication of track availability would improve the experience. We're looking into it. I'll be sure to update here with any developments.
