Describe the bug
If you attempt to play a blocked song (it's grayed out in the official Spotify interfaces), it won't play. It won't update the interface, it will simply stop whatever you're playing currently. However, the progress bar may continue.

To Reproduce

Play a blocked song while another song is 'active' (playing or not).
Attempt to unpause and continue the current song.

Expected behavior
The current song should resume no matter what song was attempted prior. Better, the interface should update and shown that no song is currently playing.

Log and backtrace

Screenshots

I attempted to play 'Bookbag' but the interface remains unchanged. Also not shown in the screenshot is the progress bar progressing normally, despite nothing playing.

Environment

OS: Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS
Application version: 0.12.1

Ideally, unavailable/blocked/unplayable songs should be filtered out from the UI, so such confusion should not happen.
