DEEZER CATALOGUE - something is missing

We're really sorry to know the tracks you love isn't on Deezer. Not all artists and rights' holders choose to add their music on our platform. We always respect their wishes so some music isn't available or might be temporarily removed.

Some of the reasons for this are:

RIGHTS' HOLDERS :microphone:

If an artist has a large discography with different rights' holders controlling different albums you can sometimes find gaps in the catalogue - if a certain rights' holder hasn't yet agreed to allow the music they control to be streamed online.

TERRITORY :globe_with_meridians:

Streaming rights are also defined by territory - country, region, location. The tracks that appear in the search box when you're looking for music are the songs that are available in all territories. In a small number of cases, a user in a different country may not have access to different tracks so an "unavailable in your country" message appears when they try to listen to it.

SO WHAT SHOULD I DO? :weary:

We're constantly updating and re-negotiating our agreements with rights' holders and thousands of tracks are added to our catalogue every single week.

You can try a couple of things:

Add your MP3 collection to Deezer
Contact the artist via their social media channels and request for the tracks/albums to be added to Deezer, we take care of the rest

Hi there @Dosadnomi

Thanks for reaching out.

I'm going to check that with our catalogue teams, but in the meantime, feel free to read the info from this topic - it could do with distributors' rules :thumbsup_tone2:

Do you also have the link for the album on Deezer? I couldn't find the title in the UK.

Hello,

I’m looking for Sting’s first album, The Dream of the Blue Turtles. It’s available on other services, just not Deezer.

Thanks for your help!

Thanks for asking @Bowmen that's almost a relic. I've queried that on your behalf with our catalogue teams :thumbsup_tone2:

To nie jest żaden oficjalny utwór live więc nie oczekuj że gdziekolwiek się pojawi, musisz zgrać sobie audio i dodać jako własne mp3 ;)

Hey @amoraluv

I've moved your comment here so that we can group catalogue requests. Could you please locate the artist profile on Deezer and post the link here? :relaxed:
