DEEZER CATALOGUE - something is missing :mag_right:

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 :calling:
  • 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 :nerd:

Four Minute Warning - Mark Owen - Deezer


Last time I was on Deezer on the Charles Mingus feed, there were a large selection of live albums. Today, there are two. I’ve noticed this with other artists as well. The reason I’ve been with Deezer for years is that you have always had a more complete collection than other streaming services. Lately, your choices have been shrinking. Why is this?


Hey @DBrooks apologies for the delay.
I can see 12 Live albums currently.
Could you please confirm that can see 12 as well?
Thanks :) 


There is so much of PS Classics’ catalogue missing from Deezer. Whenever I contact them about it, they advise that all music has been sent to all streaming services so they don’t know why it’s not showing on Deezer (they are ALL on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music and Amazon Music. 

 

Thank you. 

 

Nate


Again, seemingly everywhere but Deezer. 

 


Hi @Nate Rogers thanks for your message.

Although we already have an extensive music catalog, it might still happen that you can’t find a specific songs or albums.
Our music acquisition is negotiated between artists & right-holders. It’s nothing we have direct input in so I cannot guarantee that we will get them.
Don't forget that if you have an active subscription you can upload the song to your own mp3 section on Deezer and then you can add it to playlists.The step by step guide is here.


Kelsea Ballerini has 10 million + monthly listeners on Spotify and Deezer doesn’t even have her latest 3 albums?? Pls add her!!

Hi @oneyearsixmonths !

Here are Deezer Discography of Kelsea Ballerini

Hi @DBrooks !

On Deezer is now more then two live albums of the Charles Mingus

 


 

This album, Hesitation Marks - Nine Inch Nails, suddenly disappeared!

The rest of their discography is still there, including the Deezer playlist "100% Nine Inch Nails" in the screenshot above which references this album.

 

Please provide a valid answer. It can't be the record label or artist as this was an album that used to be on Deezer, it's not a new release, and clearly the rest of their content is on Deezer.

Deezer had a similar problem for over a year about the album Meliora by Ghost, despite having their whole discography and a 100% playlist and even Deezer exclusive content for that band. 

 

Looking forward to a quicker fix

Still no response after 10 days

Hi @neonlevinks !

I see two versions of album Nine Inch Nails - Hesitation Marks

 

 

If you can’t see them then is might be temporarily removed  or is unavailable in your country .


Here is one for you Ian Van Dahl, you have all his tracks apart from one (Reason). Any reason why one track is not on Deezer?

Hi @Feliips !

Here is Mark Owen - Four Minute Warning

 

If you can’t find it is because streaming rights are  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. 


https://www.deezer.com/ja/artist/14108221?deferredFl=1 I don't know just an empty profile

Hi @Awega !

If you scroll down there is album !

 


Hi

There something strange with the artist Jestofunk.
https://www.deezer.com/es/artist/2601

There’s no Discography. If we search album by album, we can find at least three of their albums.

Why doesn’t the discography section exist?

Thanks

@Valdemar Pereira de Matos  hi

why  some Disxography isn't on Deezer. ? Not all artists and rights' holders choose to add their music on Deezer . We always respect their wishes so some music isn't available or might be temporarily removed.

Hi @Nina Nebo 

Thanks for the reply.

The artist in question, Jestofunk, has several albums in Deezer (added below).
So I assume it’s not related to rights.
But these albums are not sorted as part of the artist discography.

In fact, this band has no Discography section.

I thought the Discography section was somehow generated automatically if an artist has albums in the platform.
 

 

 

 


I was digging deeper, and I see that the albums are not in a Discography section, as I expected.

But, in the Browser App, if I go below, after Similar artists > Appears in… > …​​​​​​
And then, after a good scrolling, there is a “More albums” section… And there they are…

I’m also using the iPad as well as the Android App, and this section of “More albums” is not in there…

is there a reason the albums appear as More albums, and not as Discography?
And these albums are almost impossible to reach in the Apps (unless you search for the specific title)…


Thanks
 


@Valdemar Pereira de Matos 

yes ,you’re right there is no albums in Discography sorted in artist section ALBUMS , but you can find them if you know title of album .

maybe @Jaime. Community Manager can help to organize that and sort Discography in Albums ,Singles etc. 
I don't have that possibility .


@Nina Nebo  @Jamie  This is probably not such big deal because most of the artists are not affected by this.
But maybe there’s an opportunity where the Deezer team could improve on these two issues; the way the Discography section is built, and the section “More albums” to be available in the Apps as well.

Thanks for your consideration.

@Nina Nebo @Jamie Oddly enough, something similar happens to the band Spiritualized https://www.deezer.com/en/artist/71879 
Some of their albums are missing from their Discography section.

This is misleading and wrong. 😕

From their 9 studio albums, only 4 are in the list:

Spiritualized complete discography in Deezer

The other 5 are in Deezer but can only be found by searching… 

 

 

 

 

 

Sorry to insist on this, but as a customer I believe it should be fixed, right?

Hi @Valdemar Pereira de Matos !

If you scroll down there is more albums of group Spiritualized from their Discography 


 


Hello @Valdemar Pereira de Matos thanks for bringing this up. Indeed the reason why you were not find the albums under discography was because they are not consider as official in our system. 

Now all is sorted for both artist:

Spiritualized https://www.deezer.com/en/artist/71879  

Jestofunk https://www.deezer.com/es/artist/2601

If you spot other artist with the same issue, please share it with us.


@Leonídia.Deezer Hi
That’s great, thank you very much!


Hi @Leonídia.Deezer 

Getting back to the topic with a new question. How do you manage artists with the same name?

 

Example: The band Earthling.
https://www.deezer.com/es/artist/77574332

The main profile includes the album Insomniacs' Ball. But is missing the album Radar.
The album Radar is assigned to the profile of another band with the same name.

So, both bands have mixed albums in this second profile.
Ironically enough, the top songs of the second Earthling band are almost all from the first Earthling band.

You can confirm the profile and discography of the first Earthling band here:
https://www.discogs.com/es/artist/32263-Earthling

And the second Earthling band here:
https://celliearthling.bandcamp.com/

 

Another example of mixed artists is Kalaf:
https://www.deezer.com/es/artist/470239

This is not a so well-known artist, so I understand that a confusion is more likely.

The artist profile of the artist includes appearances from this artist: https://www.discogs.com/es/artist/114784-Kalaf?superFilter=Appearances

Mixed with the EP Apstrakt from another artist: 

 

 

 


Sometimes when you have several bands with the same name this mix-ups might happen, and our music team is constantly working on this (please keep in mind that we have a 90+ million songs catalog).
Thanks for reporting any issues.
Regarding Kalaf’s nusic, if you could send the URL’s on Deezer which correspondo or not to the artist I’ll be able to make changes. 
I have updated Earhtling’s profile with the missing album now
 


Hi @Jaime. 
Thanks for the reply. I understand the situation, and this may be an infinite task 😅.
Meanwhile here are my suggestions for these specific cases.

Thak you for moving the album Radar to this Earthling profile: https://www.deezer.com/es/artist/77574332 

Please move also this one: 

__

As for Kalaf, the thing is going to me a bit more complex because he has few self-published albums, and mostly collaborations.
I found two profiles that match this specific artist (Kalaf Epalanga Ângelo):

  1. https://www.deezer.com/es/artist/4452243
  2. https://www.deezer.com/es/artist/11025550

These two profiles should probably be joined into a new one name “Kalaf”, hi artistic name as a musician.
Online References that refer to this same artist as Kalaf, Kalaf Ângelo and Kalaf Epalanga:
https://www.instagram.com/kalafepalanga/
https://www.bandsintown.com/es/a/1689595-kalaf-angelo
https://www.discogs.com/es/artist/114784-Kalaf

The albums/songs I found he participated:

    • “A fuga…” is the only self-titled album of him that I found.

 

PARTICIPATIONS:

😮💨


Hello lovely team,

   Good day. Ramon here a long time deezer user since 2012. Guys is there a possibility that you can add this album Dennis DeYoung Ultimate Collection? I would very much appreciate if you can add it. Cheers.

 

regards,

Ramon
