Song/Artist/Album isn't on Deezer - What happens if I can't find the music I want?

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:

Hi @Anneywf please check the info above regarding missing songs or artists and if any track is not available in our catalog you can always add it to your library as an Mp3 :relaxed:

There’s a few MAMAMOO EPs/Albums that are still missing. They’ve been requested before in this post (that’s how I found it). I’ll mention 3 EPs because I like songs from them but I’m sure there’s more than 3 actually missing:

MAMAMOO - Yellow Flower

MAMAMOO - White Wind

MAMAMOO - Red Moon

If anyone knows why these aren’t available please let  me know.

I have a song but, sadly:sob: it is for a game so… it shouldn't be (like it is) on any streaming service.

What’s the problem with Apcalyptica’s track Reign of Fear? It’s not available for a long time in Deezer

Deezer is a superb app for music listeners like me, but some of the other artists’ catalogue are missing, like GFRIEND and SUNMI. I’m a big fan of them and I want to listen to their whole discography using Deezer. Can you possibly add their discography to the app? Thanks.
