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:

The single “About Her” of Malcom McLaren (soundtrack of “Kill Bill”) has disappeared from Deezer, can you check with the team if there was a problem on the backend and/or if its fixable?

Hi ​@Marks.Gian it might be a case of music rights. I’ve checked on other streaming platforms and it isn’t available either.
In the meantime you can always add it to your music library as Mp3.
Thanks

Thanks for checking in, I will add it as mp3. Theres another case tho: the album “Metal Forth” from the japanese band “BABYMETAL” became unavailable this week on Deezer too, I cannot access the songs on my playlists, but when I go to the artists page I can kinda still listen to the album item in this page, even if it shows a warning that the content is not available. In this case, its not music rights probably, since this album is there on Spotify and other streaming services normally, and it should here too.

I have been a subscriber to Deezer for two years plus now. Always been happy with the content, primarliy electronic.

Can I point out that since July you have not listed any of the latest releases from the following labels, depsite there being several releases. These are all all listed on rival platforms, Tidal & Spotify.

Its not as though you have dropped thse labels as there back catalogues are all availabel to stream.

Newrhythmic

Mord

Warm Up

Hayes

Clergy

Hi, Im on Samsung A15, in the latest beta version of Deezer (8.0.47.1), and this album METAL FORTH by BABYMETAL has not been fixed for me still. Its true that the album has reappeared on the artists page since the last time I commented on here and the songs can be listened in the album page, but when I added the song Sunset Kiss (feat. Polyphia) in my big playlist it is greyed out and cant be listened.

 

I reinstalled the app, cleared the cache, tried again, and its 100% still with this problem for playlist listening experience on mobile. I see that on the desktop version is not greyed out and can be listened normally, but I use the app mainly on mobile, and its still an issue. Can you pass this feedback to the devs?

Hi​ @Jaime.Deezer,

I was diving into the band 'Dreadlock Pussy', a Dutch metal band. Out of the 4 albums they have released, only one can be found on Deezer. 

I'd like to be able to listen to these albums, your competitors appear to have the albums so it seems unlikely to me that its a label problem. 

I am aware that its a small band, is it possible for the devs to add those? 

Have a nice day, 

Jochem
