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 just moving over to Deezer and thinking of doing a year’s subscription. But as I’m transferring my playlists I’m noticing several missing albums that are available on other steaming sites in the uk, so can I request these 3 all on the Universal record label- Adam Ant- Manners and Physique, Phil Ochs- Greatest Hits and James Horner- An American Tail. This is in the UK btw. Also you haven’t got the new Matt Goss album, just the singles 

Hey @lady_raven, we do our best to have the most exhaustive catalog possible!

Unfortunately, it does not depend only on us, labels, distributors, artists and other right’s holder are involved, as you can read on the article. 

If you buy the album and have the mp3 version on your laptop/mac you can add it to your library!

I’d like the album “Welcome Plastics” by the Japanese new wave band Plastics (sometimes The Plastics) please. It’s on some other streaming services, but the band is long gone, so can’t ask them.

Thanks for the request @BadBilly 

We’ll do our best, but maybe you can find their cd and import the mp3 in your library? 

Salut - I’m going through a Sound Factory phase at the moment - but I can’t find any Sound Factory tracks on Deezer. 
The sound from Sound Factory is specific to NYC, and to a time mid-90s to early 2000s. LPs like Twilo by Junior Vasquez would be good to have. 

Thanks

Christopher.

Hey @ChristopherD

Thanks for the suggestion, we’ll do our best on our side. 

But the best thing to do, also to support the artists, is to buy their music and then add the mp3 albums to your lists.

Hello @Jake.van.duren!

As you can see in the article above, this does not depend so much on us, it’s the artist/label that decides where to distribute!

Why is Caiiro's album 'Pyramids' not on Deezer yet? It was released on May 6

if you know to whom to write,please do write this message to Deezer people who add music,i’m young but can’t understand why Deezer has 90millions songs but there are no polka bands from USA especially Cleveland Slovenian style, it's pity/regrettable that Deezer doesn't add American Cleveland Slovenian style polkas waltzes groups/bands,many artists are out of stock many to buy but it’s expensive to buy additional CDs from USA to Lithuania,i can't find neither CDs to buy if i would have more money nor to listen for monthly 10 Euros payment,please tell me can you add as much Polka artists in Cleveland style as you can?i would also like to listen other artists from polkaconnection,as i see there are lots of music but i can't understand why you don't add many polka cleveland style artists.polka style Cleveland style is not music that you can't add for paying monthly?it's regretable
i haven't got much money to buy polka Cleveland style music CDs. i'm unemployed and half disabled but i could pay monthly if there would be all polka artists, i get little money,i'm young i live with parents and while i live i want to listen to Cleveland style polkas and waltzes
i could request many artists,but there are hundred bands and artists that play Cleveland style polkas,i just want to listen to polkas waltzes in Cleveland style,mostly sad waltzes,but any musician i type and enter by google search i can't find on Deezer,i find for example bluegrass artists but can't find to American Cleveland style polka artists.I mostly listen to solo piano and sad songs,i’m young,but sometimes i want to listen to waltzes or polkas
 

For some reason it’s missing from their discography here. 
 

Thanks!

Hey @Andrius1vienisas! Thanks for reaching out. 

You can find the answer to your question on the article above. 

Unfortunately, it does not only depend on us, the artist and their label decide where they want their music to be distributed.

If possible could you ask Nuclear Blast (original) or Metal Mind (Remaster) to upload the Gardenian albums Soulburner, Sindustries or Soulburner/Sindustries (Remastered)?

Thank you!

Hi there,

A band I play in (Arrester) has published an album (Method in the Madness) which is on Spotify, YouTube music and Apple music, but it's missing in Deezer. How to I resolve this?

Thanks!

I ccontacted the group and they told me Hey got your message thru Bandcamp. No idea why it isn’t on Deezer, the distribution service(distrokid) sent it to them a month before it came out. I’ll contact them and see if they can get it happening.

Hi Deezer, please add the new album from Midnight Grand Orchestra, Overture when you can if you can - Thank You  

Any chance of getting Shop Assistants 1986 debut and only album titled Shop Assistants on Chrysalis.. Thanks

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

A few months  ago X Ray Spex album “germ free adolescent’s” came off streaming but then was made available everywhere again apart from Deezer it seems. Can you add that if possible also Hole- “Nobody’s Daughter”, and Yardbirds albums “For Your Love” and “Having A Rave Up”, there re also several Howard Shore albums missing which are available everywhere else 

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

It’s up to the artists to decide where they distribute their music. 

As said on the article:

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?

 

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
