But I've just paid good money for a Spotify subscription, on the assumption that Spotify is paying money in turn to DG to stream their music. And I didn't think I was paying Spotify for a sampling service that encourages me to buy, but rather for a listening service that in turn has bought the rights to redistribute the music.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7704247294961748919.post-66064582182043353052011-10-23T06:10:30.593+08:002011-10-23T06:10:30.593+08:00The missing tracks tend to be ones that are 7:00 o...The missing tracks tend to be ones that are 7:00 or longer, with only a few exceptions, especially on Decca, Archiv, and DG.

It's odd that the missing tracks are the same ones that Rhapsody streams but does not sell individually. Hopefully the fact that these do not stream on Spotify is a technical issue in getting up and running and not a more permanent condition. I'm not interested in paying a monthly fee to listen to a subset of movements of classical works!<br /><br />OTOH your site is a big advantage for Spotify over Rhapsody.

When I play an album or a playlist, it keeps on playing, but when I play a search result, it stops when each track ends. I don't know why is that. Spotify Europe used to be like that too, but they fixed it after many users complained about it. Maybe it's a technical glitch in the US version and should be fixed soon.<br /><br />Hi Linda,<br /><br />Yes I cannot stand the ads either, so I got Premium.

I...Thanks for the useful observations and links. I'll see what happens over the next month. One thing I have noticed is that album tracks that are unavailable on Spotify/US are usually tracks that can be streamed, but not purchased individually, on Rhapsody. I assume the logic of this is that customers have to buy the entire album if they want complete versions of any of the compositions on the album. Hopefully, Spotify will eventually have these tracks available for streaming as well. In the meantime it puts Spotify at a distinct disadvantage for classical listeners.David Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09369329401576390059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7704247294961748919.post-34939161655949963152011-07-16T22:55:57.545+08:002011-07-16T22:55:57.545+08:00Hi, I've been reading your blog, and I'm w...Hi, I've been reading your blog, and I'm wondering how you compile all the specific series in Spotify?

I'm quite concerned about the fact that I've found several classical albums for which all tracks are streamed on Rhapsody, but only some of the tracks are streamed on spotify. A good example is Keith Jarret's recording of the Shostakovich Preludes and Fugues. 7 of the 24 tracks are not streamed on Spotify. Those same tracks cannot be purchased individually on Rhapsody, but they can be streamed. I hope, as you suggest, it may be a matter of gearing up. What happens on the UK version for this album?
