Would be great if everyone would complete the list with their own findings. Fridolin I have gone through your list and there's quite a bit that is now available in lossless. The rest I will take with our label guys. A lot of these albums are on tiny labels that simply haven't managed to turn around according to our agreements. But lists like these are great guides for us to get in touch with labels. It is possible to request us to get hold of music or update music. We are a record shop more than some obscure app crew.

palbratelund Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 The Beatles. Their original albums are missing. I have to assume the record label is playing hardball here, but c'mon, man! Also: When can we expect to see new releases to appear on TIDAL? Is there a certain amount of time after the CD/LP has been delivered to stores? Is there a specific day of the week that we should look for? The Beatles are on no streaming services so far. That's their business decision to make, but of course we'd love to see them on TIDAL. My concern is that there's soon a whole generation that's not spent time with their catalogue. In Scandinavia, where 80% is now streaming, it's been a while since people heard Beatles. And right there you have the modern challenge of catalogue curation. If one treats one channel (CD, download, streaming) with a global mindset - you risk to lose out on whole customer groups. New releases come in constantly. Every day, all day. Link to comment
palbratelund Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 I've spent some time with Tidal and am generally impressed. However, many of the classical music selections from Universal Classics (Decca, Deutsche Grammophon) are missing tracks. This is very annoying when listening to classical music. I've noticed that this is particularly a a problem with the Decca and Deutsche Grammophon Original Series, but happens with many selections. What is especially annoying for a selection is that only one of the tracks is greyed out -- why would one be greyed out, but 15 are available? This is not pop music!! Can this be addressed. Also, I notice that you are missing selections from Harmonia Mundi. Will these be added? We are working to get all the Harmonia Mundi. Link to comment
burnspbesq Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Can it really be true that there is no Squeeze and only the first Crowded House album?

steveoat Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 We are working to get all the Harmonia Mundi. However, I'm not clear as to why so many Universal Classics (i.e., D.G, Decca. Philips) are missing tracks. There are numerous classical albums that have all of the tracks to a piece but one, which seems insane!! There are also a number of classical albums that have only one track, which really begs the question as to why you even list it!! Can something be done about this? By the way, you are missing much of the Mercury Living Presence titles from Universal Classics. And for those you do have, most are missing tracks. Link to comment
Fridolin Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 … which really begs the question as to why you even list it!! How else could 25 million tracks be listed? Many of them are only metadata! Link to comment

rickca Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 However, I'm not clear as to why so many Universal Classics (i.e., D.G, Decca. Philips) are missing tracks. There are numerous classical albums that have all of the tracks to a piece but one, which seems insane!! There are also a number of classical albums that have only one track, which really begs the question as to why you even list it!! Can something be done about this? By the way, you are missing much of the Mercury Living Presence titles from Universal Classics. And for those you do have, most are missing tracks. This is a huge issue for me. You go to listen to a sonata, and you find that only one of 3-4 movements are there. This is like listening to a pop song that stops halfway through the track. Look at albums from pianist Mitsuko Uchida to get some examples. I'm finding in particular that famous, highly-regarded performances of a particular concerto or symphony are the MOST likely to not be available. I've found this consistently, so I'm not buying the story that it's just an ingestion queue problem. For example, I wanted to hear Dvorak cello concerto in B Minor Opus 104 from ASIN B000001GQ8 (Deutsche Grammophon) performed by Rostropovich. Guess what? Everything on that album is available EXCEPT the concerto. This is just one example. There has been zero progress on this since launch and I won't continue to pay for the service much longer if I don't see some improvement.

bobbmd Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 after weeks of listening and comparing to Qobuz, Qobuz is hands down better in terms of selections of music different types of artists american and european and styles/genres-hopefully this will improve in time-i like both but Qobuz sq to me is even better in a lot of cases(amarra sQ to schiit gungnir) Link to comment
MikeJazz Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 +1 Not sure this is Tidal's fault. Manfred seems to be pretty weird when it comes to CD and better quality downloads and streaming. Is the ECM stuff available on Tidal in the UK? --David +1 for me. It's not available in Portugal. ECM has played a considerable role on my CD collection. Some of my favourite jazz comes from them (Jarrett, Metheny, Dave Holland, Jan Garbarek). None of this is available, which is a pity. ECM, being such a valuable collection, may be the deciding factor helping me keeping the subscription. http://www.computeraudiophile.com/members/mikejazz/ funded this campain: http://igg.me/at/geekpulseaudio/x/5216671 Link to comment
Miles Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 First off I love the Linn integration, although it would be nice to browse saved albums via Kazoo. But I suspect that's something for Linn to fix rather than you. I've only been using the service briefly but on artist which I found missing is 'Laith Al-Saadi', which I discovered via this site's Linn Exakt review. Link to comment
DanSmedra Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I'm a paying subscriber. I'm concerned that TIDAL may have launched their service without the necessary contracts in place with all the artists...which understandably will piss off more than a few musicians, agents, representatives, etc. One of our favorite artists (Omar Akram), who was available from the beginning, has just disappeared. Has anyone else experienced this?
