Album no Longer Available

[Scott Reynolds]

Well, it's happened. I went to play an album that I had added to My Music back in the initial surge of excitement after signing up for the Apple Music free trial (Halvorsen: Orchestral Works, Vol. 4, on Chandos), and I got a popup saying "Looks like that's no longer available" (or words to that effect).

 

It's not a huge deal, and I can always go over to the iTunes store and purchase it, if I want to. But this sort of defeats the purpose of the "all you can eat buffet for $10 per month" model.

 

I'll be keeping an eye out to see if this happens with other albums or tracks. I know that Hyperion is one classical label that is not participating in Apple Music's streaming service. Maybe Chandos is thinking of joining them, little by little.

 

Oh, well.

Where are you seeing that it's no longer available? Do you mean available to stream? I didn't think that Chandos was streaming at all; I know they've pulled their music from some labels. But it's possible that they had some albums that the allowed for streaming, and changed their mind and pulled them.

Yes, it's no longer available to stream. It's still available in the iTunes store for purchase.

 

I have found a fair number of Chandos albums that are available for streaming, but many aren't. And as in this case there seem to be come that were initially available and have been withdrawn.
