I've used Spotify for a while, but just upgraded to a subscription 3-4 months ago. Overall cool, but occasionally frustrating. They have lots and lots (and lots) of music, intersoersed with some head scratching omissions. I figure to start a series vent my frustrations.
First up: J.J. Cale's album #8.
This is one of my favorite J.J. Cale albums, and J.J. Cale is one of my favorite artists. I have almost all of his "original" releases... including all of his 70's and 80's releases. Spotify has 14 of his 15 studio releases, 20 albums when you include compilations and live releases. But not #8. Why?
It's not a record label thing, they have other albums of his released on Mercury. It can't be popularity, they have other albums from him that didn't chart as well. So why? They do have some of the songs available through compilations, but only 1/2. Missing songs like Reality and Living Here Too.
At least I still have it on Vinyl, and on CD, and ripped to my iPod. But if I'm going to transition to streaming, they need to be more complete.
