That's totally how I feel when stuff isn't on there. I've often wondered if the Spotify's of the world will move from a flat fee pricing structure to one based more on usage -- ie, where my wife would pay a lower fee for her account but I pay more because I listen more. That would still work out for me -- I mean, $120/yr. is chump change compared to what I used to pay for records.
Along the same lines, I wonder if higher demand artists will end up basically end up getting a higher royalty per listen than others as these models develop.
― Naive Teen Idol, Wednesday, 13 June 2012 19:11 (eleven years ago) link

I might be wrong but I think that's basically what's happening now. Or at least on a per-record-label basis. Not sure about per-artist.
― dmr, Wednesday, 13 June 2012 19:20 (eleven years ago) link
I think that's the case already, isn't it? That major labels are getting higher payouts? I suppose it's justified in theory by the fact that Spotify gets more plays per labor hour (just with uploading and whatever else they need to do) compared with smaller labels.

This situation changed a couple weeks ago, as that old Slash comp has been replaced by a new 21-track set with a slightly different tracklisting called Mandatory: The Best of... which is copyrighted to "Liberation Hall" and sounds so much better than that old set.
So maybe those albums will follow?

...and speaking of old bands that used to be on Slash, X has gotten rights to and re-uploaded the Live At The Whisky album from '88, pretty much completing their catalogue reclamation, bar Hey Zeus, and I don't think they themselves even care about that one. The second Knitters album also has been removed, but that one was on Bloodshot, so that one might be transitioning back to the band as that label crash unfolds.
The Germs are still MIA (geddit?) aside from the same old dodgy comps and the Rhino Handmade edition of Live At The Starwood (Darby's last show).

In a new post on his Neil Young Archives website, the legendary artist said the end of Spotify’s exclusive deal with Rogan led to his decision to restore his music to the service. “My decision comes as music services Apple and Amazon have started serving the same disinformation podcast features I had opposed at Spotify,” the post reads – a clear reference to the Joe Rogan Experience, though Young never mentions it by name.“I cannot just leave Apple and Amazon, like I did Spotify, because my music would have very little streaming outlet to music lovers at all, so I have returned to Spotify, in sincere hopes that Spotify sound quality will improve and people will be able to hear and feel all the music as we made it,” Young continued, before shouting out Qobuz and Tidal, where his catalog also lives, as “High res” streaming options.

Didn’t Spotify still pay Rogan a huge amount of money to keep producing disinformation? (The fact that it’s not exclusive is even worse, from a certain point of view!)Not to police Young’s decision-making, but the decision (and rationale) is… surprising, I guess, after the stand he took.
