No Beatles on Spotify ??

Does anyone know why there is no Beatles music on Spotify ?
Sure, there are tribute acts and Karaoke stuff, but no actual Beatles.

Re: No Beatles on Spotify ??

Because they haven't been able to do the deal, I would think.
I think they managed to get 4 out of the top 5 labels, so there will be other stuff missing (Pink floydd springs to mind iirc) but whatever, it's still pretty good

Re: No Beatles on Spotify ??

There are quite a few bands missing.

Tool & King Crimson were originally on there but have now been removed.
When I emailed Spotify to ask where they had gone they replied "We hope they come back soon"
Basically I believe artists were initially included accidentally before they had given their consent, so Spotify then had to remove them

Led, Zeppelin, Pink Floyd & The Beatles are the 3 which people seem to mostly notice as missing and have never been on there

Re: No Beatles on Spotify ??

This is the big problem with their model at the moment. Too much missing. It's even more of a problem for smaller acts. I would happily pay £10 a month if I could be sure 95% of my MP3 collection was covered, but at the moment they are struggling to reach 50%.

They are not on iTunes either.

It's probably down to the record label or even the band?
