I hate it especially when Bonus Tracks for limited editions of Albums disappear because the streaming services only list the regular releases.

- throwup238 2y agoI figured everyone used those to upsell the CDs/vinyls. I suspect TV show and movie commentary is almost exclusively left to DVDs and BluRays for that reason.
- omnibrain 2y agoYes, all this bonus content is sooner or later going to be lost in some sort of digital limbo.
- zoklet-enjoyer 2y agoI miss the DVD commentaries and don't understand why they aren't an optional audio track on streaming services. People liked those, right?
- whycome 2y agoSimilarly, I hate when the "secret song" from a CD is still a part of that track when on streaming -- which results in a song that is followed by minutes of silence before the 'hidden track' comes in. It makes it impossible to add it to playlists. (I'd assume this is an artist choice?)
- drekipus 2y agoThat's kind of why it's a secret song.
- qingcharles 2y agoWhen I do content ingestion for a major online music system, this shit would kill me. The hardest ones are the pre-gap ones that were before Track 1 on the CDs. Most of those are just going to be lost from legit services.
- lmm 2y agoIn theory I agree, in practice I've had far more annoyance from wanting to listen to an album on a streaming services and it's the "Deluxe Edition" which has a bunch of extra filler tracks I didn't want.
