I have noticed this on Qobuz but I would be interested if it applies to other services, I suspect it does.
I use Roon and shuffle and , if I am watching the PC screen, quite often notice a "content not available on Qobuz" notice pop up briefly as it skips over some content in the shuffle. If I see it, I can skip back and usually see what track/ artist it was .
When I then go onto Qobuz and look in my favourites, either that album/ track might still be showing, but clicking through brings up an error, or the album / track isnt showing at all. In most cases I can usually find a newer/ different version of the same and add that instead. The latest example, by the way, Was Big Star "The Complete Third".
So obviously, streaming services continually update their libraries. This one would expect. There will always be dud versions, change in licensing deals etc etc .
My question is, has anyone found a service that has handled this well from a consumer perspective? I have never seen any form of warning/ notice from any service I have used that an album has been replaced or deleted and yet, as custodian of "my" library, I would rather they tried to implement such a system. A monthly email saying what has been altered wouldnt go amiss!
