But mostly yes.
I subscribe to three lossless FLAC streaming services and yes, the stuff is probably there somewhere if you know how to use the search features of each respective service.
QOBUZ is by FAR the best as there is virtually NO limit to the number of 'albums' they return for a given search term. EX: 'Bach' returns 14,000+ albums to 'scroll' through!
TIDAL and DEEZER Elite sadly not. Limit of about 30 albums on both TIDAL and DEEZER Elite but at least DEEZER lets you search by label using 'LABEL:CHANDOS for example but still haven't figured out how to combine Chandos with Mahler, for example, in DEEZER.
Just type 'Chandos Mahler' into the QOBUZ text box and you get 20 Chandos CDs with Mahler pieces!
Sadly, QOBUZ lists some albums that actually don't play because they are not fully licensed. :-(
My technique is to go to AMAZON which is pretty good at returning just about everything ever published even if out of stock and then use meta data found on the Amazon page of the album in question and then use all of them in turn to try to get the streaming service to return something useful.
First they came for the dumb-asses
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a dumb-ass
