Why doesn't iTunes have all of Prince's albums? From what I can tell iTunes only has Prince albums that are under license to Warner Brothers. So basically missing everything between Come and Art Official Age. Anyone know why? Tidal has most, if not all of this stuff. I understand why streaming services like Spotify and Apple Music have next to nothing but why iTunes? Just all licensing nonsense? Paisley Park is in your heart

I wonder the same thing. In the UK iTunes, the only album in between Come and AOA is The Vault: Old Friends For Sale. Which I find odd since it was a WB release. But Chaos & Disorder isn't on there. Hmmmmm The Sampler Set is great! | |

Simply, some of his albums people weren't buying, so they stopped selling them. Dollars and Cents. ..Hello, who is it?
Yes, this is a prettyman, Princey! | |

That's not true - it's a licesning issue, not a matter of sales. | |

Maybe contact iTunes and ask them Ohh purple joy oh purple bliss oh purple rapture! REAL MUSIC by REAL MUSICIANS - Prince "I kind of wish there was a reason for Prince to make the site crash more" ~~ Ben |

Because Prince didn't cut a deal with iTunes or anyone else to have them there. Most of those records have never been available digitally. It was only when P cut his exclusive deal with TIDAL that they became available. |

They have some albums on there between those times.

Yes this too. However, I will say that they had Planet Earth, 3121 and Musicology on there before. I brought songs from those albums from iTunes.

I wish they were there too! It's weird because I just bought HitNRun Phase One and Two on ITunes. Wish they had 20Ten and LotusFlow. I need those digitally. . | |

Stand corrected. I had such a hard time finding some of his music except maybe on vinyl or cassette, then I read somewhere that a lot of it was unavailable..my bad! ..Hello, who is it?

You can choose between MP3 or FLAC. And you can convert FLAC to mp3 or Apple Lossless. | |

If you type "FLAC on iTunes" in Google you'll get this little tutorial box. | |
