Similarly, 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?)
That's kind of why it's a secret song.
When 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.
I 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.
Yes, all this bonus content is sooner or later going to be lost in some sort of digital limbo.
I miss the DVD commentaries and don't understand why they aren't an optional audio track on streaming services. People liked those, right?
In 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.
Or a b-side that has all live performances of the same album songs
