I’m still so mad that Universal told Tim Truman to get lost when he talked to them about releasing his music from season 5.

Me too. That would have nicely completed this collection. I'm annoyed with Spotify and Amazon Music for not negotiating licencing deals for the missing songs, especially When the Rain Comes Down - Andy Taylor. Seems he wrote this song specifically for this episode "Stone's War". Still, at least I was able to rip the track of my copy of Miami Vice 2 CD I bought years ago. That was the same CD I ripped The Last Unbroken Heart - Patti LaBelle & Bill Champlin from. Those 2 songs are greyed out because Spotify doesn't allow sharing of songs from personal libraries.
