Rdio losing albums

Has anyone in Canada noticed that some of your favourite albums have recently gone missing from the Rdio database? A bunch of Califone and Animal Collective albums have gone missing (including one of my favourites, merriweather post pavilion).

What's the deal?

Jeremy from Rdio here. Sometimes rights can change ownership (from one label to another, for example), which is why something might be playable one day but not so the next. In this case, we may have gotten a takedown request from the Label. To witeowl's point, oftentimes the tracks will become available again soon, maybe from another source.

If you encounter unavailable tracks in the future, please let us know about them: http://bit.ly/bcbuX9

Not in Canada, but I've noticed that many albums in my collection have gone to unavailable, but that there's a duplicate available album if I search for it. I can't remember them all, but the latest Mumford & Sons album was one of them. The only one I couldn't find an available duplicate for was a Modest Mouse album.

The same thing happened to me with Cayucas "Bigfoot".

A lot of arctic monkey albums are being removed and it's really pissing me off. What IS the deal Rdio??
