Hello everyone!!
Well I just recently discovered Spotify and would like to know if any of you can point me in the right direction here. I need to know who do I bug to get them to add Tool to the artist list. No songs of Tool nor any of their albums are available!!! Probably one of the best HM bands out there and nothing on them.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Not going to happen. Tool are anti music streaming services so you won't find them on Spotify, Apple Music or Tidal and probably never will. The best you can do is add any albums you own as local files into Spotify and sync them offline to your mobile devices.

As Rolling Stone point out, yes, Tool is among the "10 Biggest Artists That Refuse to Stream their Music".

They hate music streaming services. Buy their CD's or vinyl.
So then why are they on Pandora?
Thing is, they're not on Spotify but A Perfect Circle and Puscifer are so...**bleep**?
Pandora is radio and is governed by different laws than on demand streaming services like Spotify. It's those laws that let Pandora play pretty much whatever it wants just like traditional radio stations can.
Things might be changing - fingers crossed
this has bothered me for the longest time and i totally respect why they are doing it , but at the same time , i would love to add their entire catelogue to my playlists with ease..
@masterbleepboop you still can if you have the tool albums. link spotify to local music on your computer and add the tool albums. Works in offline mode too
But you can't make a library consisting of both local and streaming, which sucks.
I just did to double check and it definitely worked
- Added local file to a playlist
- downloaded playlist onto phone
- set offline and track was there
didnt have the track on my phone prior and the tool song is the only one thats a local file
If Spotify would add Tool, it'd probably be one heck of a party. I'm sure Spotify has asked them to add their music, let alone at least attempt to have them look into it. Tool is possibly one of the most influencal bands I know with alternative metal and good rock. Would love to hear them on my playlist however they are known for not really allowing their music to be on itunes, etc.
