Häufig gestellte Fragen (FAQ)

Kann ich jedes Album auf meiner Streaming-Plattform hören?

Die im Kalender abgedruckten Music Codes sind QR-Codes und lassen sich direkt über die Kamera-App scannen. Nicht jedes Album ist bei jedem Musik-Streaminganbieter verfügbar.

Viele der im Kalender gezeigten Alben sind ältere Schallplattenveröffentlichungen. Diese sind nicht oder nicht vollständig digital verfügbar.

Der Kalender versteht sich in erster Linie als Hommage an das Coverdesign und die Geschichte der Vinylkultur, nicht als vollständiger digitaler Musikkatalog.

Der Music Code lässt sich nicht scannen – was kann ich tun?

Wenn ein Music Code nicht erkannt wird, überprüfe bitte folgende Punkte:

Die App ist auf dem aktuellen Stand
Das Betriebssystem des Smartphones (iOS oder Android) ist aktuell
Der Code wird bei ausreichender Beleuchtung gescannt
Der Abstand zwischen Kamera und Code ist angemessen

In vielen Fällen lässt sich das Problem durch ein Update der App oder einen Neustart des Geräts beheben.

Warum haben manche Alben keinen Music Code?

Bei der Kalender-Serie „The Art of Vinyl Covers“ steht die Gestaltung der Cover und die Geschichte klassischer Schallplatten im Vordergrund. Viele der gezeigten Motive stammen von älteren oder historischen Vinyl-Veröffentlichungen.

Diese Schallplatten sind nicht immer als vollständiges Album auf allen Streaming-Plattformen verfügbar.

Mögliche Gründe sind:

Das Album wurde nie digital veröffentlicht
Es existieren keine Streaming-Rechte
Die Veröffentlichung ist nur auf Vinyl erschienen oder heute vergriffen
Der Künstler oder das Label ist nicht auf der Streaming-Plattform vertreten

In diesen Fällen kann leider kein Music Code bereitgestellt werden.
