I would say not to be discouraged, at least not yet

The slow way that the spreadsheet grew to ~2,600 albums created a false impression IMHO... as the majority of those albums were actually available from Tidal since January 6th... but they were just "hidden" as Tidal did a very poor job of making them "visible"

Most of the above albums were from the Warner label... who signed up with MQA last May... and therefore took several months to produce those ~2,400 albums

Likewise, UMG have promised 100,000 tracks [8,000 albums]... and IMHO these will become available in one or two large tranches... rather than a X albums a week

So, hopefully UMG will get their ducks in row soon and start releasing... while also bearing in mind that there is real value in them going back to 1st gen masters and getting the most data possible from those masters, for subsequent processing / MQA encoding
