Song skipping like a scratched cd

I am using a Moto z2 play Android phone. In the last 6 months I've started to notice my songs are skipping like a scratched cd and have been producing this popping noise. It started out on just one or two songs but not is like every 5th song. And it is always the same songs. I have I downloaded the playlists that seem to be affected and have uninstalled the Deezer app, restarted my phone and then reinstalled Deezer. It fixes it for a few weeks and then its back.

Hey @Celtic Botan I am sorry to hear that.
Could you please share a video reproducing the problem, either with mp3 uploads and native tracks in order to pass the feedback to our devs and investigate? 
Thanks 

Reviving this thread, because it’s 2024 and I’ve been having this issue NONSTOP and it’s SO annoying.

  • the skipping issue happens on Desktop (Win11, Mozilla Firefox); it doesnt happen on the phone app
  • the skipping-like-a-CD happens at the begining of certain tracks, and always the same tracks
  • it’s usually tracks I’ve uploaded myself,(and unfortunately, I’m forced to upload a lot of stuff because they are tracks not hosted by Deezer, and often, by no streaming services at all, so you can see my problem here)
  • HOWEVER, it also does happen on Deezer-native tracks
     
  • I’ve already performed all the steps suggested here (logging out, clearing cache, uninstalling Mozilla Firefox, testing other browsers, testing the desktop Deezer app) - I had to do all of that because I’ve had ANOTHER, unrelated issue on Deezer desktop recently (album pages weren’t loading; the UI seemed a little bugged too, with the playlists on the left side weren’t loading). I asked for support on Deezer for this other issue, and they were unable to fix it, the issue went away “magically” after a few more days
  • I also complained about the skipping like a CD glitch, but it wasn’t solved

    So yeah, as you can see I’m running out of creativity to deal with the skipping issue. The one and only thing that “”solves”” it is restarting the track, which is not a good “solution” at all even more when it’s a bunch of tracks doing that.

@Warren Husband I am not sure this troubleshooting will help but it worth trying:
Here's what you can do:

  • Log out of Deezer on all devices it might be logged in
  • Get a new password for the Deezer account linked to the sound system via this link
  • Delete Deezer from the Control4 app
  • Turn off your sound system device for 1-2 minutes
  • Turn it back on
  • Add Deezer to the Control4 app
  • Login with your new Deezer password

Hi @Darlig! Sorry about it. Please try to do that and if still have issues, please send me the link of the album/track with the problem and the the Deezer app version and the Operative System on your phone? 🕵🏽

Take care.

I am having the same issue the last months playing from the website (as Deezer has no app for Apple devices). Is driving me nuts. Try listening to a whole piece of classical or something, it’s impossible.

 

Deezer has an amazing sound but it’s by far the most glitchy service with the least support. I am seriously thinking of moving to Apple Music now they are loseless too. This is ridiculous. Has anything improved for you?

Worth a try when it next plays up I will give them a go, thanks for the advice

Hi Jaime

Thanks for the reply, there are no error messages on the Control4 system, only audio drop outs (typically buffering problems) when streaming Deezer through Control4. Playback from my phone works perfectly. This doesn't happen all the time, but often enough to be a pain... thanks again for you assistance

Hello @Warren Husband do you get this error/buffering messages in the Control4 screen or in the Control4 app with Deezer in your phone? In any of the cases, could you please provide a screenshot with the problem.
Thanks

I am having the same issue on many devices (Sonos, control4 controller, phones IPads) same songs. Not sure what to do have made a lot of play lists do not want to change platforms but can’t listen to the music this way

hey there, i have many Control4 systems using Deezer that suffers what seems to be buffering issues. this is consistant on multiple control4 systems, running different OS versions, on different networks and internet speeds all with the latest Deezer driver. all other streaming services work fine (Tidal, Spotify and Tunein as examples) all Control4 settings have been checked but still the problem remains. I cant say I’ve seen similar issues on other streaming products (Heos and B&W Formation tested) any thoughts or suggestions, Control4 has not yet been able to come up with a solution for this.

Hey @Heidi and John 

Sorry about your experience. We can surely help you.

Is this happening to the same tracks? Have you tried restarting your internet router?

Please post the link for the songs, it could be something on them directly and we can certainly fix :thumbsup_tone2:

Hey @Crumeltje 

We release a new mobile app every couple of weeks, we're always working on fixing bugs and improving things. There's still a lot of room open for improvement - thank you for your support! :relaxed:

Hi @Roger Cox 

Sorry to hear that. Is there anything that we can do to assist you having a better experience? Have you tried contacting our Customer Care team?

I am so tired of this app. I am on the family version and there is just constant bugs. Sometimes it says requested song can't play, sometimes it plays but skips like a broken CD. Sometimes it's unable to add favorites. I have cleared cache etc and it works for a while. I think it may be time to get Spotify again if they can't come up with a fix properly.

Hello @Crumeltje  thank you for the detailed explanation. Ahaha I’m intrigued to know what dogs like to listen to because - I have two at home. Thank you for making sure there is only one device playing music in each profile. 

Sorry, in that case, I need to ask more questions.

  1. Does this problem only happen with downloads or also when you are online?
  2. The title of this thread is Song skipping like a scratched cd - when do the songs skip? In the middle of a song or at the end? 
  3. Are you sure that ALL Songs were downloaded onto every single device individually?
  4. Were the songs downloaded while mobile data was switched off, strong Wifi was used and waited until the download process was finished?

Thank you so much for all your replies - we are sure we can fix this problem :slight_smile:

Hi @Pia.Deezer ,

I was waiting for it to happen again, so I could record it and then show what it sounded like to make it more clear.

But... it then never happened again, and it's been a while since! I have no idea what fixed it, but I'm glad it is fixed. Thank you for the support!

PS: the playlist of my dogs consists of only Haevn and My Indigo. I want to expand it more with some other music though. The music they have now is calming, but it's not necessary to be this calm :)

Hey @J13 @Alex Mandrik 

Sorry to hear that.

The trouble here is that it can be caused by different reasons. Have you tried changing the audio quality settings to see if it helps?

I'm having the same problem recently with all my family accounts, happens with random songs, different artists.. it is very annoying, sometimes it sounds like a scratched CD and other times it skips to the next song in the middle.

Considering that I pay for a family pack, it is quite disappointing

I'm having the same problem. Been having it for months now. I've tried doing all of those steps mentioned and nothing seems to help. I have an S8+ now but also had the same problems on my S7. Getting entirely fed up with paying out for scratched CD's!

Hello @arivas, glad to hear that, our teams indeed released a fix. Let us know if you notice again any changes.

It seems the problem was solved with the last update, I’ve been playing music for a while without errors since this update, I hope it stays like that :grinning: .
