Not downloading*

 

Hi all! I recently added a couple of tracks to favourites, but alas, they aren't downloading. Never happened before.

 

Before you ask:

- Yes, I am on, WiFi and it's working.

- Yes, I have the download toggle switched to green.

- It doesn't download on cellular either. 

- Yes, I have enough storage space on my device. 

- Smart cache is > than Deezer files size. 

 

I would rather refrain from cleaning the cache completely, as it will take me hours to download everything again. 

 

Thanks in advance for all your suggestions and workarounds, I really appreciate it!

If the tracks are still not downloading, you can try resetting the downloads for those specific tracks. To do this, go to your list of downloaded tracks, find the ones that aren't downloading, and remove them from your downloads. Then, try re-adding them to your favorites and downloading them again.

Hi @Keith Miller @ZaibSailum, thank you for sharing the workaround to overcome the difficulties in downloading your music. I'm sure this will be very helpful for other users who are experiencing the same issue.

We don't want workarounds, we want you to fix the app.

When I read about your price increases I thought you may have hired more Devs, obviously this is not the case 🤔🤔🤔🤔

I am having this problem in 2024. I also would prefer not to delete my cache.

Hi @ferg8 @RobLloyd @Project Testing, I hear you.

It's frustrating when the app doesn't work as expected.

Hopefully, the team is working on fixing however we still don’t have an ET date for the fix.

Thanks for sharing your feedback with us.

Hey, Since you've ensured that your Wi-Fi and cellular connections are working, and you have enough storage space, it might be worth trying a few more steps before resorting to clearing the cache completely.

Sometimes, simply closing and reopening the app can resolve minor glitches. Give it a try if you haven't already.
