I’m on the Deezer “desktop app” version 7.0.10 on macos.

Previously, I could pause a song, to briefly listen to audio from a youtube video or video in a text message for example, then unpause and the song would pick up where I left off.

Now the song restarts from the beginning. This appears to be new behavior? Why the change? 

It would make sense if I paused for a long time, but typically I’m talking about 5 minutes or less before I come back to the song.

BTW, this workflow works just fine on the ios app - would be great if the desktop app matched.

Hey Deezer Team: Please disregard my gripes above.

I realized I was on an old version of the desktop app and had never been prompted to upgrade.

I deleted it, installed the latest dmg from the deezer.com (7.0.50), launched the app,  was prompted to restart the app for an upgrade and now on 7.0.190 pause/restart behaves like it should!

Thank you!

The problem with stuttering, buffering and songs sometimes not playing for seconds/minutes persists. I’m on desktop app version 7.1.10 and it’s sometimes so frustrating I just go back to listen to music on Youtube. You guys really need to work this out.

Hello, I am having an extremely bizarre issue. 

I use an M1 Macbook Air, Sequoia 15.6.1, and have a recurring issue in which my Wi-fi on my laptop constantly disconnects only while Deezer is open either as a desktop app or in my browser.

Is there any way to know why in the world this is happening or how to fix it? I started using Deezer as a free-trial just recently, but this issue affects my entire computer and is really turning me off from using it.


I downloaded the Deezer 7.1.20-universal application but when trying to open it on my mac running macOS 26.2 it just bounces in the tray and crashes. 

I’ve deleted and redownloaded it a couple times and accepted the “open non apple software” every time. 

 

I’ve no clue how to even begin trouble shooting this thing. Console Log shows only error for Deezer is 

“Internal inconsistency in menus - menu <private> believes it has <private> as a supermenu, but the supermenu does not seem to have any item with that submenu”

 

Only way I can get it to start is by running it as sudo.

It was from the official download link. 

I figured out the issue. The .config folder in my home drive changed owners for some reason. I chown’ed it back to my user and the app started worked fine. 

I’m unsure if that permissions change was because of deezer or something else. Haven’t seen that before and it hasn’t been an issue before now. 


Hello, I’m using Deezer 7.1.20 on an M1 Mac on macOS Sonoma 14.5 and have found that pressing the back button (either in the app or on my keyboard) doesn’t restart the current song, instead it always goes back to the previous song. This happens on the web app as well. Is this a bug, or is there a setting to control the behavior of the back button?

Starting one or two weeks ago the deezer webplayer (FF 139+ for linux) shows a 404 page after I login.

Steps:

navigate to www.deezer.com

login

Click through captchas

select Family member

Land at 404

Removing all additional website info at that point and manually reverting the webaddress to www.deezer.com allows me to finally navigate to my actuall Deezer account and play music

Issue is resolved since a while now, thanks!


In the macOS app, when the lyrics tab is open, the “X” button that hides lyrics doesn’t work.
