Hi all,

I've been a paying Premium user for around eight years now and am pretty happy with it but I'm open to discovering new things. What are the good reasons, in your opinion, to shift to Deezer?

Reason number one.

Spotify is going to raise the prices. Price increase will arrive soon. Already on Family plans.

In other words, it doesn’t make any sense for me at least to raise prices in a recession, where people have lost jobs and are cutting unnecessary expenses — like their streaming subscriptions.

With Deezer Premium I enjoy Premium month at €7,99 price point year in advanced.

Spotify Premium can increase from 9,99 for 10,99 easily if not more.

I see big marketplace waiting Deezer because of this price raise this coronatime.

Hey @LFM

Our feature here won't be finished in 3 weeks but it's being prioritised because, after all, it is indeed a killer feature - and so, we have to be realistic. Subscribe to both topics if you can, so that you can be kept updated in case you decide to move to another streaming service :thumbsup_tone2:

Hey @Rudi

Thank you for the feedback. I will keep me updated regarding remote control.

It is good to know that Deezer sees this function as a priority to bring an additional differential to the service.

Concerning Spotify Connect Deezer can at least sync the play queues on all devices now, so it always starts at the beginning of the last heard song if you change your device. You can enable play queue synching in the audio quality settings.

FLOW - I’m in love with that feature . Mix all the genre and suggest new tunes .
Great audio quality . Better than Spotify
I can upload my own MP3 files to the service ( On Spotify you can but it’s a bit tricky )
When you hearted a song it won’t be added to the albums section like on Spotify
Great community . I think you won’t be lost here .

Currently trialling Deezer (coming from Spotify).

You can do something like Flow in Spotify. If you integrate Spotify with Last.fm, you can then get Last.fm to play random music through Spotify based on your (or others) previous listening habits. Can be a bit temperamental though.

Personally here to try out the lossless audio. I am also hoping the devs are a bit more responsive here...

And as the underdogs, we're super committed to elevating the service to the next level. Have you also checked our UCPS initiative here?

About UCPS. And this is my honest opinion about it.

That is a very good implementation and probably the least intrusive one possible. I hope that Spotify and other competitors will do it in a similar fashion. We need to make our music compensated.

From favourites to our night time discoverings. This idea is actually top notch to stay Deezer.
