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?

Hey
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 
I don’t think this is a deal breaker for me.
After all I am just listening with finest Bluetooth headphones on laptop and with loudest Bluetooth earphones on the phone. It works perfectly fine for me with Deezer playlist sync.
I still hope they can implement it for people who are keen into this Connection feature.
Like I said before, having Deezer Premium paid year in advanced is best hot dog in town.

Let's hope Deezer wakes up and starts doing something, because if Deezer Legend leaves to compete, it would be a real shame for Deezer...
They won’t wake up. Look at the chatboards.

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?
It depends. Deezer likes iPhone users and if you are one, fine. If you are not, and like long pieces of music, forget it. They inject silence right in the middle of the music if the music continues through tracks, as does an opera.
I am just trialing one with 3 mo from Samsung deal.
I like Deezer, but it has too much of a bugs and in over a year as a customer things has changed, but not all bugs we reported together disappeared. I’m not going for now, but I’ve been testing out.
I hope that Deezer will improve a lot.
In my opinion you can not just sit tight for years to wait full working product when elsewhere you can find one today. It was hard decision, but I might go to tilad or spoti after my Deezer half annual free.
Especially now when they raise price to 10,99, you can get more for less or same price.
I do not pay for Deezer Hifi a dime, but even this I think is not something to make it main player.
This is Legends price. I agree with all posted here, test service one year to see if it really works for you. For me decision was hard, but it feels like posting bug reports to them does nothing as no fixes.
They did fix bugs in months, but is still quite long time to walk daily with them.
I have problems activating tilad, but I sent them a Request.
Also I must say I do not like design of Web App of Deezer, especially the profile with all these tabs I never use and Android Offline not loading. Countless reports by me. It feels sad, I’ve posted about that too, but nothing is yet changed. FLOW plays the same music I heard daily from it already. No variety by now. I am literally at the point that I am willing to pay for a service that works better for me. The offline download problem is on Android for months now also reported by users, not just me and we still can’t see a proper fix for that. When core features, eg the point to subscribe does not work, it’s very funny. You do this or that just to Download playlist Offline full. It takes days and all these workarounds, elsewhere you update playlist and it is update on phone same second. On Deezer you go from app, close it, clear cache, just to get basics work. It’s sad and I tried to let them know as we Legends are to do, with no one to fix. When problem is when devs have time to do, I feel sad to search options. Again, it’s not to make bad day for everyone, I am just tired of bugs much.
I’d really like to stay longer, but with this much bugs, I’ll test for a while elsewhere.
Now as you see I get Deezer Hifi Family for free Legends price.
It’s fine as long as you do not want anything fancy. Apps not equivalent to features.
This all is what makes me going elsewhere, at least for main player :)
All you say is true. A year ago, someone said they were “working on” gapless play. They’re not serious.
Gapeless is available on mobile .

Hey
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.

No intention to one up you there, Logan_A btw, I hope it didn’t sound like I was being “special.” But I do have a special relationship to music. It’s the relationship that’s special, not me.

Looks like I am outta here, too. I have two weeks left in my trial subscription, but mentally I had set a deadline of September 1 for the improved Alexa skill and a functional remote for Alexa devices to be in place (I’ve been on a 3-month trial).
Rudi has been very responsive on the forums, thank you sir, but no changes to the service. And hearing that changes are coming soon is not reassuring when that has been the response for several years.
Apple Music sounds fantastic (every bit as good as deezer) and is infinitely more functional and at a lower price.
Qobuz just dropped the price of my Studio subscription from US $14.99/mo to $12.99/mo, so I will keep that for my hifi option to complement my Apple sub.

Hi all,

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.
Not gonna lie, Spotify was easier…
- I’m a last.fm freak and tracking my music habits with Spotify was smoother and way more accurate.
It’s true that Spotify scrobbling is a bit easier to use than the internal Deezer scrobbling option, but there are workarounds for most of the issues, as you might already know. If not, check the Deezer Scrobbling FAQ on the Last.fm support forum. The good thing is that it also works in the desktop app, web player and mobile apps like Spotify. Furthermore Spotify scrobbling also has problems which can get on your nerves, too. 
They have an option inside app to post on Last.fm and is broken.
Alternative and workaround should not be a solution .
They need some work, or even remove function that does not work. It scrobbles with track name only. The remixer does not go to Last.fm. In addition to that you need to install another app to phone.
Just to scrobble on Deezer. Is too much of a hassle.
If something, let it be a scrobbler, or new music bell, it should work.
Imagine to buy a car in a shop and it does not work fully. One part is dead.
Will you accept if the repairman asks you to search for a replacement part yourself on Amazon?

Spotify is still cheaper a year later. Not sure there is any valid reason to switch from Spotify.
I LOVE the track mixes. Pandora and Spotify keep on feeding you the same old tracks you’ve heard a million times. Deezer simply gives you the same mix it would give anyone else. This is how you break out of your bubble while still loving the type of music you love.
Don’t change a thing in your algorithm Deezer :)
I wonder, if Spotify comes with Hifi at the same price as Deezer, what benefit will remain here? Deezer is stagnating, he really has many faults and shortcomings, I don't see any progression. My reason for going to Deezer was the quality of the stream, Hifi is a condition for me. I liked Deezer and he saw improvement in many things. Unfortunately, for a long time now, from my point of view as a user, I see no progress in improving and eliminating errors.
You have a right to feel this way .
Once you pay, monthly, or in your case annually you should wait progress. In other words it may feel like you are stuck paying for nothing. When I registered to Deezer, I converted myself to annual to save money before even seeing how things are getting done here. Before it expired, I was thinknig to leave, but Rudi asked to Legends, and gave me 6 mo free because of that to extend that.
Like I said, I was at the point, I am not intrested to use it even for free anymore.
Like you, I didn’t see any progress in apps development and it feels much like for you, train is staying at it’s place for months. You can be patient yes, but for how much longer? This is question I asked myself obviously before I finally announced my travel elsewhere. Thanks a lot :)

Why am I called “Groupie” on this forum? I am not a Groupie, I am not selling my body or do blowjobs for access to artists. Not funny. Really NOT funny.
Update: So, my first support request to Deezer is out (not expecting a response on Sunday, don’t worry). I am experiencing kind of the same issues others on this thread have been describing, basically a lack of variety under a headline of “give me more like this but not the same songs all over again”. This, in modern streaming times, seems like a “must”. It works more or less on Amazon, it works pretty darn good on Spotify and I think it would even work on Apple music. With Deezer, over the last few days I basically got “nothing new”, only the same old songs on “Flow” and no way of discovering new grounds without going all bonkers on styles of music I don’t understand.
We’ll see how support reacts.
