Long-time Spotify Premium user - why should I move to Deezer?

Gapeless is available on mobile .

It was hard decision for me, but as I use it as my main player I can not no more live with it. I asked 9 months ago to improve trackmixes on underground dance, and app still plays top 100 charts. I opened same name on other services, and there was related music to the track. Deezer is great, but I can't just sit tight waiting for years, to get what is available right now if you walk other way.

It was hard decision, but I use only one music player, so I finally need options.

Deezer may work for you if you are listening casually and has no need for else. I do not get benefit from Hifi, so I’d prefer 320K AAC, which they do not do. I need to save my data with my slow nets.

I’m sorry, but I just can’t take it anymore, the bugs I and other users keep reporting simply gets nowhere.

Same bugs week after week, it gets on nerves.

Especially the FLOW playing same I already hear, trackmixes going charts, if you listen rare music.

When generally like I said Deezer has potential, I don’t see it improving, so this is why I decided to change service, even if I get Deezer Legends price which is much cheaper than on price list.

I am for 15 months, if they’d wanted, they’d improve in that time. As small business you really need to support it and I wanted, but the amount of bugs still online simply has tired me to wait.

Not interested in listening to gapless on mobile. I want to use this as a home stereo libray/player. But I

l’ll try it right now.

It’s very clear that you’ve been a huge support for Deezer and it’s users @hpguru . No service is worth putting up with if you feel frustrated or certain bugs spoil your enjoyment. Music is one of the most important things in life for relaxation and you shouldn’t have to struggle with an apps issues to get that enjoyment. 

My subscription has been cancelled with Deezer and I’m off as well, it’s been a pleasure chatting with you, @Rudi  and @dee_dirk .

I agree and want to add that, for me, beyond relaxation, music is a professional necessity. As an artist and sometimes self-taught composer, arranger, lyricist, and performer, its beyond vital. It’s part of the language I speak. It’s a cornerstone of the culture we live in. When I listen to Don Carlo and there’s an interruption in the middle of an aria, it’s like spit in my soul. How can I really open up if I know I’m going to be spit on. This may seem overly dramatic to you but, believe me, for me it’s quite real and an accurate depiction of the events.

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.

You too :(

It is sad in a way, but these bugs simply do matter. You try to clear cache and make a workaround for Offline lists to download fully. I found swipe down works when I simply do that on list so it does two things. Offline playlists loads the rest not yet downloaded if you can not wait days and updated playlist counts on Android (track amount). I do that daily. Have been reported with no avail or timeline for a fix. Eventually you just get to the head with it. You need to use your brain how to make Deezer work better. I wanted to stay and see longer, but how much longer until you get the basics that works.

Offline works so poorly I stopped using offline with Deezer.

Widget does not display artist image, reported many times, still no progress in months.

From my observation I see no reason to stay, as it does not work as I wanted him to work.

I tried my best to post them issues, as well artist releases on wrong pages, wrong artist listings (like no releases when there should be). This is not an issue elsewhere and it shouldn’t be our work to let someone know that on this page there’s 10 releases missing from artist repertoire.

I’ll save so much time transferring once again.

Just because I am legends doesn’t mean I have no opinion.

Logan, if you want to talk more, do PM and I’ll give you my mail!

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.

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?
