Missing Many Features

Really wanted to switch to Deezer, but there’s not really a benefit other than ethical from Spotify, feature wise it’s much worse experience, would totally switch if it was closer with the features. Just wanted to share my notes that I took for myself in case they can inspire further product development, I’ve made a note to check back on new features in a year from now, thanks for making Deezer :) Some of these are minor of course and not that important.

✓ Shazam does work with Deezer, even though not advertised that much

✓ Songkick does work for Deezer as well suprisingly

✓ Light mode is so chill and bright / airy

✓ Customize sections on home page (not on Desktop though)

✓ Favorite button in iOS audio pop up

✕ No folders, basically a dealbreaker

✕ The bottom navigation is not aligned and off on iOS

✕ Desktop app has bunch of weird design decisions, doesn’t feel polished

✕ Favorites is top level in sidebar but then is also a playlist, Spotify uses the term Library which makes a lot more sense

✕ Top tracks on artist page on iOS is super weird, not in a list format

✕ Tap into a playlist it doesn’t show you the playlist in list format on iOS

✕ No Raycast extension, but someone could probably make easily

✕ App doesn’t remember zoom level upon quit and reopen

✕ No CMD+K command bar shortcut

✕ Can’t change width of sidebar to see full playlist names

✕ Sleeve app does not support for Mac OS, even if set to ‘Automatic’ for audio source

✕ Doesn’t seem to work with Mac Media Key Forward to use the keyboard controls nicely
