MP3s aren't uploading

I've followed the instructions to upload MP3s to my music collection on Deezer using my PC and it's not working.

This seems like a clunky way to do this anyway. Is there some reason Deezer can't just recognise and play MP3s already on my phone? Google's Play Music app does that, so I don't understand why Deezer can't be modified to do likewise.

But, for now, the instructions for uploading MP3s aren't working for me, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Ray

    See this related support article:

    The article mentions the Flash player to be necessary. If that is still true, it would not work if you have uninstalled Adobe Flash already which will be disabled anyhow at the end of this year. It does not seem to be true though, I just could upload another MP3 file in the web player without Adobe Flash on my computer.

    Also note that the upload process is not shown with a progress bar or estimated time for the upload to finish. The uploaded file will be automatically added at the bottom of the song list then which can take a while depending on your internet upload speed. You should try it with one file first, and if this works, you can also highlight multiple files of an album or folder in the upload window to upload them in bulk.

    Hi ​@Carlos Jhardel Orellano! Could you send us a video of the error so we can check it out? 📹

    Also, let us know your device details (model and OS version).

    If possible, please share one of the files you're trying to upload 📁—that would help us investigate the issue faster!

    Thanks a lot! 🚀🔥
