Spotify features I would love on Deezer

Good evening, I friend recently joined Spotify and was showing me a number of features that i would love to see on Deezer.

  1. Crossfading between tracks
  2. Gapless playback: Which allows for gapless playback of songs, specifically created for live concerts or dj mixes
  3. Automix: Allows for a smooth transition between tracks in a playlist
  4. Canvas: this plays short looping images of the album art or artist on a mobile device.

All these i really enjoyed and would love the functionality of them in Deezer.

One great feature that still out trumps is the availability of live radio stations.

Just to jump in on this Radio Stations on Spotify are like "Artist Radio" not live radio. Cross fade is available on Deezer iOS and Android Beta but not desktop (but is on Spotify along with automix)

Hi there @Johann.Strydom 

Thank you for your honest feedback. I'm particularly intrigued by number 3 and 4. I'll forward your comments on.

About number 1, which platform are you referring to? We've got crossfade on iOS and Android (Beta versions). In relation to number 2, we've recently released Gapless playback - for more info, please see here :wink:

And finally, what radio stations are missing? We also offer radio stations, in several countries at the moment :thumbsup_tone2:

I'm a "Deezerhead" (fanboy) and just love music! (Please note even though I love all things Deezer I do not work for Deezer and therefore cannot assist with account issues etc.)

My Apologies, I meant that Spotify lacks the radio feature, not us on Deezer.

I mainly use Android platforms, based in South Africa, maybe not rolled out here yet.

But its promising knowing that you are working on the features.

I was on Spottily Free not so long ago.

The one feature attracted me and my mind.

I can not sleep now because of this thing. And it is track suggestions after each list.

Easy to curate playlists, especially if you need some recommendations fast.

On Deezer Premiere service I use curating lists is not hard with FLOW, but sometimes I just want some more, or some of my lists are not often updated because of my laziness probably. It asks simply too much, when you usually like to listen certain genre and no time for another.

I have some list for lesser heard genres, and updating them is a pain on Deezer.

Flow may not play recommendations, if you do not play that genre for the longer time.

This is why recommendation system could help Deezerfans the most.

Most of the times I do not know where to start for recommendations on Deezer Premium plan. Trackmixes are mostly not working for music I listen, FLOW can play the same liked tracks.

I hope they’d made it easier to discover, not to hear it again all day.

THIS. REALLY.

i need this. sometimes i want recommendations only for my black metal list, sometimes only for my slow rock list. this would be awesome.

We have flow, mixes, country selector, mood change, lyrics and live radios which Spotify doesn’t have. Also I heard they’re working on gapless too.

Thanks @Rudi 

Great to see Gapless ok Deezer but I believe it’s not on iOS yet. Can’t wait to try it out.
