We would if we could @jirikovoego - but because our resources are limited to all features that have been requested, it's hard to give the development hours to build an app from scratch. It's not out of the question, but I can tell you we won't work on that for now - thank you for your kind feedback, it's much appreciated:thumbsup_tone2:

Hello,

Great thread sorry for noticing this late.

Will you allow the iPad app to run on Macs with Apple Silicon? Would you consider a Catalyst app? I believe Deezer is the kind of macOS app that could benefit a lot from becoming a universal app.

A “File” menu to make it looks more native on macOS.

Regarding more specifics, the Desktop app is missing AirPlay (or even better AirPlay 2) output support. It used to me available in the former (native) Desktop macOS app.

More generally, I would rather be able to have a music library instead of “favorites”, but that’s the older me who remains used to having an iTunes Library with all my CDs…

Best,

A

all that literally happened with my posts was that they moved it to a place I never found and now i find that they are back in my profile so I guess all is fixed...

Not a problem @squirrel that's still good info to share! I'll pass it on and ask you to keep us posted in case the storage space changes for some reason :thumbsup_tone2:

Very intriguing indeed @squirrel 

Is there any way you could give us the Windows 10 version and the previous desktop app version so that I could pass the info to our devs?

Glad that now it takes the right space :v_tone2:


Unfortunately, I have already permanently deleted the uninstalled version, and a couple of days ago, my Windows OS underwent a major automatic update, so I don’t know the version that was installed when the problem occurred.  The current version is Windows 10 Pro, version 2004, OS build 19041.388.

Hey @squirrel 

You're right, it shouldn't take that much space at all.

I recommend you to uninstall the app, then search for %appdata or similar to find the Deezer folder and delete it. Keep us posted :thumbsup_tone2:


Hi Rudi, I have uninstalled.  There was nothing in appdata as Deezer for Windows is a Windows Store App and not standalone software.  I have installed Deezer afresh from the Windows Store and the disk size used is now 214 Mb.  I wonder why it was malfunctioning before?

My Windows 10 desktop has warned me that I am running out of disk space.  The largest amount of disk space is taken by software.  When I order my software / apps by file size, the largest app by far is Deezer.  It takes up a whopping 8.66 Gb.  Even the Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2016 suite only takes up 1.30 Gb.  What is the reason for Deezer taking up so much space?  I have gone through Deezer’s settings and I have not downloaded any music.  There is no reason why the software needs such an enormous amount of disk space.  Please can you advise?  Thank you.

@STeeL835 Yes I know what you mean, most of the time I do edit it myself and delete the promotion bit to make it more personal. Also like the idea about the title!

Copy Track name - Artist button in share menu

Sometimes you want to share a track in form of it’s info - Artist and track name, maybe album, because links are forbidden where you want to share it, the link is redundant in context, a person can’t/doesn’t want to open it, or simply because it would be convenient. Currently you can’t do that easily - in queue screen (and in other places) text isn’t selectable and you have to re-type it yourself.

It would be convenient if ‘Share‘ modal had a ‘copy’ button not only for links, but also for track name, which would copy name, artist and album to clipboard. Maybe also a link on the next line, if you need that promotion bit, I personally don’t mind, but I see how it can be annoying for some people (like if it was is too loud, on 3 lines - basically an AD, but you pay for it)

Name of what’s playing now

A title in the Queue screen that tells you what kind of queue (playlist/album/artist or mix and their name) is playing (like in mobile app)

Hello @STeeL835, thanks a lot for all the precious feedback, it’s actually quite impressive that you went this far into details, I appreciate that!

A mini player

When you resize the window too small (300x500px for example) it would turn into a current track screen with a separate tab for queue

Agree about settings, it could accumulate different settings in one place with tabs

  • Window viewport zoom (to keep it on restarts) (also make zoom in on ctrl + [+], not ctrl + shift + [+])
  • Close button behavior
  • Sound settings from popup on music control panel
  • Sound output settings (windows can’t help you if you have wireless headphones connected and suddenly sounds start to play from laptop speakers)
  • Crossfade and cue settings (I remember they were implemented in previous major version)
  • A path for music cache
  • A list of paths with music stored locally (but that’s for using it as a regular player, which is a separate big feature)

Some settings don’t have functionality right now, but such functionality is nice to have

Mark links/buttons that open browser with a special icon.

There aren’t many links that open external browser, but when you click one, it can confuse you a little

If you remember when you posted it I can try to find it. Even if it was deleted, I would be able to find it. That’s not the topic of this conversation though, but you can contact us via PM about this.

Hello @Sergi.Sanz, we do not censor messages, one of the rare exceptions being when they contain personal details, however in that case it is for your own safety. We do however merge topics together in an effort to keep the Community organised, and it’s a lot of work. You can find the message you’re referring to above in this thread.

Have a nice day

There has been a few topics discussing something similar recently @iCeCoCaCoLa64 thank you for your contribution, I believe it could be a positive change as well :thumbsup_tone2:

When you use the volume up/volume down hotkey in the Deezer desktop app, the volume goes up or down by 10 out of the max possible 100. This is far too much in my opinion.

I suggest adding a setting to customize how much the volume increases/decreases when you adjust it with a hotkey. So if you set that setting to 2, hitting the volume up hotkey would make your volume go from 40 to 42, then 44, 46, etc. (as an example)

Hello @Weareqpr, yes it’s possible, the gapless has just been integrated to the mobile app, it should soon be available on the desktop app as well :slight_smile: We’ll let you know on the Community once that’s the case.

Have a nice day

When available on Android and Web? And crossfade news?

I asked this sometime ago but they censored me like other times before…
The mac icon in the mac menu bar is in black and white kind of gray

but the windows icon is perfectly in color and I wish this could get fixed?
Its all about the small details nowadays….

I would like to know why my post was literally censored ?

It literally is terrible and I only use it because spotify won't let me use it while I have discord open. So, the issues go on like this:

 

  1. Why the hell do I still, AFTER TWO YEARS, don't have the option to make this app close when I press the close button? The way it works now is stupid af, needing me to go the f**** notifications tab and end the process there. This is stupid and should not be up by default and it's a SIN that I don't have the option to turn it off;

  2. Why the heck can't I select my output devices? This is SO BASIC, like, it just breaks the app in so many ridiculous ways;

  3. Why can I not select where my music is dowloaded? I have THREE DIFFERENT STORAGE DEVICES!!!;

  4. Why do I not even have a goddamn settings tab for how it interacts with the OS?

 

In conlusion, the theme here is: GIVE ME MORE OPTIONS. Right now I feel like this is apple's wet dream, on which the company decides everything they want me to use. I don't want an app that chooses things for me, I want an app that lets ME choose the way I want it to run.
