Windows/Mac Deezer Desktop/Web App - Feedback for improvements

Windows/Mac Deezer Desktop/Web App - Feedback for improvements

 

Our Desktop/Web app can improve, and we need your help :desktop:

This is the space for all those improvement calls you kindly make to us when looking at how to make our desktop and web apps better platforms.

What should I post here? :thinking:

  • if the app needs User Interface or User Experience (UI/UX) enhancements, let us know
  • if the app should be compatible with certain devices or audio outputs, we're with you
  • if there's a cool integration we should consider, shout out
  • and if any feature is missing, don't forget to mention

This topic is intended for version 4.20.0 and above, and for our browser version :floppy_disk:

I don’t know if this is the right place to ask, but is there a way we can see a somewhat more transparent version of what bugs/features are being worked on, and timelines?


@Rudi you’ve been doing a great job at managing people’s complaints and expectations, but perhaps something that you can point to with regards to updates can help everyone.

That is a very good question @Paulo Magbanua I'm actively working towards that, trying to be more and more transparent with our community. It's difficult because in tech a lot can change from one day to another and we also face our own challenges when developing features and fixing bugs. I'm hoping to add a 'Product Updates' feature to our community this year, from our provider, InSided. It's a tool that will enable community managers like myself to keep the community updated with certain developments here at Deezer.

So around Deezer, the community is actually the best place to find out updated info on our platform. And the best place to ask if the info isn't available.

At the moment I can tell you that we're working on improving our SDKs (for existing and future integrations), our desktop app (improving performance, fixing bugs and adding new features), our player (for all apps), among other important developments. This is the year when Deezer decided to kill these annoying bugs once and for all, and also to improve our connectivity. If you have any specific question, please feel free to send me a PM :wink:

Hi-

The keyboard shortcut to zoom in on MacOS does not work for me. Zooming out is fine. I also find that the amount I have zoomed in occasionally resets, unfortunately I do not know how to replicate it.

Could the key shortcut “cmd + ,” be assigned to opening settings please? It’s like that in every other mac application. 

Native mac trackpad swipe gestures to go back/forward on pages would be nice. If it saved the previous page’s last layout/scroll status that would be amazing.

 

Other:

Would love to see crossfade options added. 

Zooming out on smaller resolutions leaves a lot of unused black/white space on the side of songs in playlists/album views.

Could we see more than just a few songs from an album at a time, or an option to load them all? It’s tedious to have to click “See more tracks” and then go back only to find the last page isn’t where I left it.

 

Thanks for your time.

Thanks a lot for the feedback again @Draked 

Crossfade for desktop is on the plans and our major updates scheduled for this year are bound to solve the problems with shortcuts and zooming the view.

Plus, there's a lot of support for tracking back where you left (position) as well. Please stay tuned, we're looking forward to these improvements but there isn't a clear timeline for them yet. I'll keep everyone informed!

@Rudi Yeah! I really dreaming about control PC version from my smartphone. Deezer often recommend me blocked tracks in every days playlists and I hate go to my PC every time for skip that tracks. So this is really needed functionality.

We can’t add tracks for play next when playing Flow. When you want listen some tracks by new artists you can’t add them to the playlist in the Flow.:confused:

Hi, 

Recently I aquired a set of KEF LS50 Wireless 2. With the KEF app there is support for these speakers and the sound is amazing. 

 

Upon downloading and installing Deezeer and login i noticed that there is no option to stream directly over wifi from the computer to the speakers. 

 

However looking at your competition, Tidal this function exist. Is this something you would consider to bring in your app? 

 

Pls see screenshot from Tidal. Below you can see 1. is the speaker i pressed on Tidal and on 2. it is the LS50 Wireless II speakers connection.

Dark / Light Mode Auto Switch:

Can you use the windows night light state to switch the app from light to dark mode etc?

 

Visualizations:

Would it ever be possible to allow for the addition of winamp style visualizations?

Here are some issues i’ve discovered lately

  • no searching possible in the mp3’s
  • no sorting possible in the mp3’s
  • latest uploads have no alphabetical order and appear in the bottom of the list
