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

Hey @Feejus 

Yes  we're working on that this year! Stay tuned.

Hi @Humanoiz that's feedback for Flow, not the desktop app. Noted 

Hey @robotstefan 

Dark/Light mode seems feasible, will pass it on. For visualizations/equalizer, please vote here:

And finally @Martijn.Keymis for MP3s I'm not sure if we'll prioritise it this year. However, the other sorting options are available on Web, so they'll come to the desktop app once we've released our major updates planned 

Hi.

I have searched  this thread but might have missed if this has already been mentioned.

I have three suggestions:

1. it would be good to have toolbar/deskband mode, so that user can see what is currently playing and use simple controls without requirements to switch to main window. Something like this (this is foobar deskband controls)

   

   Or maybe some kind of API (not deezer API, but instead desktop app API), so that third party developer can send commands to desktop app, that way it would be simple to implement toolbar controls.

2. can you make volume slider accept input from mouse scroll wheel.

3. some kind of visual feedback of current volume, without requirement to hover mouse pointer over volume button

Since there seems to be no way to edit post.

Addition to #2: would be great if there was posibility to assign global hotkeys to some actions, for example to change deezer app volume without openning window at all.

While I can only speak for myself, I generally prefer to keep global volume constant, and only change in app volume in media applications.

PS. My system is Windows 10.

Hi! These are the things that IMO keep the Mac desktop app from being virtually perfect (apart from already mentioned gapless playback):

• There's no hotkey to highlight the Filter field (which is strangely also labeled "Search", the same as the global Search field)
• Zoom in should be [Ctrl/Cmd =] instead of [Ctrl/Cmd +], or maybe even both, since some keyboards have numpads; mine doesn't
• Sometimes, on a relaunch, Deezer seems to forget which zoom % it had in the last session; but if you try to zoom in/out again, it works as if it suddenly remembered. Example:
  • Run Deezer
  • Go to "Albums"
  • Zoom out to 80% or something
  • Quit Deezer and launch it again; zoom will be visually at 100%
  • Go to "Albums" again
  • Zoom out once; now we're at 70% instead of 90%

Please take a look at this picture:

This is at the top of my screen. Is this:

the equivalent to the minimi on other computers?

Amazing feedback @tyllerj @Andrey Nikolaev 

You're true fans of the desktop app like me!

@Andrey Nikolaev

Number 2 and 3 seem like essential features. Number 1 sounds pretty cool, so can I ask you to create a topic for votes in the ideas section here?

It should remember the zoom, I agree @tyllerj 

I'll pass everything on now. Have a great week!

@studilaroche33 that's the menu bar on Macs, so yes - I use Brave too, by the way 

Haha, we use Brave because it is the safest browser we could find, look at this, I really like it because of this:

Click on this, it right next to the address bar, this is really cool:

This is what it shows if you click it, it blocks ads & trackers! It IS AMAZING!!!!

I’m really lovin’ Brave!

On the web app at least - I haven’t used the desktop app - the transport controls are uncomfortably far from the center where the playback position and track details are located. The Deezer website is adaptive, and on a 4K screen, this can be even more annoying as the distance can be bigger between the two sections. More so when the window is maximized.

Maybe also have the album art on the left of the playback and track details section to separate transport controls.

This is very interesting feedback for us @jjd I've passed it on, straight-away, verbatim. Thank you for your contribution!
