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

sorry but i do not find my post where I said why i might leave deezer that one has been completely deleted and censored

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.

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

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

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

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!

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)

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)

@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!

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.

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 

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?

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 

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.

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 

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...

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,

Very positive feedback @jeremybonan, thanks a lot for complementing this thread 

We're rethinking the way we have our favourites at the moment, to see if we can develop a media library style as you mentioned. About Apple improvements, we're always trying to keep up - so these options (Silicon compatibility and AirPlay 2) should gradually developed by ou teams. I'm going to forward your comments to them as well

Hey @Sergi.Sanz glad to hear. Sometimes we do a bit of tidying up to make sure our devs get all the right info from the community, as accessible as possible 

Seeker background color 

Make it less bright and more transparent. Now it’s so grey that for some colors you have to look really close to see track progress

Really like the attentive suggestion @STeeL835 thanks a lot!

I've forwarded your comments and the screenshots too, to make it easier for our devs to see what you mean 

Please add folders for more convenient library management, I have 150 personal playlists and 300 for music search, (I am a DJ), in the form in which playlists are displayed now, it is very difficult to work with them, thanks

it would also be nice if the tracks that we prohibited from recommending were a little darkened in playlists and the deezer would skip them in playlists and not play if they came across in queue 

Hello,

Can you please let me know, why the hell did the Mac desktop app window is now inverted!?!?!?!

Left panel went to right side! Why!?!

And everything else as changed from left to right!!!… 

Unbelievable!

Sorry to hear that @Ranaudio 

Don't worry, just uninstall the version you've got right now. Restart your Mac and install the latest version. If you believe you've already got the latest version, the process should help fix the problem as well 

Solved!

This one got was getting me worried!

Thank You!

Hi, Im trying to create a new playlist but when I search an artist I have to select one by one, because if a select all song filter, the software select all song from that playlist instead the filter song. Its really anoying and I dont think is very difficult to change, just a few lines codes for the developer. I put an image for the example.

This happens in web site and microsoft store app. For my mobile device, just I dont have this option but for me doesn´t matter.

Im learning write in English, so I hope you understand me, sorry for my redaction
