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’m not sure if this was already discussed here, I just don’t know how to do a decent search in this thread)

Suggestion: desktop client - make currently playing song easier to locate

My favorites list is very long - over 500 titles.
When I play it, sometimes I want to look at the list and see what's coming up next, but for that I have to locate the currently playing song in the list.
This is very hard to do, as the list in the queue is long, and the only indication of the currently playing song is red title text, which is hard to find (I use dark mode). It used to be that the queue would open with the currently playing song at the top, but it doesn't do this now. 
So, why not have the currently playing song shown with a distinct background, so the whole line is highlighted and not just the title text?

Have you used the queue to see what is next ?

@JohnPower I am talking about the view in the queue

Yeah, even lighter gray would be very noticeable in a big list - but not annoying.

When I favourite a track, I also add it to one of my own playlists by its own genre. Likewise, when I’m listening to my own playlists, I unfavourite a track when I’ve grown tired of it and then delete using the desktop client at some point later(it seems the best way for me to keep the number of tracks I favourite under control otherwise I’ll exceed the 10k allowed in weeks :smile: ). 

It would be really useful to have the option of sorting unfavourited tracks to the top or bottom to make deletion easier when you have a LOT of tracks in a playlist. Every other column can be sorted the way you want except favourites.

It would also be helpful to actually see disliked tracks marked in the same column, probably with a broken heart, and sort by that too. So that you can, for example, listen to a playlist, dislike some tracks, then save the rest to another playlist.

Is gapless still going to be added?

Just noticed a pre-release album on Deezer, with only a few tracks available - and the rest having a calendar icon in the track list. Would appreciate this icon also placed on the cover art, so that it isn’t an unpleasant surprise that the album isn’t fully available. Or mark it in some other way.

Hey @Gaffer13 can you please share a screenshot of the available tracks and the ones with a calendar icon in order to investigate and pass the feedback to our music team?
Thanks

Here it is:

 

 

It’s probably new and/or rare. The first time I see this on Deezer. Other services do have this.
