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.

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

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

(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.

Wish-list across all platforms:

  1. option to keep the lyrics going even when out of focus, useful for online meetings you need to share the lyrics and still keep doing other things in different windows
  2. option to cross-fade songs between 0s and 12s
  3. option to allow smooth transition between songs in a playlist, DJ mode
  4. option for hardware acceleration

I got a small annoyance. The notification in the upper right corner (e.g. “We won’t recommend you this track anymore”) is covering the arrow that closes the song queue. And when you’re browsing something else, you can’t press “Don’t recommend” for the track that’s currently playing without opening the queue. So you have to open it, then you have to wait for the notification to disappear before you close the queue.

 

Just noticed that it got fixed. Thanks!:smiley:

Hello @Gaffer13 

Thank you for your feedback! It makes sense to sort the tunes/releases by release date.

I personally love also the new releases added to the playlist.

We will pass your feedback on to the rest to the team!

Enjoy Deezer! :flashlight:

It’s the second time I got the friday releases playlist, and I think it’s rather inconvenient that it reuses some tracks from the week before, but mixes in the new tracks. Maybe it should be sorted by release date, so that you can quickly listen just to the new additions.

Good point @Gaffer13 

Check our ideas forum, @Mr. Fahrenheit I believe there's an idea for that already!

I don’t think asking this when you’re adding songs is a good idea - you don’t have the opportunity to check/listen before you answer. So it makes more sense as a menu item in the playlist menu, after you add them.

In my experience, Deezer automatically removes duplicates when you add them. So the only way you’d have them is when the same song is in different albums.

Yeah, but since often there’s a lot of versions of the same album, you cuold have multiple duplicates of the same song in one list, if you try. I had duplicates in my playlists on multiple occasions. So, a feature like that still could help. Or maybe a box showing up saying: “You already have a song with this name in the playlist. Still add?” or something like that.

Hey, I want to suggest a finding duplicates in playlists feature. Some playlists can grow pretty big and sometimes it’s hard to remember what you’ve already added. So, instead of typing song names in the search bar or scrolling through the list, it would be convinient to have a button that highlights songs that have the same title and artist, so you can quickly select and remove the duplicates from the list, if they’re there.

Thanks for the feedback @Gaffer13 I've also reported this internally before, I totally get you. I'd prefer the title of the song to be accurate too. Let's see if this is something we can fix in the near future! :pray_tone2:

One thing I find a little annoying in the web version is tab title changing to the name of the currently playing song on tabs that aren’t playing the song. So if you opened two more Deezer tabs, e.g. with artists you wanted to check out later, all three tabs will have the same title, but only one tab will have a running player. These days it’s not a big problem because the browser will display the sound icon on the tab that’s actually playing the song. But it’s still a bit confusing, and it’s not like you can just use any tab to control playback - the player will show warnings about not listening from more than one device.

It's currently not on the plans but this week I was missing that button myself - so I agree it makes total sense to have it. Instead, we currently have to access the queue for that @JohnyV3 

So thanks for your feedback, I'll be discussing this further with the teams and will use your comment to leverage a need for this to be looked into :wink:

To be honest I don't know if someone post it before but can we expect a "Share" button on bottom next to "Lyrics", "Add to playlist" etc.?

Oooh, we like these ones @Gaffer13 the small annoyances can perhaps be sorted quickly. Thank you for reporting it and explaining it in detail! :relaxed:

Love the designs @STeeL835 so glad I actually asked you for more detail :heart_eyes:

I've passed this on, thanks a lot! Hopefully it can be made a reality.

Thanks @STeeL835 

Could you please be more specific? What do you think we can improve on?


I see you are tweaking deezer’ appearance little by little, so I think you can improve the layout of this panel too, giving more focus on essential elements like media buttons, seekbar and the main info about the current track. The problem on the screenshot is that it gets many elements in such a way that you can’t see even 1 character of a track name. And the screenshot isn’t even that narrow (though it is minimal width for the app as of now).

Probably, make it responsive by moving/regrouping/hiding elements in popups/menus, reducing paddings as panel gets smaller and smaller.

I’m not a designer, but I tried to make something that would fit more things, just for example. Not insisting on it, but just to show some ideas.

It’s more dense, but has room for track info, volume slider, bigger track cover, bigger seekbar (with less screaming default color), and queue source. Clicking track cover could open the queue panel.
Seekbars here don’t have color only because I chose these whitish covers
