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:

Hey @Ian Cahill 

I really like your suggestions, they're quite realistic too :relaxed:

We have a couple in discussion at the moment, and we've been developing gapless for a while, maybe we can see it here by Xmas but we're still waiting for more info.

The pause download option is really good too, I'll be forwarding it all to our desktop app teams :thumbsup_tone2:

Hello,

I’d like to have these features:

  1. Scroll playlist/queue to the position of currently playing track (automatically). I often listen to long playlists (whole discographies - several hours long) and sometimes I have to scroll manually.
  2. Show Album name in Queue. Currently there is no info about album name in queue. No column, only cover picture.
  3. Multi-select using Shift + Click and Ctrl + Click (Like in Windows explorer)
  4. Context menu (for example mouse right button) for selected items. When I want to to delete selected tracks from the end of playlist it’s very inconvenient  - I have to scroll to the beginning of playlist

BTW: Sorry for my english. Hope you understand.

Interesting @warpkanal I think we could make the most of the icon, or give the option not to have it, as you said,  so thank you :thumbsup_tone2:

Remember scrolling position (check here) is actually really cool and necessary @katro thank you for your suggestions! Really appreciate them :v_tone2:

Hello

Is it possible to Chromecast from the Deezer Desktop (Mac OS)? If so, how to do it? If not, when will this be possible?

A suggestion is to look at Tidal desktop application for Mac which allows very easily to select the audio output from the app. 

Thank you for your support.

HI ALl, 

Has anyone experiencing high data usage by Deezer? i have desktop and set it to high quality and i download it locally. So not sure why it would use almost 500mb when changing songs????

Thank you for your positive feedback @Fabrice Cinquin 

Not possible yet but still on the plans - I really like your suggestion on audio output. I'm currently handpicking feedback on improvements for the desktop app to our devs, so I'll mention this too :wink:

I would like to have automatic playlists. 

Little bit like itunes. There is a future to make automatic playlists. Depends on different rules.

For example:

Gerne

Liked or disliked songs.

Length from song.

Years.

Etc etc.

 

When I like a song or add to my library it moves automatically to the playlist where he matching the rules..

I have nothing to add. I just want to report that the unofficial Deezer port for Linux (specifically the Arch based distributions) is  great!

Hi All, 

Just a warning that my Deezer app is burning gigs of data when i listen to songs that are supposedly downloaded to my local drive. Its occurring on my both my desktop and laptop. 

It just went through 5gb of data when i was listening over the past hour. this is crazy. It ate through 500GB of data in 3 days. I have a premium capped fiber account which is ran out of data because of the Deezer app. 

This must be a bug.

Is anyone experiencing this issue?
