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

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!

Regarding Windows App.

I am currently downloading a few playlists in HIFI ,  this seems to make playing tracks in HIFI  simultaneously quite laggy ,  tracks will stop & start on their own accord , sometimes they won’t play at all .
I’m certain this is an effect of downloading in the background as Deezer app was playing fine until I started downloading.
An option to pause the current downloading session would be most useful.

Just a humble dude , no-one special in life

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...

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:

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.

Would be great to have an option to disable the displaying of a menu bar icon.

Background: this space is pretty previous on macs (as it’s shared with the menubar items of other software) and the current deezer icon is pretty useless for me (I’m using media keys anyways). Besides that it’s a good habit to not bloat that space without user consent (i.e. most software has a config option to toggle visibility of the menu bar icon).

Please add such a configuration option to deezer too.

Hey @hpguru 

I've moved your comments here so that everyone discussing improvements to web or desktop app can like your replies. Super feedback, as always!

We'll be making the web and desktop lighters in the near future, so I'm sure you and others will be pleased :relaxed:

We would if we could @jirikovoego - but because our resources are limited to all features that have been requested, it's hard to give the development hours to build an app from scratch. It's not out of the question, but I can tell you we won't work on that for now - thank you for your kind feedback, it's much appreciated:thumbsup_tone2:

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,

Rudi

Yeah, sure @jeremybonan try it out.

This is the first step into a better desktop app, so your feedback is essential :thumbsup_tone2:

Very positive feedback @jeremybonan, thanks a lot for complementing this thread :thumbsup_tone2:

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:v_tone2:

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 :wink:

Well, the positive side of Electron apps is that they’re easily consistent with the Web version. But that’s also why it makes less sense to use a dedicated app. You might as well use just the browser.

I’d like to increase UI scale, but didn’t find such ability, even via `Ctrl +`. It’s kind of accessibility feature.

Hello @Rudi 

It’s been five months. Did you get update from the dev team?

Best,

Hey J @jeremybonan 

We haven't received an update on this but they're investigating it. We're all set on finishing the big stuff we started last year (increase on favourites' limits, fixing bugs, getting Gapless on desktop) and so the other improvements will be booked in after that. Stay tuned to the community, we'll be updating everyone.

Side note: we're interested in bringing Deezer to Homepod :grin:

The icon of Deezer is a bit larger than other icons, doesn’t follow the MacOS-guidelines. Please shrink it.

It is missing to me the chromecast support from the Mac app, I can do it from my phone but I would like to do it from my computer also.

You mean zooming in and increasing the font size @AlexWayfer?

Accessibility is something we're definitely in need of improving, generally. Will pass the feedback on.

Yep, zooming and font size. I do it with browser version for more comfortable view and navigation.

Amazing, @Pablo Discobar!

Great paint skills haha don't worry. This will get our devs intrigued for sure, I wasn't expecting this much detail - really appreciated :clap_tone2:

Have you tried to increase them in Android settings? Maybe they use global settings??

Three suggestions:

 

  1. The requirement to use checkboxes to select songs in a playlist is horrible. Other apps let you click and drag to select songs, but not Deezer. This desperately needs to change.
  2. Please stop using helper apps to update the desktop app on Mac. I don’t want to enter my password every single time Deezer has an update (which is often).
  3. You already have better cross-device awareness than Apple Music, which is completely dumb to playback on other devices, but the next level would be the ability to play and pause music from one source to another. So if I’m listening on my iPhone and press pause on my desktop, it should pause on my iPhone.

I’ve been using the desktop app and I haven’t noticed any issue about the app and its functions, just need a logo redesing to match windows’ new design.

Hi,

There should be a button somewhere near the player that takes you to what you're playing right now. 

"Plays from..."

Sometimes while playing some playlist I browse the app and can't go back to the playlist I'm on.

The queue is something else... it's not what I meant. 

 

Very important. 

Gloria in excelsis deo❤
