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:

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:


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.


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.


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.


Good point @Gaffer13 

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

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.


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:


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:


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’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.


Thanks. I’ll pass your feedback to our team.
The official release of the album is on the 8th October, but the label provided 4 songs as a pre-release to all major music streaming services.

 


Do we really need to see this big banners ?

I came to update playlists for Deezer people and again was shocked by these tremendous banners.

What I liked in Google Music it was simple thumbs up and thumbs down.

None of these mainstream services add it since discontinued Google Music. I bet they will discontinue Google Movies as well for YouTube movies. The dislike option is really good, but it should be seen on release. I want not to hear thumbs down song again ever when on release. I can’t see that.

The joke is YouTube Musics have it, but their app is hot garbage I’ve ever seen compared to GM.

I came to update playlists for Deezer people and again was shocked by these tremendous banners.

Looks like they’re designed to scale to full width of the page. Normally the page contains only four “squares” for me, and when it’s the case, the banners don’t look tremendous - they’re as big as two squares. But when I maximize the window, they do look too big. Maybe scaling should be capped at 2x squares, leaving more space around the banners if the screen is more than 4x squares wide.

 

Here’s what I’m getting normally:

This banner is fine, what you see full screen is gross.
