Hi everyone,I wanted to share a feature idea that could make the listening experience on Deezer even more engaging, especially for users who enjoy interactive content alongside music.What if Deezer introduced a light, in-app word game feature, similar to puzzle-style games like Letter Boxed, where users could play quick word challenges while listening to music? For example:Daily word puzzles themed around song titles or artist names Challenges where you connect letters to form words inspired by lyrics Leaderboards or streaks tied to listening habitsI think this could be a fun way to combine music discovery with gameplay, especially for users who enjoy both puzzles and playlists. It might also help with engagement by giving users something interactive to do while listening.Of course, it would need to stay simple and optional so it doesn’t distract from the core music experience.

Hi everyone,I wanted to share a fun feature idea that could make music discovery on Deezer even more engaging.What if Deezer introduced a daily “Letter Boxed”-style word game, but built around music?

Hi everyone 🎧I’ve been using Deezer for a while now, and one thing I really enjoy is discovering new music—but I feel like I’m probably not using all the features to their full potential.Right now, I mostly rely on Flow and a few curated playlists, but sometimes it feels like I keep getting similar recommendations. I’m curious how others here explore new artists and genres on Deezer.For example:Do you mainly use Flow, or do you prefer searching manually? Are there any hidden features or playlists that helped you discover great music? Do you follow specific curators or rely on algorithm-based suggestions?I’m especially interested in finding music outside my usual taste, so any tips for breaking out of the “same recommendations loop” would be really helpful.Looking forward to hearing how you all discover new tracks and artists 🙌

I am a songwriter/lyricist and a poet and use AI to produce music without shame or artificial embarrassment your flagging system seems to imply to impose by exposing. I do sing, beautifully ugly, but I'm not a musician nor can I afford to pay strangers who are no more connected to me than AI is to create music for me or record with in person. I put out an album of songs I used AI to produce that are 100% my words and my story and a very personal one. AI allowed me to do this with the amount of money I can actually afford. One day I hope I will have professional recordings to upload but for publishing purposes, to protect and copyright my songs, I went ahead with the AI assisted songs because I may never be heard otherwise. The problem I have with this new AI flagging system is that apparently none of my songs on Deezer show songwriter credits and claim that my songs are completely AI generated. My sister put me up on this. I don't worry about being flagged for using AI to produce th
