Serious Optimization IssuesNew

Title says it all. Deezer could be the best music platform on the market, but the optimization issues make it a hassle to use. Coming from streaming services like Spotify, Tidal, Apple Music, among others, I found Deezer to have the best algorithm for discovery, music taste, consistency, and overall quality. Here are things that I hope to see in the future:Overall Responsiveness: I love the music quality I get from Deezer, maybe the best on the market. What’s frustrating for me is the buffer and gaps when selecting music in well connected areas with plenty of data roaming between internet and cellular networks. Perhaps it’s due to the high-quality and retention of high-quality music, but at least I would appreciate some communication if this was the case. Other platforms seemed to instantly stream music. One competitor, Qobuz, has arguably high quality music that matches Deezer, but their database seems to instantly stream the song at selection than taking time to load and buffer. While this isn’t a deal-breaker, it’s a small quality of life that I think would be greatly beneficial.  Personal Playlist Hassles: I am someone who makes playlists, maybe too much in fact. Deezer has a problem with creating new playlists when, for example, I try to make a new playlist from a track, and the interface doesn’t save the playlist and go back to the song or homepage. Everytime I hit “save”, there is no indication that anything was saved - same when I try to make a playlist not from a song. This results in multiple of the same playlist being created with 0 tracks.  Right-Click Features: Almost non-existent. I can use the mobile-app of Deezer to hit the 3-dotted elipsis and delete playlists, tracks, queue, and etc. This helps streamline through music and favorites. I figure that the desktop version of Deezer would be easier and more efficient to use, but the lack of right-click features actually makes it harder in my opinion. Why do I have to enter a playlist to select more options on it, such as deleting it? It makes it a huge hassle.  Organization: I really hope we can see playlist folders being created in the future. This is something I used very often and has helped me keep my music organized. I love what Deezer is offering so far, and I hope to stay with the Deezer family for a long time. If these features and updates are seen, I would be the happiest in the world. I know this is from personal experience, but I hope that this feedback is helpful for engineers and designers working on the applications and can greatly improve the Deezer community. *As a designer and process-improvement specialist myself, I would be happy to volunteer my time to help and talk about these even further!

More Community Features on PlaylistsNew

I want to suggest something I think could be a genuine differentiator for Deezer in a crowded streaming market: treating playlist curation as a first-class community feature.Right now, playlist curators on every major platform are essentially working blind. You put time and taste into building something, watch your save count fluctuate, and have no feedback loop to understand why. No comments, no per-track reactions, no way to know what's resonating. It's a weird blind spot given how central community playlists are to keeping people on a platform.The analogy I keep coming back to is radio. Radio hosts built loyal audiences because listeners had a relationship with the curator. They could call in, request songs, say what they liked or didn't. Streaming killed that human layer and I think there's a real opportunity to bring it back in a modern form.A few concrete ideas:- Per-track voting within a playlist context (not just a global like on the song itself, but "does this fit this playlist?")- Community song suggestions with upvote thresholds. Followers can nominate tracks, and curators can set a threshold before they'll even consider it, keeping it signal rather than noise- Playlist-level comments or discussion, separate from individual track comments- Basic curator analytics: who's saving, what's the skip rate on specific tracks, where are people dropping offThe bigger picture is that music curation is itself a creative layer on top of the music. Artists produce the raw material, curators build context and discovery pathways around it. Some playlists on streaming platforms have millions of saves and those curators are driving real engagement and retention, but they have no tools and no stake in the ecosystem.Deezer has historically been more community-minded than the bigger players. I think this is a space where you could genuinely lead rather than follow. Would love to see it explored. I also think we can allow for this feature to be toggled off entirely and set that as the default setting for people who do not want to use this.
