This idea started because I want to listen to songs from the album 'Diamonds in the rough' by Avenged Sevenfold. It is not available to listen to without purchasing it or watching it on video. On Amazon you can buy the whole digital album or on YouTube you can watch the video.
I propose adding the ability to buy these types songs so they can be listened to in Deezer, allow adding them to download, favorites and playlists. I love deezer for lossless music which is why I've chosen it. This would fill a missing gap of music for many people I believe.
+7Hi there, Amazon sells music, but Deezer has a different business model, we are only streaming service. But you still can add your mp3 - https://support.deezer.com/hc/en-gb/articles/115004221605-Uploading-MP3s-to-Deezer

That would be a solution if uploaded MP3 would showed as albums. But you must first fiddle with upload (you can't see if client is uploading or is finished or is doing nothing). And when you are lucky that all songs are in Deezer and you see them (web or desktop app most of the time doesn't show them all, but android does), you must do a Playlist, sort mp3's and add album photo. And when you select artist it doesn't show in discography selection. ...

I will add few things:
I buy music from iTunes for djing, but I still listen to music streaming.
People will still listen to streaming music, but if the listener loves a track / album and he wants to buy this album as a sign of respect or the need to buy this album, he can do it.
At the same time, an interesting thing works, he buys one album or several tracks, but at the same time he continues to pay for streaming and listen to other tracks online. This has been working on iTunes for years.
You can also sell formats such as:
- m4a (aac)
- mp3
- wav / aiff
- dsd
Selling physical media like vinyl can be especially cool.
Merch is a separate profit that can be organized through a deezer.
There are a certain number of music lovers who will want to buy something physical from an artist, be it vinyl, a hat, or stickers.
Arranging the purchase of music will not bankrupt the streamin business model. This can make the system even more flexible, hybrid.
The listener will still not buy 1,000 tracks that he has in his collection.
It would also be a good way to separate the store from the streaming service, that is, even buying an album, this does not affect streaming in any way, the user still has to pay a monthly fee.
If people can buy all these in one place - it looks wonderful! This opens up even more involvement of music lovers in deezer.

+5I agree with Maximizer but disagree with title of the topic. As last comment says, it isn’t a completely different business, because there can be an option to subscribe to Deezer and receive discounts when you buy songs/albums.
Nowadays, some people still prefer buying songs and if you allow them to do that, then, you will receive more money. Money that if you don’t allow buying songs, you won’t have unless those people change their minds.
Astell&Kern Norma SR15 + Sennheiser Momentum M2 AEG + Sennheiser HD 598 + Sony WH-1000XM2 + Sony WF-1000xm4 + own 2249 Hi-Fi/-Res Tracks + Deezer Freemium. Let's play!

Yes, now I buy music in Itunes and very rarely in beatport, but if I can do it in my main streaming service , I will do it.
If I see my favorite artist right by going to their page and I can buy it with one click, or if I see that a track I like is on vinyl, it will also push me to buy it. There are many ways to listen to music, streaming, buying, CD, vinyl, even cassettes, which are now back in fashion, usb.
Maybe someone who is subscribed to a hi-fi premium plan will want to buy a magnetic tape is considered one of the best-sounding media, or someone will want to buy an album in dsd that weighs 10 gigs. Imagine that such a variety takes into account all the desires of people. It's beautiful
+5And don’t forget: if your streaming service closes, you lose your music , because you are renting songs instead of buying .
However, buying isn’t easy at all, because most platforms allow you to buy songs, but these songs are linked to your account. You can’t have them out , for example inside external disk. In that case, if that service closes, you’ll also lose songs.
So you have to find one company that allows you to buy songs and have them everywhere
