Deezer hifi is not of much value unless you specifically own an Sonos system or play on computer app. The developers need to get it on iPhone and android apps - would obviously expand the listening possibilities and give Tidal some competition - tidal is good service but the Deezer app is far better. Also. I have my Deezer account Set up on my bose sound touch systems. Would be perfect if it supported the hifi option on these

Two things it does not have is internal Last.fm scrobbling and HD quality on their web player app according to user reports, so it's somehow the same dilemma as with Deezer and Last.fm desktop users like me: either you use their desktop or mobile apps for HD, or you scrobble with their web player via browser extension Web Scrobbler, but not in HD. 😉 There might be mobile scrobbling apps which scrobble Amazon Music Unlimited though, don't know about that.

By the way, there is a "new kid in town":

Amazon Music Introduces Highest Quality Audio for Streaming with Amazon Music HD

Yes, I read it a few days ago. In my case isn't available, although is great to know that Amazon's HD works in Mobile Phones.

Amazon can offer low prices because they earn a lot of money with other business , fundamentally shopping including prime. If Apple goes into HiFi world , they could have also competitive prices for the same reason as Amazon. Selling expensive devices would allow them to do that.

But Deezer only earns money with its streaming service: ads and payment subscriptions.

By the way, thank you for your previous answer !😀

Right, it will be interesting what Apple and YouTube/Google will do next in terms of HiFi/HD/HiRes whatever quality updates, as Spotify already said no, at least their VP. Apple even has its own lossless format ALAC ready, so besides having tons of money they could probably release it very quickly, especially in their "eco system". And they are trying to open up recently having just separated iTunes into three apps and releasing a web player for Apple Music. Similar things happen at Google with plans to merge Google Play Music and YouTube.

I have a custom integration Audio/Video business and I always recommend Deezer for my clients it works great with Control4 system. They love it in the begging until they find out the are paying $20 a month for mp3 320 music quality on IOS. I had 8 clients already switch to Tidel because not only they can play hifi but HIRes MQA audio on their IOS devices and literally everywhere. Deezer needs to implement this as soon as possible I am already started to recommend Tidel instead.

@bluezzbastardzz , have you read how much pay music streaming services to artists? Youtube is the worse, Napster, Tidal pay well, Deezer goes next and behind French company is Spoty.
Also have read an article which said that Deezer changed the way it pays artists. Before , Deezer paid using % of listenings , but now it depends on which artists's songs listen each person , and Deezer gets a part (of course).

Well, i think big things are comming to Deezer. Waiting for a surprise

You can read all about Deezer's plans for a fair streaming payment in this forum announcement. Subscriber can also click on the link to check their personal "payment" for artists they love and all other artists.

Hi there @Rolanddekok

Our catalog on HiFi is now so big that the app will stream in FLAC if the audio settings are set to HiFi. So no need to look specific for FLAC tracks.
If you can't see the HiFi option in Deezer Labs, have a look at our Beta program here ;)

So I’m actually on the hifi plan, I’m on iOS and I’m on the beta and I don’t see the option for hifi in Deezer labs.

is there any way for support to force my account to have the A/B testing of hifi? I want to keep my plan running, but if not I’ll have to come back when it’s fully rolled out to everyone.

Hi there @miketechinc

Thank you for your feedback. I've moved your comment here so that you can support an existing idea.

Hey @Joshua.Villarreal

What version of the Beta do you have? Could you take a screenshot of the Labs bit, please?
