I think that is important to cover all the platforms for all the users.
I recently created an Ubuntu script to install Deezer based on the fantastic work done by IlyaGulya and SibrenVasse on an AUR package for Arch Linux. It should work on Debian too since Ubuntu is based on Debian, but I haven't tested it.
You can view instructions on how to install it here https://github.com/siphomateke/deezer. It's not at all official and isn't guaranteed to work with future Deezer versions but it's what I am now using.
I'm not sure why Deezer hasn't added support for Linux yet considering the Deezer desktop app for windows is an Electron app and runs just fine on Linux with a few minor tweaks.
Hopefully this helps my fellow Ubuntu users.

When playing a song, it happens that when i take the cursor to somewhere inside the song, the music simply stops and will never play, unless I play another song and replay this one.
thanks

Download it and put where ever you want, then click on the 'deezer-linux-client' launcher. You will see it's like browser, you can login and use this like it's in the browser.

Deezer's player does not load tracks while i m using it with web browser. Although, it works fine from mobile app.
My OS is Fedora 27 and I am using Firefox 59. HTML5 player activated and GStreamer package installed as well.
Can you give me a clue for fixing that?

You can make our developers prioritise the support of Linux by voting for this idea though! 🙂

Overall I don't understand why it still not done. You made Electron app, it incredibly easy to port it on Linux. At least just make build and release it "as is", Linux-nerds already had to solve problems.

Every couple of months I get the urge to re-examine Deezer as an alternative to Spotify Premium.
Every couple of months I discover Linux still isn't supported and go back to my Spotify.
I don't need web, flaky support in some random transient app, flash requirements, half-solutions, explanations or excuses. I just want to be able to consume the full features of the product (including CD-Quality, Sure I'll pay, that's why I keep looking for alternatives to Spotify) on my OS of choice.
TL;DR
No Linux = No subscription
