Linux needs a native client for Deezer!

The community did much more than deezer itself.

Now I received an offer to buy deezer for whole year instead of monthly payments, but I really doubt they will introduce native linux app next year...

I use https://github.com/siphomateke/deezer as a Linux client on POP OS (Ubuntu based)

So far everything ok, but I cant seem to get that it would use Deezer icon in Dock.

Does it work for others?

I have tried looking at various files like deezer.desktop and /usr/share/icons folder

Hello everyone!

I packaged the app for flatpak, and so it should be a lot easier for people who do not want to download and update the app themselve. You can find it here, downloading the flatpakref should open your software manager and prompt you to install automatically.

My github repo also contains very simple instructions to create packages for debian/ubuntu/pop_os, fedora/centos/rpm based distros, appimage, snap… All the instructions are in the readme, and please open an issue if you need anything!

Aunetx, thank you for taking the time to do something to help address what has been one of Deezer's top user requests for as long as I've been a user. Much appreciated. 

mpris support is broken on the last version of deezer, i’m coming back to spotify and cancelling my family account since there is no linux version yet and in addition the version I have been using is “ broken”

Sorry, i couldn’t wait more so.. i m leaving, sad that the deezer team has not released the version of linux yet

I’d would pay to use deezer on my linux system. I don’t like spotify but i’m stuck with it.

@Alblinux MPRIS support seems to work again on the latest flatpak update I just pushed to https://github.com/aunetx/deezer-linux

Soooo, maybe we’ll get it as a New Year gift then?

Don't count on it - Deezer appears to be reducing the number of platforms it supports, not increasing them. At this point I think the best we can hope for is a web interface addon / widget that supports the use of keyboard controls (play, pause, next track, etc...). 

I guess this month is the last for me on deezer. We've been waiting for too long for a linux client. I can't believe I have to go back to spotify. Congratz Deezer.
