Linux needs a native client for Deezer!

It looks like the Mac and MS Windows native apps both use the same html5 based gui with something extra to handle drm and audio playback. Just adding the ability to playback audio using PulseAudio should be all that is needed to get the same software running on a Linux desktop. Many people interested in hifi audio are using Linux to achieve this. Many of these people, willing to upgrade their account to hifi, are not willing to purchase overpriced SimAudio Moon equipment, or use crappy Sonos hardware. If Deezer wants to take hifi serious it should prioritize a native Linux app above supporting obscure hardware...

You can install MellowPlayer on linux and this works nicely with Deezer:

The default is not compiled with proprietary codecs (and I could not find how to do so), and I don't want to use flash because of obvious reasons.
Well, I'm using ArchLinux, MellowPlayer from the AUR has got Deezer support, I use it almost every day without a problem.

From what I've seen in the documentation, while the AppImage hasn't the proprietary codecs, there is a workaround/fix for the official releases from the distros.

But still, we shouldn't need to use third-party players, a native client would be better, with offline support and such features

Bumping for interest. Better than a standalone player would be plugins to the most popular linux music players such as rhythmbox and amarok.

It shouldn't be an issue to port the new windows and mac app to linux.

Regarding MellowPlayer suggestion, it is clearly not an option:

• not a player, it's a customized browser
• with a huge overhead
• it needs Macromedia Flash to play audio (not kidding)
• doesn't do highdpi
• doesn't support Deezer HIFI

Yes, please, this would be really nice. And don't forget to support useful Linux features like mpris2 control over dbus so it's trivial to interface remote control via command line, etc...

Deezer stuff, your service is excellent, but please respect your customers choice of OS. Please create a native Linux client with lossless support so that we can enjoy what we pay for, without the hassle of Windows/OSX. It shouldn't be that hard if Spotify could do it since the early days...

I wouldn't prefer an electronic app or something I know have a gnome app cause Opera doesn't always function with HTML5 for some reason. It worked when I complaint about it for like a couple weeks then back to flash. Flash should have died in the 00's. Honestly if you can make it for mac you can make it for Linux and it wouldn't be too much work. The API is avaible though. Intergration with gnome/kde would be nice.

Hi,

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
Nathaniel

I am on chrome under Ubuntu Debian 64
What means Deezer version installed? I am using it from the website!

Thank you
Nathaniel
