I know that exist a client for Windows and Mac, but I can't to find any one for Linux. In my opinion the web version es pretty bad and the company can develop a port for their client.
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.

      We're now actively developing an Electron app for Linux - more update in due course :relaxed:

      waiting actively yet to any update..

        How much is Deezer losing every month by not providing a Linux client? I've been following this thread for quite some time, and from the start, resolved to become a paying subscriber as soon as Deezer releases a Linux client (beta or otherwise). I'd probably go with a family account, so that's 18,99 € that they could make every month, but are not.

        While that's not going to rock the boat at Deezer, I'd be interested in knowing what would, and if there are enough people out there to reach such a meaningful figure if a Linux client was available. Any ideas on how us music listeners on Linux could get noticed in terms of sales potential?

          Same here. But they are a business first and foremost. And i supposed their Cost Benefit Analysis didn’t favor the Linux market.

          Guess we’re stuck with Spotify for the foreseeable future.

            Great. 4 years, almost 1 thousand votes, no app. Disappointed.

              I am using deezer-unofficial-player, and apart from Google login not working (manual login works), it looks fine.

              Hey, Deezer! Please, make it for Ubuntu or maybe an official Snap or Flatpak. Now, I’m using https://github.com/aunetx/deezer-linux

                I leave the topic definitely. There aren’t gonna do nothing. At least I have tidal with strawberry since a few months and it’s definitely a lot better

                I was going to renew my yearly subscription next month, but gave up now. I’m tired of switching between different randomly supported versions and browser on linux.

                If a random enthusiast can reverse engineer some part of it, wrap it in a simple electron runtime environment, add some features for linux desktop, but deezer developers can’t do it since few years I’m already done with this...

                  There is something in aur that can do the job.

                   

                  Anyways I prefer strawberry with tidal support. I recommend to all people in Linux. It's awesome, optimized, fu of options.. and lightweight
