Linux needs a native client for Deezer!

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.

You should check github, gitlab, sourceforge, and other FOS project website once in a while.

Last project updated for a deezer client on Linux that I found on github : https://github.com/aunetx/deezer-linux

The pinned comment on this should be updated to point to https://github.com/aunetx/deezer-linux, as the one in the pinned comment hasn't been updated in years.

An official app for GNU/Linux would be nice. However, remember that the player in browsers like Firefox works very well on GNU/Linux.

I think it's more necessary to be able to make playlists of playlists or folders for playlists.

It's time, the request was made 7 years ago, and an app has already been developed by enthusiasts...

If a app has already been made by third-party enthusiasts, then deezer should just bless that app, pr open up its API, so that third-party developers can create their own apps, similar to how Spotify is.

While I would also like to see a Linux version, this is something I suspect will never happen. I think it is not interesting enough for Deezer to do this. iOS, Android, Mac and Windows remain the most interesting for Deezer.

They still don’t support hifi on androidtv…. so sadly I don’t see this happening either.

They will never do it, just like Adobe will never release Photoshop on Linux and Microsoft will never release “tHe ReAl WoRd” on Linux.

Besides, Deezer apps work bad on other platforms, imagine adding a new one, when the community will do their work for them better: https://github.com/aunetx/deezer-linux.

Honestly I’m also here because my mobile data plan comes with Deezer and well “free” is free.

Hi Zack, Thanks a lot for your feedback. We'll let the developers know and I'll update you as soon as we know more! 🙂

Don't recall what the developers told you? I guess linux users don't expect a native app. At least Electron version, but to have official support.
