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.

    I went from Apple to Linux a few weeks ago. I really liked the app for Mac but I really like Linux up until now. I don't really see a reason to go back to Mac. Since there is no app for Linux I'm stuck to the browser based player which is horrible compared to the deezer apps. At the moment I'm considering changing to Spotify.... Hope they fix this issue soon

      Why do not you have a player for Linux? They could take advantage of this free software idea and support the platform https://github.com/baptistedonaux/deezer-desktop-linux
      This is not longer supported, but this another client (mellow player) promises work good with deezer.

      I created a linux based APP that uses the browser technologies to make an external application .Deezer client.
      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 is already losing the streaming battle. Strong moves like opening the code is the only strategy that would make you special in front of spotify/apple. And if you open the code, the desktop app on linux will be done by the community.

          Greetings!

          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?

          @z0r.pwnd I can give you a reason why it's not working: we don't officially support Fedora yet, sorry about that! As I understand from a bit of research, Fedora is Linux-based, right? (please correct me if I'm wrong) That's why I moved your topic here.
          You can make our developers prioritise the support of Linux by voting for this idea though! 🙂

            +1. I would love to have a linux client but I believe deezer just don't care about linux users since there is no answer from them on this thread yet. Disappointed... 😞

              Native linux client will help premium costumers to use less bandwith, I have only 3mpbs. And also we could use the controls of our keyboards.
              Please think about it
