title: Minimizing desktop app to tray.
description: It would be really helpful to have an option to minimize desktop app into system tray instead of keeping it in taskbar.
platform/device: desktop app for Win/Linux.

There have already been a couple of similar suggestions in general topic (like this https://en.deezercommunity.com/troubleshooting-and-tips-4/deezer-beta-desktop-app-all-feedback-bug-reports-tip-and-ideas-suggestions-here-please-1291/index9.html#post28124 or this https://en.deezercommunity.com/troubleshooting-and-tips-4/deezer-beta-desktop-app-all-feedback-bug-reports-tip-and-ideas-suggestions-here-please-1291/index9.html#post27705). So I believe this idea deserves to have its own place to discuss and vote up. 🙂

Please Deezer, kill this fuc*ing feature! If I want to minimaze apps, I'll click on minimaze button. If I want to stop playing I'll close the app.
What a surprise -instead of close deezer It's just minimaze to tray a nothing happened. I hate it! Is there any workaround, how turn off this one?

There should be option to turn off this feature. I agree with jirikovoego, the app should not minimize to tray when close button is clicked. There is no way to close the app fast if you are hurrying.

Hi there @jirikovoego @Cermo

Thanks for the feedback. Sorry you're not happy with this feature. Will pass it on to our desktop app team.

Hi,

any update on the topic ? The app every now and then is suprising me by playing music when I shut down it and disconect my headphones in the office. How long it may take to implement simple if statement in the code so people may choose how the app should behave? One month is enough for me ...

Hey @Cermo

No updates on this yet, but the devs have been informed about it. Updates to the app, including fixes, are planned in advance. So it does take some time as well. Thank you very much for your patience.

I would rather call it fixing bugs, but there is no point for me to argue about it. I can only vote with my cash, which I just did. Hope it will help to improve the app for others. Bye Bye

Sorry to hear that @Cermo. Hopefully we can make this an option soon, then maybe you can give us another chance.

This is still an issue? After 4 years? How?

6 years ago, deezer said that they still hadn’t figured out how to mamke their application close after people pressed ‘close’. To be able to even comment on this, they needed me to tell them my fave artists. ...Which I told them when I got Deezer premium. ...excuse me wtf!? The login-thing, sure. The ‘you need to type your fave artists’ and ‘despite 6+ years, we still haven’t figured out how to actually close the app’ is… worse than spotify. But, hey, I guess those old CDs are gold, nowadays.Really shouldn’t have donated as many of them as I did.
