Option to Not Minimize/Close to System Tray

Now that Dark Mode is finally available in the desktop app, I have been using the exclusively on my desktops instead of visiting the website.

I would like the option for the app to actually quit when I close it, and not continue running in the system tray. It is a major annoyance when I close the app and the music keeps playing. As if I were working on a Mac where an application that is closed is never really closed until you force quit it from the dock.

I have seen a few older threads requesting the opposite - that the app minimize/close to the system tray. I can understand how that would be preferable for some, but I prefer to exit apps completely when I quit them and not have to take the additional step of expanding the system tray to quit the application.

Can a setting can be included to let subscribers choose the behavior when closing the app?

Thank you

Any update? This thread is as old as 12 months and the request seems fairly simple. There are probably different opinions on this, but thing is, leaving no options to configure this will continue to be problematic from a UX perspective for many. So appreciate if any ETA can be given, thanks.

PS: I personally expect that Deezer Desktop app by default exits when the X is pressed. Minimizing to tray or tray icons section should be configurable.

Is there any progress? This is really annoying, unable to close the app with the standard way.

I’m on a trial right now looking for alternatives to my previous music streaming service. This thread alone is probably enough to make me not continue after the trial ends.

2 year old issue of a simple convenience option
Prioritized into your teams backlog over a year ago
Still not implemented?

If you’ve added the behavior in a recent change, then it should be extremely simple for a dev to add a toggle. Is your team intentionally ignoring this one to have users keep the app open in the background?

I, too, am trialling Deezer right now, and this really really simple request not being answered is making me not want to continue using it. I suppose I’ll switch back to Spotify if we can’t get a better UI here.

Good Grief,

Does the Deezer development team look at this page. I have to guess no, since this problem has been around 3 years!

Like others I am trying Deezer out on the free 1 month trial but am unlikely to continue when I see this quite ‘annoying’ feature of needing to open my system tray to quit Deezer.

I guess they are not interested in Desktop Windows users…..Of course it’s the mobile App or nothing…..Really dodgy Deezer!

Wow! Next week it’ll be three years since this issue/demand/topic has been reported.

Deezer employees answer few times about fix in a while.

So, we are still waiting 🤪
