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

+1 for this.

Please enable an option to quit the application on close.

Incredible that this has not been fixed yet… I might switch back to spotify or something else when my trial ends then :(

Wow 3 years and there is nothing has been done. Amazing!
I just started to use trial version, but it seems I won’t pay for that.
With that kind of support, it's not worth it.
And the lack of ability to just close the player and not look for it in the tray to CLOSE - guys, well, this is really annoying.

The windows standard is absolutely clear: Clicking on close means close. Why does Deezer believes its customers are incapable of understanding the very basics of computer use?

This decision brings no advantage for Deezer but obviously pisses off customers. What’s the problem of at least adding an option?

This is sad. It shadows a lot of good things about your service. Don’t stain it with bad decisions combined with stubbornness.

Thank you.

I do not like this as well. Deezer should exit when I click on the X button on Windows. I don’t want it to minitmize to the system tray. Or at least this should be made configurable, like in any properly designed app.

This is 3 years old now and still not implemented. What makes this worse is that, at least with Deezer Free, I am constantly getting Errors and having to restart the software. I was going to purchase a plan, but not if a basic feature like this is still not in after 3 years!

The fact this still hasn’t been changed after 3 years just shows how much Deezer cares and listens to customers. I’ve used hundreds if not thousands of programs over the years and every single one completely closes the program or has a option to allow me to decide what I want it to do when I press the X. I’d love to meet the person who thought it would be a good idea to ignore the norm and make the x button not completely close the program.
