Not for now

Please give PC users the option to re-locate/change storage location for downloaded music.

It’s really quite simple. I think that a PC (or any user really) should have the option to set the storage location for downloaded music to a folder of their choosing on a drive of their choosing.

 

The reason being many PC users have relatively small Solid state drives that are mainly used for OS/Games for quick load times. We typically like to keep those SSDs clean and clutter free, storing music, photos and other things of a simple non software nature on a separate drive like a large external drive.

 

As it stands, Deezer forces all the downloaded music onto my main Drive, as in the one with my OS and games on it...there is no option to set a different location and I think that would be a pretty solid addition for PC user especially. To clarify, I’m not looking for a way to decrypt the music, or play it through a different media player or anything like that. I don’t care if I don’t even have access to the actual folder as long as I can decided WHERE the folder will occupy it’s space...namely, set storage to my external drive.

Thank You.

    This is a feature I’d really like

    I’d like this feature, too.

    I’d like to add that this feature wouldn’t just help users, it would reduce the load on Deezer’s servers. I have about a thousand songs in my liked list, I want to listen to them lossless but I don’t want to download them to my SSD. So the easiest option for me would be to hit your servers constantly for lossless streaming.

    Since I’m not comfortable with that, I’m going to use the symlink workaround. But most users aren’t going to do that, they’re just going to keep streaming.

    Also the fact you have to download a whole album and you can’t download a single song is equally annoying. Especially with longer albums.
