Mopidy music server https://www.mopidy.com/ is popular app for background music playing like MPD. It have extensions for popular music services like Spotify, Soundcloud, Google play, etc: https://docs.mopidy.com/en/latest/ext/backends/

Also it have Deezer integration extension https://github.com/rusty-dev/mopidy-deezer - but it is written by single volunteer and not so featurefull.

Will be good to provide official extension to Mopidy from Deezer - maybe written from scratch or via collaboration with original developer of current extension - Konstantin rusty-dev Batura.

This is a real shame, I’ve been looking for a streaming service for quite a while and Deezer had the Quality and Quantity I was looking for. However, it seems they’re actively fighting Linux support every step of the way. Both Mopidy & Tizonia worked legitimately with Deezer and now neither do. I Don't want to run Deezers Electron application on my system and even if I wanted to make an alternative it seems as is the official SDK has disappeared too.
 

It’s frustrating as this only seems to affect legitimate customers as there are many apps and tools out there that allow non-paying Deezer users to download and stream music. I’d love to be able to use an “official” CLI interface for Deezer and two WERE available but my only options now are sketchy android tools that jump through hoops to download the music, which I do not want to use...

I do understand that this issue may not be in the hands of the Deezer team but in the hands of the Record Labels and Music companies who are scared of losing their precious revenue and tracking data to third party applications but by making it difficult for a customer who WANTS to pay it's almost like I’m being pushed to sail the seven seas.

Please allow Mopidy, Tizona and other third party Linux tools access to your SDK.
(and if possible it’d be nice if the Native SDK was made re-released)

Same here. Came here to tell that I am now canceling my subscription just due to the fact that I cannot simply integrate this service to my smarthome and multiroom audio system.

getting this topics out of the grave !!!

got my son a deezer account a few month ago, he is addict but that means it also addicted to a smartphone.

and guess what deezer can not be limited by family link on android.

Too bad i can not repurpose my mopidy setup on my raspberry so he can continue to listen to music without having to use his smartphone.

I Guess i will be another churning user for “missing feature”…

too bad, except for those french rap suggestion, algorithm and sound quality was great.
