Who is the composer? >> Improved labelling of Music

Everyone talks about improving labeling for classical music, but nothing has happened for months and years. Some changes may be complicated, but there is one thing you can do easily: show the composer's name in compilations! If I get the title "Prelude D major" and I can not see if it's a work by Bach, Kittel, Rinck, Chopin or whoever, the information is completely useless to me. It can not be that difficult to solve at least this simple problem. Spotify can do it, why not Deezer?

Worse, there is not even a working search for composer names. For example, when I search for "Franz Tunder", I get tons of pop songs that contain the word "thunder". At some point, individual works by Franz Tunder will appear, but only occasionally and on albums, where the album title contains the composer’s name, but not on albums containing works by different composers. Again, Spotify can do it better: the search for composer names (also rare ones such as Franz Tunder) is usually interpreted correctly, although there is no provision for a specific search for composers.

For people who also or primarily listen to classical music, Deezer is almost unusable - and this, even though relatively unknown composers and works in principle are available. But what's the value if I can not find it, without having researched the corresponding recordings previously in Google?

As a first step: show composer names! If that does not happen very soon, I'll switch to another provider. As a second step: Allow the targeted search for composer names!

Hi there @marpurg 

Thank you for your honest feedback and support. This has been a recurring frustration in our app but we're planning it. I can assure you it hasn't been prioritised for this year, as we have more demanding features coming through. But our product managers and devs are aware of this shortcoming. We've got a dedicated team working on all metadata and we've introduced credits to the tracks. But we know your suggestion is essentially how we'd get this right. The display of songs in our Classical catalogue needs to improve and we'll continue to have this in the pipeline. Thank you for your understanding. 

Classical music requires a well thought out metadata scheme. It cannot just be shoved in the standard pop music format title-artist-album. Most serious classical music listeners have programs that can handle any custom metadata scheme and are used to take full advantage of that while searching. I’m glad to hear that the devs are working on it, but saddened that it took so long and some carpet bombing from a musician to get Deezer started. I hope you make good progress, and, please, make sure search works properly more than that it “looks good.”

Best!
