Deezer now has 30 second listening limit on my computer

Hey @kb4196 

In which country do you live? It could be because Deezer no longer offers “Deezer Free” in many countries.

I’m in the UK

OK, that's not the problem. Deezer Free is (still) available in the UK.

Do you perhaps have an active VPN?

Sounds right. https://support.deezer.com/hc/en-gb/articles/115002456825-Deezer-Free

@GropplerZorn

Do you think the US restriction that tracks on “Deezer Free web” only work as 30 second variants has also been rolled out to the UK?

That’s my best guess, yes. 

Unofficially, I feel like deezer free as an option is likely on it’s way out, globally. Tidal has discontinued their free option, and to my knowledge Spotify is the only other provider offering a (remotely) viable free tier.

I don’t care for ads and like my streaming quality to be post-2000 MP3 level, but that’s just me. My deezer monthly sub costs less than a sandwich. If I went free, I would just bust out my CD collection (it’s extensive).

@GropplerZorn 

We are very similar.

it’s actually evil and a bad business plan to make people pay for more than 30 seconds of a song, I know I will no longer be using Deezer

Deezer Free says

> Compatible Devices

> Deezer web player (log in to deezer.com)

> Deezer Free is available in: United States

I am in the United States, signed into deezer.com, and nothing I play lasts more than 30 seconds. This includes content explicitly mentioned in the free plan, such as the Flow playlists. The same is true if I download the desktop app. Is the free plan information inaccurate?

Hi ​@phette23 in the same support article it is mentioned that in the United States, Deezer Free is available on mobile devices only. Desktop users in the US can only play 30-second song previews.
Thanks
