external drive to download instead of SSD on Deezer?

The streaming sound is not good enough for a highend amplifier and speakers. I guess the problem is Jitter. The downloads though are of excellent quality. I have an iMac with only 256Gb internal SSD. Little space left (110Gb) for downloading lots of songs of my Deezer HiFi app That means about 200 CD’s max. That’s too little for me. If it would be possible to change the download location (I know it's not accesible by myself but only by Deezer itself) to my external drive would solve the problem. Unfortunately I heard from the Deezer helpdesk: “All the Deezer information goes to the SSD as you cannot move songs/data to external devices unfortunately”

 

My request/idea: can Deezer add the external drive as an alternative to download as much as wanted?

Hey @hanspeeters52 

Thanks for the suggestion. Please register your vote here:

This is something we're likely to consider in the future because of the major updates we've got planned for the desktop app :relaxed:

Is it possible to send downloaded songs to a external drive 7/20/22 ?

Hello @BK14Fox 

As Deezer is a streaming music app, you can only download your music directly to the app. If you are using a mobile device/tablet, the downloaded music will be stored on the app on the device and if you are using the Deezer desktop app, the downloaded music will get to the app on the PC/Mac,

Thanks :)
