If you see a HiFi sticker in the lower left corner of an album cover (check the play queue view on desktop), it is a lossless FLAC file streaming. HQ means MP3 at 320kbps, nothing means SQ, i.e. MP3 at 128kbps e.g. for free users or if you have chosen this audio quality yourself to save space on your mobile app.

Deezer Scrobbling (last.fm)
You should also see new releases relevant to your music taste if you click on the notification bell in the upper right corner of the web player and desktop app. On Fridays I usually have around 20 new albums recommended to me based on my saved favorites, but also new ones from artists which I have not added.
There was a lagging problem with the internal Deezer scrobbling option yesterday, it took several hours to submit and update the scrobbles on your Last.fm profile. It should have fixed itself by now.
It is a known issue with the internal scrobbling option, please see the Deezer Scrobbling FAQ on the Last.fm support forum which also describes a workaround by using the Deezer web player and the Web Scrobbler browser extension or external Android scrobblers instead.
Last week the internal scrobbling option in Deezer was lagging for several hours, see the main thread about scrobbling in this forum. So it is possible that this is the reason why you miss scrobbles. When Deezer caught up the queued scrobbles and submitted them later, they probably did not have the original timestamp anymore, but rather the one when they were submitted to your Last.fm user profile. So you can check your Last.fm library if you can find them anywhere.To avoid problems with the internal Deezer scrobbling, you can also use external scrobbling apps, they are available for Android devices and the web player in a desktop browser.
Did you actually listen to the missing songs, i.e. did you hear them play, or did you mute your phone to just scrobble the album? Sometimes Android phones can do weird things to save battery life like disabling background activity, so that might be a reason. The Deezer Android app seems to be buggy recently, another possible reason. Maybe the shuffle mode is a bad idea for album listening, what happens if you play the tracklist from top to bottom?And as mentioned before, there are a lot of external Android scrobbling apps which you could use instead of the internal Deezer scrobbling option.
I re-checked my (three) tracking protection apps. and found that one of these programs contains an element of adblocking - I must have missed that previously. Fortunately, this app allowed me to disable just the adblocking element and when I did I could once again listen to music on free Deezer. Brilliant! Thanks for checking again, what is the name of the tracking protection app that triggered the adblocker message by Deezer?
“It’s a feature, not a bug!” according to Deezer. 😉 Searching for a track and starting it from the search automatically creates a Mix with similar tracks (shown greyed out on the left side of the track name in the web player and desktop app). This means you cannot add another track yourself to the queue similar to starting Flow. I once created an idea to bring the old behaviour back or at least make it switchable, but no dice.
By the way, if you already have something in your play queue that is not a mix (e.g. the last album you heard), you can add new songs to it.And as far as I know, Spotify HiFi is not available yet.
Have you tried to change the audio quality settings e.g. from HiFi to Better or Standard? And of course your volume slider is set somewhere in the middle or to the right side?
Strange, I have checked my current Windows version 5.30.520, and it works as usual.
As far as I remember, you can highlight all played songs of a mix in the play queue afterwards and save them to a new playlist at once.

As far as I know, lossless streaming is not available via the Deezer API. A lot of external apps and developers would like to use it, but cannot.
By the way, I just learned from this Reddit thread about necessary Tidal improvements that they neither offer gapless playback. I don’t think that’s true. I’ve listened to one opera all the way through and am listening to a second one now. I’m on the 17th track. There are no gaps. This issue affects opera lovers more than anyone, I think. I have to listen to opera on my desktop using Bluestacks Android emulator (download Deezer from inside Bluestacks) to hear gapless play. Good to know, thank you. I linked to the Reddit thread four years ago though, so they might have changed gapless playback in their apps in the meantime. 😉 And the Reddit user did not specify which app he meant.About using an emulator for Android apps on Windows, it should also be possible with the latest Windows 11 version to install the Deezer Android app, at least for US users, as far as I know. I have read that the system requirements for Windows 11 including Android support are higher than for Windows 1
It might be a regional issue, because I can see their complete discography in the web player in Germany, but have to scroll down to ‘”’Weitere Alben”:https://www.deezer.com/de/artist/484045
It means “More albums” which is the section of an artist discography that resides at the bottom below “Featured in” etc. Here is the full screenshot for that section in English:
It might have to do with their new album that will come out next Friday, so Deezer’s catalog team is already preparing the updated discography in the background. See e.g. their album page on Last.fm:Weathervanes — Jason Isbell and The 400 Unit | Last.fmAnd it’s possible that the Deezer mobile apps do not show the “More albums” section at all, only the web player and desktop app.
Forth: You probably have logged into a new account making a spelling error with your username, email address or password, so now you see an empty account instead of your original account.
I second this, my most played list is “Favourites” with over 6000 tracks and I love that. Having said that, what other hi-res service offers more than a 2000 limit, Apple notwithstanding as that service did not exist in Bluesound nor KEF Connect It would've been better if there's a easy way to transfer a playlist to favourites but there's also no option for so I am stuck with a full playlist 😠 You can simply highlight all tracks in a playlist with the checkbox at the top right of the page, then click on the 3-dot menu, then choose “Add to playlist”, then “Favorite songs”. The reason for not expanding the 2k limit to 10k for all playlists is probably system performance, both on Deezer’s servers and on user devices.As for the other question from @BigFKahuna, I don’t know the different playlist limits on Tidal, Qobuz and Amazon, they might be similar to Deezer’s.
Here is a screenshot in German of the option to add highlighted playlist songs to your favorites:
Note that there are real-life FM radio stations available on Deezer, but also virtual track radios or mixes based on similar tracks in the Deezer catalogue. These will of course play at the highest audio quality that your account allows.
As you have probably guessed it by now, I love talking to myself, so I'll bump up this thread once more to come back to my very first recommendation of Wagner’s Ring des Nibelungen conducted by Sir Georg Solti, because Götterdämmerung (the last opera in this cycle) has been released today in a brand-new Remastered 2022 version on all streaming sites, even in HD resolution above CD quality and Dolby Atmos where available: So you can finally listen to about 16 hours of the complete Ring without gaps which sounds like a whole lotta fun, right? 😎 Don’t forget to make sandwiches and also provide enough beverages for the ride. Of course I’ll update my related playlist Decca Sound: The Analogue Years 1954-1980 on Deezer as well.
