Summary of our year / statisticsLive

[quote=dhallag]if deezer had Last.FM scrobbing feature, that is the easiest as all those statistics can come from last.fm. it's actually really cool.[/quote] Deezer already has an internal scrobbling option which you can enable on the Alerts & Sharing tab in their web player: https://www.deezer.com/account/share Sometimes this does not work, but usually it gets fixed by Deezer, and your old scrobbles during the timeout might even get added as well afterwards. At the moment it works fine, e.g. I am scrobbling with the new desktop app, as this internal solution connects both accounts via API, so it works in all Deezer apps. If you use Deezer's web player, there is another option with the browser extension [url=https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/lastfm-scrobbler/hhinaapppaileiechjoiifaancjggfjm]Last.fm web scrobbler[/url] available for Chrome, Opera and Firefox.

Scrobble Last.fm from Deezer not working

[quote=yasminviana]It’s not scrobbling on iOS even with the last.fm account linked[/quote] Did you check that in the web player settings? https://www.deezer.com/account/share Perhaps you are using an external browser extension as well which will scrobble the web player only, but not the other apps.

Scrobble tracks properly to/Improvements to Last.fm integrationIn discussion

It looks like the Deezer API does not provide information about the currently playing track, so it may not be possible to use the related Last.fm API request for showing "Scrobbling now" in the Recent Tracks list of your Last.fm profile. See this new idea of providing an API endpoint for this and vote for it: https://en.deezercommunity.com/ideas/373 Other than that I am quite happy with the reliability of Deezer's internal scrobbling, as it constantly submits scrobbles since the last hiccup in the new desktop app. Furthermore it seems to cache offline scrobbles during these hiccups, because the missing ones were added to my Last.fm profile afterwards.

Long-time Spotify Premium user - why should I move to Deezer?

About 53mio songs in complete catalogue, but "only" 36mio songs in FLAC, so not everything streams at HiFi quality. That is why an indicator for the current audio quality of a track in the desktop app would be good. You can vote for a [url=https://en.deezercommunity.com/got-an-idea-9/what-quality-the-current-track-is-being-played-at-19288]related suggestion[/url] in the Ideas section of this forum. I don't know if competitors like Tidal or Qobuz even publish their number of available songs in FLAC though. Spotify ran an internal test about a year ago asking users how much they would pay for a monthly HiFi offer, but nothing happened afterwards, except for closing the [url=https://community.spotify.com/t5/Closed-Ideas/Music-Local-FLAC-Playback/idi-p/124168]existing idea of FLAC support for local file playback in their desktop app[/url] (not for FLAC streaming which is still one of their [url=https://community.spotify.com/t5/Live-Ideas/Music-HiFi-Quality-Lossless-Streaming-16bit-44-1k

Thank you, I just found another Deezer advantage over Spotify: lyrics in karaoke style shown for available songs in the web player and desktop app, don't know if they also work in mobile apps. Spotify offers this as a test rollout in some Asian countries, but not worldwide anymore since they had cancelled it years ago.

Mix of one selected artist and the current mix.Not for now

If you click on the Top Songs tab of any artist profile, there will be a list of about 100 songs only from that artist that you can also shuffle. If you click on the blue Mix play button on an artist profile, you will get a Similar Artists radio, i.e. with other artists in between.

It depends how many tracks the artist has released yet, about 100 can be all of his repertoire or maybe not.

â–¶ REPORT HERE: Error in a track/song/albumreport

What is the best/official/preferred/fastest way to report broken tracks, this thread or a support form? I have found one in Solti's recording of Mahler's Symphony No. 8, it is the first track of the second part which does not start at all, gives me an error popup right away. Interestingly this only happens in HiFi mode, with audio quality at 320kbps MP3 the track plays fine, so only the FLAC file seems to be broken: https://www.deezer.com/track/2147894 All other tracks on that album play fine in HiFi mode in the desktop app. Another one is Peter Gabriel's "Of These, Hope" from the "Passion" soundtrack, same problem with HiFi version stopping in the middle with an error message vs. 320kbps playing flawlessly : https://www.deezer.com/track/541118432

[FEEDBACK] What do you think of "Flow"?

[user=114810]S t e r e o[/user] : You should have more than one Flow station on your home page, maybe they are missing yet, because you are a new user. Normally you will have the original Flow, three "Inspired by..." stations which sort of aim at genres and a Discover playlist which is updated weekly with new and old releases you may not know, but like. Concerning Similar Tracks Radio stations, it seems that they already exist in the Android beta version, as one Reddit user reported recently.

Deezer should recommend HiFi quality tracks on an own playlistLive

Thank you, @Rafael. This weekend I found the time and motivation for comparing Deezer's lower quality settings with HiFi in another related thread about Airplay:https://en.deezercommunity.com/other-devices-49/deezer-hifi-over-apple-airplay-desktop-app-4-0-5-13-is-not-lossless-to-my-ears-comparison-test-24461#post67632

[FEEDBACK] What do you think of "Flow"?

Actually I like randomised mixes including classical music and some loud rock or pop song afterwards, but that is just me. ;-) But there is a volume normalisation option in the audio settings popup menu in the lower right corner of the player bar, did you already try out if that one helps? If not, you might use the one available in your OS sound card settings like on Windows 10.

FLAC files uploadNot for now

Interesting, so whatever audio software Deezer uses for managing file uploads, it can also read FLAC ID tags, probably an open source app then.

FLAC files uploadNot for now

By the way, the Spotify desktop app can play local M4A files with lossless ALAC content when installed on a Windows 10 PC, because the OS has a decoder for it. So that would be an alternative solution for people with a large lossless music files collection who want to mix local and streaming files in a playlist for example or simply don't want to use several media players for different purposes on their computer.

FLAC files uploadNot for now

Knowing all options before making a choice is always a good idea, that is why I mentioned playing local ALAC files in Spotify's desktop app, because not many seem to know about this possibility, e.g. Spotify who don't want to support playing of local FLAC files in their app - without mentioning the ALAC option. :wink: Talking about options, playing local M4A files in Spotify also scrobbles to Last.fm which might be interesting for some users as well.

OK, if you want HiFi streaming with a mobile device, Tidal probably is the best option now. I read differing opinions about them enabling gapless playback then on Reddit, some say it doesn't work, some say it does. Regarding maximum audio streaming quality with your own uploaded music files Deezer at least allows 320kbps MP3 the last time I checked. When they introduced this feature back then, there was a limit at 192kbps MP3, I think. And when I started this thread, Amazon and Google Play Music still had a free file upload option which is gone by now, too, as far as I know.
