Deezer Vs Speakers

I agree! A Deezer Connect feature to be able to stream to my KEF system would be great. Although Deezer exists within the Kef Connect app, the functionality is just not the same, most notably a limit of I believe 1000 tracks per playlist. I currently Airplay1 (hopefully Deezer does not allow Airplay2 until the loss of data issue is resolved) a Connect feature via WiFi would appear to be more stable with better playback features, most notably the buffer causing a delay in response to actions, and possibly stability over a WiFi network.

get new track faster.New

An artist friend of mine shares his music on most of the streaming platforms, there are services that do this. He did comment that his albums show up on Deezer a day to a week later than other platforms, could it be that you have to give it a few days? Having said that, I have come across a few tracks over the years that might be only on Apple Music, for example, but those seem to be rather obscure and does not happen all that often.

Hi Res vs 24bit 96Khz Formats

A few things to consider. Most of the Qobuz and Tidal catalogues are in CD quality, not HiRes, the ability to stream in a higher resolution stream does not mean you are in fact getting a “higher” quality of music. And as well, that listening experience depends much more on the quality of recording and mastering than it does the stream, compression and so forth. How one streams is a concern as Airplay 1 supports CD quality and Airplay 2 is certainly lossy, thus a lower quality stream. Numerous blind tests show that the vast majority of users with a high resolving sound system still cannot tell the difference between CD and HiRes, when in fact it is the quality of recordings (not streams) that are often giving a better listening experience. My vote would go towards a Deezer Connect option that would control, for example, my KEF wireless system that would allow the highest quality to be achieved without the laggy downside of Airplay 1.

Shuffle All Playlists

It appears on iOS when I select Favourites I can shuffle all playlists when I select the shuffle icon beside the word Favourites, before I actually go in to my Favourite tracks playlist. If that makes sense. Just tried it and it seems to work fine. I am on the latest update of Deezer.

Why is pornographic content made available to children?

My family consists of great grandparents down to grandchildren, I am one of the grand parents. I have different playlists for my listening conditions, in fact they are more heavily curated for the great grandparents than they are for the grandchildren. The playlists I choose might, and likely are, different than what you would choose in your family. But those are our choices, why would I want Deezer to start deciding what I can and cannot play, according to what set of algorithms and rules? Rather than limiting free speech, would it not make more sense to be aware of what happens in your household, and as the song goes...”Teach your Children Well”? The best way to battle disinformation is with proper information rather than the lack thereof.

Deezer HiFi With Hi-Res Quality: 24bit/96kHz or moreReplied by Deezer

Emotionally I support the idea of hi res streams, however in reality the results might be disappointing. Streams via Airplay 2 do not even support CD quality, thankfully Deezer still supports Airplay 1 which streams at CD quality. There is no Deezer Connect to control my KEF LS60’s so that is a no go. The KEF Connect app does not allow for full functionality of the features within Deezer, very frustrating and would more than negate the few streams that go in hi res. A hard wired streamer might support hi res, but is that within the realm of most users? Questions to answer I suppose, before getting in to the hi res realm.

Therefore, higher resolution audio is unnecessary and provides nothing more than the placebo effect.    If that’s true, why would studios etc. work with higher resolutions? Why do higher resolutions even exist? There are better explanations out there, but I believe higher resolutions are beneficial in recording and editing purposes, but not as noticeable when listening. I believe Audio Science Reviews has some good videos on this.

Deezer connect

I could never get Deezer connect to work reliably so I always Airplay to my streamer, thankfully Deezer still supports Airplay 1 so the stream goes lossless. I would look forward to a Deezer Connect that works directly with other systems, such as Kef active powered speakers.

Inconsistent music quality

I assume Deezer always streams at the same quality and what you are hearing is a difference in quality of sound recordings and mastering, Lots of info out there about how this impacts our listening experience far more than hi res vs CD vs Bluetooth, for example.

Don’t You think we should me warn of we reach maximum number of tracks on the playlisy?New

  Hi  @Karolina Charylo When put over 2000 songs on PC Deezer app you get notice : Can’t add this track ,you’ve reached the maximum number of tracks per playlist .   I don’t know how it works on iOS and android . It works just like this on my iOS. I don’t know how songs would be lost? I do wish playlist sizes were larger, both in Deezer but as will in associated apps such as KEF Connect. If I do reach a playlist max I this start a new playlist with similar tracks, I guess a work around might be to be able to shuffle between select playlists if one wants to hear that mix?

How many years are we going to wait to fix Shuffle that is repetitive?

One of the reasons I left Apple Music a few years ago is because I thought their “shuffle” was ineffective as I seemed to hear many of the same tunes repeatedly. I have seen this same complaint about other services as well. Currently I feel my most played playlist seems to be rather random, but it has over 6000 tracks. It would be interesting to know how the shuffle feature actually works, and how our own perceptions affect what we think we are hearing. Would it be difficult to add a feature that does not allow the same track to be played within a specified time frame?

Increase Playlist limit to 10000 songs please!In discussion

Respectfully, I don’t believe it’s helpful to compare Deezer to other services as an excuse not to increase an arbitrary limit. To answer your question, I had larger (5000+ tracks) playlists with Spotify, I don’t see how sound quality is relevant. But I happen to prefer the sound quality of Deezer over that of Spotify, and even more dramatically Sirius/XM. When playing the same release of the same track on those different services I can notice a difference in quality of sound. So for me, that is a factor to consider, in addition to playlist sizes.

Increase Playlist limit to 10000 songs please!In discussion

Adding my two cents. I have a few playlists that act as catch-alls for similar genres so I can slam them on shuffle and listen to songs I consider to be related in that way. Deezer’s auto playlists (flow, mixes, etc) are no good at all in my opinion. I would prefer to have my own large (at least 10,000, although I wonder if these arbitrary limits are necessary at all), personally curated playlists so that I don’t get any unwanted surprises. For those considering transferring from other platforms I can tell you that your playlist will be split into multiple numbered playlists on import, so you won’t lose anything except unavailable tracks. What other platforms allow 10K songs in a playlist, as well as 10K or more songs total, and offer at least CD quality streams?

New logo: Explanations 💜

Not sure if you guys agree with me but posts suggesting other platforms aren’t really helping. If anything, we’re criticizing the major update because we care, we love Deezer and we believe it was the better service.  In my opinion, Deezer was superior to Spotify, Tidal, Apple music and all other streaming services; too bad the last update messed things up not to mention the obnoxious way of handling things by the management/team…. I’m sure they realized they screwed up big time, whether they’re gonna step on their ego and rollback is yet to be determined. Keeping the pressure and constructive criticism is the only way to go. This is certainly one of the more constructive comments in this diatribe of emotional responses, threats and bullying attitudes. For me, I am not really happy with the recent updates. Not yet a deal breaker to leave Deezer, but honestly I do not know what kind of audience is being targeted here, perhaps more of a Spotify crowd? The appearance of the platform is n

Remove Content Limit

Deezer seems to allow 2,000 tracks in most playlists, and 10K in the Favourites playlist. What other CD or better streaming services allow more than this? Great question. Sound quality should have no play into it. Tidal has more in playlist, per album and per artist than deezer. But tidal is capped at 10k tracks as well.  Amazon has no limit from what I have seen, but that is a dumpster fire app.  Apple music supposedly does, I'm not an Apple user so I couldn't say for sure.    However if you go outside of sound quality then YouTube music and Spotify are the other two that go beyond these limits.   I mean, it's just pagination and database markers to track likes. It is hard on the phones database and I remember when Spotify had these limits. I've noticed YouTube music loads chunks in at a time. Where Spotify is hard to detect what it's doing.  But at the end of the day it's possible without bombing performance. And I know Deezer had a great post about them raising the limits.

Does it support AirPlay 2?

My understanding is that Airplay 2 can possibly support lossless, yet in many instances it does not and further will not tell you if it indeed is steaming lossless. That is to say, Airplay 2 “can”, but not necessarily “will”, if that makes sense.

Does it support AirPlay 2?

Hi @BigFKahuna  I have never read anything like this about airplay 2. The specs state that it takes the very sound file in the buffer in various format, bitrate and sampling… and thus can do better that CD quality. But I am interested to read otherwise.  https://darko.audio/2023/10/apple-airplay-isnt-always-lossless-sometimes-its-lossy/If I read this article correctly, I need an app such as Deezer (Airplay 1) to support the transmission of CD quality streams in my iPhone13 to KEF LS60 system.

Does it support AirPlay 2?

It would have been expected in a major release. Version 10 milestone and not AirPlay 2 in sight.  I can live with the new design but best-in-class streaming experience with speakers should be a no brainer for a music app.  If Airplay 2 is world class, should it not be able to support streaming of at least CD quality music? Every indication is that at this point it does not. I prefer to live with the 2 second buffer in Airply 1 until the issue of music quality is resolved in Airplay 2.

Hmmm, I use it all the time when I have people over for meals. As well I have used it in restaurants and bars when I have been allowed to “take over” their music systems (where they usually use Spotify), so I assume it would work?

I have found over the past few months that every time I use Song Catcher I have to swipe up and restart the function to be able to use it again. Frustrating as it adds an extra step but at least it works.

Airplay 1 vs Airplay 2

Hi @BigFKahuna, thank you very much for your feedback. We truly appreciate it. Now, if KEF Connect would ever offer the full functionality of the Deezer app, including expanded playlist size, including 10K favourites…...or for that matter, when Deezer Connect integrates in the KEF ecosystem!

Favourite Tracks Not Shuffling Properly

A few years back one of the reasons I left Apple Music was because the shuffle did not seem to be working, I would hear certain tracks many times and others seemingly never. With over 6,000 tracks in my favourites there are tunes that I have not heard in a long time; is that due to the randomness of the algorithm or does the algorithm prefer newer additions to the playlist? I don’t know, however I am sure that whatever adjustments are made to how the algorithm works will irk someone out there. Maybe a feature that specifies once a track is played it is not selected again for a specified duration? But then I would want this feature to be toggled off/on.

Spotify free better than deezer premium

For me, Deezer streams CD quality which results in a  better sound from my system in my home. As well  Deezer allows 10,000 tracks in the favourites playlist, of which I have currently over 6000 tracks. Those two features are a win for Deezer in my household.
