Hey @FalconFour thanks for your feedback. We received it like that from the label. I’ll pass the info to our music team, but a redelivery will sound the same most likely. Apologies for the inconvenience Hopefully you can pass the concern along that it’s poorly ripped and needs a re-take… it seems to be a problem with all the songs from that group. Interesting to imagine where the source materials came from, but surely there’s a CD copy floating around they can just re-rip some albums from ;)You get so much crap these days for hinting that you’d prefer a CD over a streaming service, but 👐 here we are 😂
The song “It Must Have Been Love” by Roxette is a truly awful capture both in the Spotify and Deezer catalogs. It sounds like a thoroughly worn-out cassette tape played through a Walkman - at least with good headphones. Not a factor of bitrate; I've got it on HQ and it shows that on the playing screen. The high details are lost, and focusing on them reveals a texture that sounds like cassette tape frequency distortion - more like a low quality tape than a low bitrate MP3.https://deezer.page.link/pDfnjApynSPcqKhs9Compare to this version on YouTube that sounds like what I would expect a good quality capture to sound like: (Yeah, we're going to YouTube for the benchmark of high quality! )I think maybe both Spotify and Deezer both picked up the same Napster MP3 from the studio that released it on digital, and that's how we got here. lol
I just signed up, as I was sold on the UCPS system and trying to move away from Spotify (see: The Dark Side of Spotify). Weighing different services, Amazon (which has an extra music tier to pay for) and YouTube Red (which I already have) paid better on past average studies, but Deezer had more polish and a great onboarding process.I had assumed it would have this feature already in place. Alas… it does not.In particular, I have my Echo Dot connected to my big room speakers to play at any time… so I ask Spotify to send the music to the Echo Dot, and get big sound. It’ll wake up and start belting out music, no words need to be said, just taps in the desktop or Android app.Deezer not only needs me to shout at the Echo (and get it to understand me, often over the noise of an A/C), but … remote control of Alexa doesn’t exist… at all?I don’t get that limitation. It’s Deezer’s developed Alexa skill, isn’t it? I can sorta understand it being a little wacky to try to control across apps, but…
