Mix your friend's music with yours on Shaker

I am thinking of switching back to Spotify already, looking at the latest feature developments it seems that Deezer has no good solutions for retaining the userbase and opted for fast development of basic functionality instead of polishing the existing stuff. Like constantly using a potentially neat service in perpetual beta state all while having no connection with the users of mainstream services.

Mix your friend's music with yours on Shaker

So far I understand that shaker is not really available on desktop (at least in web) and users from different services cannot create a playlist on their own platform. This is frankly underwhelming and shortsighted from the product perspective.For Deezer to attract new users from larger platforms it needs to make it comfortable for users to stay here. Switching streaming platforms is hard because you lose connection with your friends and family. People would feel much more confident in switching if they had a feature that would allow them to collaborate with their circle on other platforms. Implementing collaborative auto-playlists or something like cross-platform share links would eliminate the feeling of separation when switching streaming services. Right now as a Deezer user I feel like “that guy” with whom nobody shares music because everyone is on Spotify and lost a neat collab playlist with my girlfriend who also still uses Spotify. This feature does literally nothing to solve it.

Friday New Releases are a mess

To top it off, I’ve enabled the notifications about new releases from artists I follow, Deezer misses like 50% of them. Just skips the releases randomly. Like how hard can it be to feed us the new stuff from artists we’ve explicitly followed?

New logo: Explanations 💜

YES! It ruined the look of my phone’s home screen in a really terrible way. It looks AWFUL. The old icon worked with any theme, the purple means I can only use themes (wallpapers, icons) with purple in them to match. Like how you imply that your homescreen looked good with those assorted icon shapes and parts of the widget chopped off 😊

Each to their own - if you like the redesign good for you, but Deezer asked for feedback from users about the new look, unfortunately for them it's largely negative  Fair enough, my rant was not intended to invalidate the concerns of people here but rather asking people to chill before posting and not to overblow the issue. Sure someone may dislike the new color scheme and thats perfectly fine, but I’ve been reading the forum for two days already and it sounds like some people are personally and mortally offended by it, and that baffles me.What really sucks tho is that Deezers forum seems to be a in a state where it is barren enough to feel that their staff is not really present here unless to make a news post, yet enough people know about it to come in and complain as soon as something goes wrong. People who are ok with Deezer don’t bother with the forum, why would they if its not really active?

New logo: Explanations 💜

If it was only the logo I could live with it. But the whole interface is botched and does not look professional. I am not a freaking 14 yo Fortnite player. More than twice as old as that and never played Fortnite in my life, and don’t really see any problem with that. In my opinion a grown ass man should not be bothered by likeness to something like that as long as it makes sense design-wise. I do not get this Fortnite reference because I never cared for it and, sincerely and with no offense intended, neither should you if you are not into that game.I get the argument that huge headers waste screen space and it’s painful for users with smaller devices, I give you that. And I heard some reports on removed features but two days into using it I have not missed anything yet (but everyone has their own use case). And for the rest - I like the contrast of dark background and purple, so it does look good for me and I honestly don’t get why people are flipping out so much on something that in

Do you also feel insecure when favoriting tracks and albums because of all the hearts? The things people get mad about lol :D Y’all should’ve seen Spotify pushing a redesign and making the entire UI paradigm into a schizophrenic puke puddle with aggressive customer monetization. Deezer just made a new icon and splashed some colors, and everyone just lost their collective shit about a heart shaped icon like it’s infringing on their big boy energy.

Maybe now we can get at least some update on this request? Deezer staff is basically ignoring the ideas forum.

Guess What...?

I have a few pet peeves like lots of wasted space in headers and a few bugs but I think the redesign is neat, good job on not pulling spotify-grade shittification redesign! ...and man I love purple

Notification Bell not working on Windows Desktop app since September 2023 Update?

Same issue here, Windows 11 and the latest version of the app, the bell works well in the web app version. Even made a gif for you but it fails to upload 🤡Deezer’s desktop app is in a sorry state, it does not seem that they spend any significant resources on developing it yet everyone is too busy to test a single button in their own product.

Gapless playback between tracksLive

Are there any updates on this feature request? What are the priorities on the desktop app development at the moment?I’m using Deezer as a web app to have gapless playback but having it in a proper separate app would be much less clunky. Having this feature on every client but desktop one is strange guys.

@Michael Robert Clench@LewisBoyden  I think you guys are talking about gapless playback, that’s when there’s no transition between the tracks whatsoever (unlike crossfade). Gapless, for some reason and unfortunately, is still not implemented in Deezer desktop client. Seems like it’s not a priority for the developers right now and it sucks, because for me gapless is a piece of core functionality. Stuff like Pink Floyd or BTBAM is not listenable without it. However though, Deezer has gapless playback in iOS and Android clients, as well as in web player. So, to have no gaps between the tracks just go to deezer.com instead of using the lame desktop client and listen from there. You can also install deezer.com as a Progressive Web App and it will basically act as a separate app but in a discreet browser window, and gapless will be working too. I’m currently using Deezer this way and it seems to be working good enough, but still I would like a proper app instead. Here’s the guide how to do i

Making an update for anyone who might encounter this issue - just cancel your Premium subscription if you made it through iOS app (I suspect the same for Android app) and re-subscribe using the website, that’s it! Just to make sure to select the Hi-Fi plan.

Troubles with Tune My Music (fav transfer) and favorites

Alright I think I’ve found a workaround for this but it’s janky as all hells, and should be fixed anyway :)If I perform the same steps with the same track as in the video but use the iOS app instead of web/desktop app, the hearts are placed properly. I had to go and manually heart ~750 tracks but at the end all of them reached my Favorites playlist and albums.But this is a manual approach and automatic import of favorites is still broken.I suspect that there are differences in how API/desktop/web apps interact with your database compared to mobile apps. Hearts work properly when handled through mobile applications but having difficulties in all other cases. Update: yeah scratch this. About 200 tracks added to favs using this method just disappeared from Favorite Tracks after 20 minutes and lost the hearts. Getting super frustrated here.

I made a gif with the example, the quality is horrible due to conversion but you should get the idea. https://i.imgur.com/FOWeWx0.mp4There I imported a single problematic track to a separate playlist and hearted it, but the heart won’t appear in the album and gets duplicated if I like it there.

Troubles with Tune My Music (fav transfer) and favorites

@Yula Hey, spent some time troubleshooting it but no luck.Summarizing the issue: when I import the tracks to Deezer and then “heart” them, the “hearts” for those tracks don’t appear on the tracks’ album page.Example: imported a playlist with “None Shall Pass” track by Aesop Rock. I heart this track. The track appears in the Liked Tracks playlist. Then I open the album with this track, and the same track there has no “heart”. If I press the heart again on the album page, I end up with two identical hearted tracks in my Liked Songs.So while the tracks are identical, their heart value is not shared. The issue affects only specific albums, some tracks are completely fine.It bothers me because when I listen to specific albums I want to see what tracks I liked. I might think “man, this track is bangin’, I should like it” and add it to my liked tracks, and end up with two versions of this track. I think this might be the issue on Deezers’ side, not the issue with your transfer tool. I tried b
