352.8 khz and MQA titles on Deezer.

What I find wrong in all of this, is that the official Deezer representatives don’t have any idea about what’s going on. It’s like their developer side and, worse yet, planning side, is a black box that is completely out of their reach. You’d think that Rudi and Jamie would be the first to know and announce that but no, it’s the users.Not blaming Rudi or Jamie, of course, but it does makes one wonder exactly why Deezer chose such a weird totally non-transparent multi-layered development and management model. What elusive purpose does that serve… Maybe just trying to outdo Apple in the secrecy department.

352.8 khz and MQA titles on Deezer.

Hmm… so it’s only available on mobile devices with certain DACs connected to them? I don’t see this functionality on a desktop, and even if the files were indeed different from our standard FLACs that would necessitate bit and resolution mode switching from Deezer app itself, which it doesn’t do. Does that mean that mobile apps have a different way to pass the audio, bypassing the native decoders and just dumping the stream over to the DAC which would automagically select the correct mode for playback? Hmm…All in all I would prefer either more hi-res (but still standard) FLACs and/or DSD. Both are open-source, standard, lossless, and perform quite well. Along with mode switching for whatever audio hardware you’re using. The concept works quite well in Swinsian app on macos: https://swinsian.com

Linux needs a native client for Deezer!Replied by Deezer

All right, davidbailey00 script is definitely a no go. On Xubuntu it builds successfully but it’s impossible to actually use the app at all: a message saying “you’re in” is all there is in the Deezer’s window. It tries to open a browser to authenticate but fails with an error. siphomateke’s script works and there’s FLAC support in Xubuntu.What happened to editing messages by the way?

Linux needs a native client for Deezer!Replied by Deezer

I managed to get FLAC on Arch/Manjaro, but not on Fedora using siphomateke’s build script. davidbailey00’s script builds a deb which after conversion to rpm fails to install on Fedora due to a conflicting core OS package (filesystem).

Has anyone been able to bring up FLAC/HiFi mode on this thing? I’m not seeing this as an option.

Sync currently playing songs between Spotify and DeezerNot for now

Doesn’t work for me because the transferred/synced playlists don’t maintain dates and I’d like to keep a history of when exactly I added a particular track not least because of the play order. They get messed up after the dates are gone.

Let’s vote and see if it works maybe? That’s why we live in an age of advanced democracy, or so they say...

Don’t forget that frefre also asked for linking label names to label catalogues, much like we can click on an artist name to go to their page, we should also be able to click on label name to go inside their catalogue.

HiFi compatibility on all devices.Live

As long as comments count as well as votes... this is an important thing for me as well. With the availability of small hi-fi DACs that can easily be plugged into mobile devices, this feature would be really awesome to have. I'm one of those who can easily hear the difference even between 320kbps MP3 and FLACs, on some of "airier" songs with lots of details. So it's frustrating to go from your home FLACs to the phone's sub-par MP3s on a Hi-Fi subscription. Lower quality does work on the go of course, when there's lots of noise around you probably won't hear the difference, and yet it's not the reason not to have highest available quality on mobile devices.

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

No it doesn't need to be unpredictable. It must "flow" though, so if it absolutely must go from Chihei Hatakeyama to Krewella, it must take at least 15 tracks, not in an instant. But the point was that it must flow with [i]my current mood[/i], not the other way around. The mixes are all premixed and I don't want to listen to somebody else's idea of 'quiet music' which only rarely changes.

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

Flow could be good but it's [list] [*]unpredictable (can't know what genre it's going to pick next) [*]uncontrollable (I may not want loud music in the evenings for example) [*]basically the only way to discover new music which makes people upset since everyone would expect Flow to do [i]everything.[/i] [/list] I personally would like Deezer to seriously expand on recommendations and at least get up to par with Spotify in that regard which has multitude of various options. At the moment those recommendations are non-existent, we basically have to hunt for new music elsewhere. After we're finished with exploring recommended albums, playlists, etc, we can let Flow do its thing, but not before.

Dark/Night ModeLive

The newly updated macos desktop app look in insulting in its whiteness! There used to be at least a patch of calamity now it's brighter than a galaxy center. Come on, guys, the current OS version on a Mac is Mojave and you know what one of its most prominent features is.

Dark/Night ModeLive

[quote][i]It requires quite a bit of technical work which is why we can't give you an approximate ETA just yet.[/i][/quote] Not really! It's actually semi-easy to hack by going into the main Deezer app file (/Applications/Deezer.app/Resources/app.asar) and search-replacing all #FFF to any other color, such as #333 for instance and replacing #000 with #DDD. It does break several things visually because you really need to make the whole thing look good, not just replace white with black and vice versa, and every new update will overwrite the changes. There's no separate style file with the app which is a shame, I bet some creative people amongst us would've come up with a proper stylesheet already. The asar file can be unpacked but it has a ton of styles that are impossible to change by hand.

Linux needs a native client for Deezer!Replied by Deezer

Indeed it does. That doesn't make you less garbage to them. There is a multitude of issues that Spotify refuses to even talk about. For example, when they removed messaging there was a forum thread well over 200 pages and they simply ignored all of it. When someone submitted that as an idea, Spotify quietly removed it. After doing "maintenance" on the forums the number of pages in that thread accidentally shrank to 63. So... yeah. They do have Linux client which works fine.

Don't worry guys, you're just as garbage to Spotify as you are to Deezer. Speaking from experience. I'd like to see a Linux version as well. Don't know what's holding them, really, since their Mac app is merely a web page complete with CSS styles and javascripts repacked into an app with a FLAC decoding function built in. They haven't invested in their desktop app to make it a first class Mac citizen. Hell, they cannot even be bothered to provide better styles for that huge web page. Many people have been asking for dark mode for some time and got nothing.

How can I disable recommendations based on country (local suggestions)?

Absolutely! They shouldn't tie your registration country to the region from which you'd like to receive music recommendations (and the music catalogue as well). Bugs me too every time.
