Deezer in Trinidad and Tobago

don’t worry I plan to write them soon with a proper representation for our country. Our omission does not make sense or sit well with me. 

What is the payment method you all are using?

I use PayPal and when I attempted to trial Deezer HiFi some months ago I could not because the country of my payment method (Trinidad and Tobago) didn’t match the country in Deezer (Jamaica).

I expect I will run into the same issue you both got upon my renewal date.

Tried Paypal and normal card, and I couldn’t get to renew for nothing.

Haven’t tried back this month (money was shallow), so hoping November will treat me kindly.

I was using my usual credit card. As I mentioned I was using this service for several years without issue then they just rejected my payment this month out of nowhere. 

Just as a precaution I signed up for Spotify. I still have to transfer over my playlists.

Spotify does not have their family plan available in Trinidad and Tobago though. I use this plan from Deezer to have multiple profiles.

I hope Deezer can sort this out @Jaime. so that I can stay here.

1 month later after switching to Spotify I am happy to report that I am doing just fine. So Deezer’s loss.

I will say there are really only three thing i miss.

1. Deezer Flow. Spotify does not have an equivalent (Apple Music does BTW - I don’t use Apple because I don’t like how they integrate with the Sonos music system). I liked Flow as that continuously playing station based on my preferences. It was not perfect, but I liked it. But this is not a deal breaker. Spotify has a number of Daily mixes which are meant to give you long playing options based on the many dimensions of your taste.
2. Spotify does not yet have a Hifi option like Deezer. I subscribed to Deezer Hifi. On the bright side it should be coming soon. Also, to be honest I am pretty sure I would not be able to pass a test to distinguish between Hifi and Mp3. But I still liked knowing I had Hifi. Because this is largely psychological it again is not a deal breaker.
3. Finally, I believe on Deezer I could have played multiple streams at the same time. Pretty sure about that. Spotify is quite strict about that. Within 20 seconds of starting a stream somewhere else the first stream will stop. I understand why they would do this -as you can find multiple persons sharing accounts. They do have a family plan but it’s not available in Trinidad & Tobago. Again not a major issue because I hardly ever need to have two streams running at the same time. My wife uses Apple Music and she is happy with that.

In the end Spotify has been quite a worthy replacement. Decent user interface. They are much better on Playlists and Podcasts. There isn’t a big difference among the catalogues of the major services. So I can pretty much still find whatever I need to listen to. Honestly I am a happy camper still so goodbye Deezer.

May see you soon if you decide to serve Trinidad & Tobago again. Or maybe not - I might become way to settled to bother to change again.

This has also happened to me. After many years of use. 

Does that mean you've lost your deezer Playlist or can you copy it across?

Actually there are online services that allow you to transfer your playlists from one service to another. I started to use one but realized that you can only transfer I think 100 songs before you are required to pay - not sure if it was a monthly subscription or a one off fee. More likely the latter. When I got to the hundred song limit I just never bothered to pay. I did not have a whole lot of Deezer playlists so was not a major issue for me. 

Thank BushB, appreciate that info. Have a great day
