It's 2018, strike that, 2019. Someone please give me a technical answer on why the hell I can't set my country manually. I don't mean saying this is the process, cause it's not enough. I just do not want to see any songs from my current country. That simple. Somewhere, there is a string of data that needs me to un-, then re-subscribe to get it changed? Really? I'm from Hungary, and I really don't enjoy Hungarian music. Is there any way i can filter it out at least? Or do I have to fly to the states and subscribe from there to get my current, awful suggestions gone? Awesome service 5/7.

Edit: I understand that different countries give me different music catalogues, and subscription prices. Let me choose one, and I'll gladly shell out the money for it. Or at least let me filter out country specific recommendations, like a sort of "deezer international mode".
You have to cancel your current account and subscribe again from the country of origin. the country is set automatically, depends on of your ip.
Btw - Deezer guys - this is really strange way how to bill your customers - especially in the modern days when we travel around the whole globe, so my IP address can be different every month, so I could basically just every month get a different subscription fee, until I would find a country with the lowest fee... and believe me I travel a lot.

Just for inspiration - e.g. Adobe where I also have an account, connects customer's account to the country where is the billing address for the payment card which is used for paying the bill (also PayPal accounts have linked country). By switching the account localization from IP location to payment card's billing address, this way your end-users would get more accurate content, than when their account is linked it to their IP address... you would get more satisfied customers... just saying...

That's terrible, some people want worldwide content. I was willing to try Deezer, but if I'm stuck to my country's productions in many aspects, like podcasts, there's no use for me.
Deezer seems to have got a lot of things right, much better than other services. But this is not one of them, and it is critical for, I imagine, a good chunk of users.
I hope you adjust this in the future.
As there are a couple questions about changing the language of recommended Music, I am still not satisfied with the Answer that the Dezzersystem automaticly creates Recommendations accourding to the country it thinks you are in.

For Example, I made my account in Germany, but would like to hear Podcasts in English. Since i already know why i get German recommendations and cant seem to find a way of changing it in the settings of deezer (Googleing diddnt help either) my Question is:

Is there a way of changing those said "countrysettings"?
And is it possible to at least Search for Podcasts in different Languages?

Thank you for your help!
Hi there @Eva.Zeman


I get your frustration. As you've subscribed from Czech Republic, the ip address was recognised and your account is set to that country.

If now you live in the Netherlands and wants the account to be charged in EUR and also listen to your local music (not Czech) you need to wait for the subscription to finish/cancel and resubscribe again from where you live now - NL.

Give it a go and let me know if you still need any help ;)

Hi Rudi,
thanks for your help, so my subscription ends in 3 days, and then I'll subscribe again.
Still - it amazes me that there is no easier way how to do this.
But thank you!

Hi there @strangedata

Thank you very much for your feedback. We're currently working on a different UX where the content from the app is better suited. So your feedback is very important - happy to pass it on.
Are you suggesting that I delete my account, losing my favorite tracks, losing my payment? And is this a good service?

Hi @Mohamad Salama yes, you will need a valid payment method registered in the country you want to switch to. I am afraid you are right, if you switch country you will also get the popular music in that country, too.
@Flo.Deezer thanks for you reply. Guess I have to keep everything as it is and hope that algorithm is changed somehow 🙂. Still my fav music app though.

Cheers.

Hello there...I am a member of Deezer for 5 years now I what I really miss is to get more relavant playlists and music suggestion on home page...because the fact is that I am completely not interested in what you give me as a suggestions...they even are not in my language...please do sth so everything will be more personalised...otherwise I believe people will go to someone who will give them what they wish...

Hi @Rowan.Lugg the payment for Deezer Premium USA did not go through / got cancelled. You continue to have Deezer Premium United Kingdom.

Please let me know whether you wanted to change the country of your Deezer subscription 🙂

Dubai, UAE.

Ever since Deezer overhauled its content distribution in the Middle East, I have lost all the suggestions I used to have, those suggestions that helped me discover great music. With personalizing content on region basis the greatest option which I used to love is not gone. Everytime I open the app to look for something interesting to listen to all I can see on the first screen is stuff I have never listened to in my life, probably never will.

Can anyone please fix that!
PS I prefer rock music mostly and the image attached is the first screen I see when I open the app.

Hey @Mohamad Salama ! Please see above how to change country in your account 😉
What about my case? I had a deezer subscription in Brazil, moved to europe and did not change my payment option, but instead bought a year of deezer using a european gift card. So even living in Europe and buying a subscription in europe, I still have a brazilian account for 2 years (I bought 3 years before see my mistake).

I am just missing so much Spotify. Deezer has a totally dumb system, you can't even pay more to get high quality plan. If you buy years of subscription, deezer already taken your money and don't care about your needs. All can do is wait years to change any aspect of your subscription.

Hi @john03, you account it set up as you are from France, therefore you are getting the french recommendation. To change it you would have to cancel your current subscription and then subscribe again from the country that you are based in. In your case I managed to change from here 🙂 Please log out and log back in!
Thats soo annoying, easier to change streaming service I guess.
So, I purchased Deezer while on holiday in the states. I live in the U.K. and am happy the subscription is in dollars not pounds as is a little cheaper but all playlists and recommendations are U.S. any way of changing ?

Hi there @Eva.Zeman

That's definitely good feedback, thank you 😉
Hi. I am located in the Czech Rep, but I do not want to listen to Czech music in the flow. How can I switch to a different location?
Thanks

Thanks a lot for your reply, which is useful, but a little disappointing. 

Happy New Year

Hi! I registered on Deezer while being based in Russia, and my subscription is tied to my rubles card. I understand your decision to leave the Russian market as I also wholeheartedly condemn the war against Ukraine. That said (even though it’s strange to think about such minor issues in this context), I thought it would be possible for me to cancel my current subscription and activate a new one with an American card, as was recommended here? I can’t see this option at the moment and would really appreciate your help. Thanks!

OK, here's the thing. I subscribed back to Deezer because I like the app, both Win10 and Android, and the suggested content. I also like that you seem to have just about the largest collection of tracks.
BUT - and it is a BIG but....
Although I am from England, I also live a lot of time in Ukraine. I have become a great fan of some Ukrainian artists. Yet, for instance, with Tina Karol you only offer her few English language singles to me. And with the best rock band ever - Okean Elzi - I only get one track when I search.
Now with both of these I can search and get their original discography (or most of it) in Spotify. But Spotify will not work in Ukraine without a VPN...
Do you see my problem? I can get those Ukrainian tracks here in England on Spotify. But on Deezer only if I subscribe when in Ukraine? Something doesn't add up here...
I see the frustration of other customers here... and I understand that streaming rights may depend on location. But if I can get Ukrainian catalogue on Spotify, why not Deezer? It's making me thing that I chose the wrong service...
I am sure that this can be corrected. Come on...

I started using Deezer and was paying USD 9.99. Recently Deezer started locally and is available for AED 18/ month in the UAE. I went to manage subscription and chose other plan options and it says that my current plans is AED 18/ month. But this is wrong because my current payment is still taking USD 9.99 from my card.

How do I change my subscription plans from USD 9.99 to AED 18/ month without disconnecting my current connection?



Hi Jonathan, you can't change it, the country is set automatically, it depends on your ip...
