You’ll need to start shopping for a new music streaming service.
Is this really an advice?
So Deezer is forcing this unrequested transition by increasing costs and the best advice is “if you don’t like it, go away”?
I know you’re being kind enough to give an answer and I know it’s not your fault as an individual, but speaking about Deezer, that’s a deal breaker for me and for many others.
Deezer should consider a lower cost subscription plan not requiring the HiFi imposition...
I never said “if you don’t like it, go away” please don’t put words in my mouth. You even put it in quotes as if I said that. I did not.
Deezer has made this decision. It’s not going to change. It’s up to you to decide how you choose to respond to it.
The OP appreciated my candid response. Others have been less forthcoming, which has led to ambiguity, as evidenced by your other thread, which I also just responded to.
Cheers

Being fair, I understand and I didn’t intended to say something you didn’t actually said. That’s why I used the quote of your real statements and the quotes of my interpretation of Deezer’s position you gave. Sorry if I bother you, it wasn’t my intention.
Anyway, even if your advise is a little upsetting for some/many, it really is true. One friend would say: Its not your fault but its your problem! I mean, their decision has been made and we now have to take action: remain or go.
At this point as a support representative answered me by email in the past days (quote):
(...) we also got a new CEO this summer, who has brought a new vision and direction to the company (...)
This is their bussiness way at present.
I don't know where you are but Spotify doesn't have HiFi anywhere - what they refer to as HiFi isn't lossless. My point was the Deezer's had a HiFi plan for years, it just wasn't forced on subscribers, perhaps like you, who don't want it. I on the other hand do want it and already paid for the family HiFi service but am becoming disenfranchised by their lack of support for devices that can actually benefit from it. It seems that their policies are pissing both of us off here...
I agree with what you said.

Really, Deezer “implemented” hi-fi relatively late compared to other services.
While it may not have been available in all markets Deezer was one of the first streaming services to have a HiFi plan. They are also one of the first to force the plan on subscribers who don't want it, which many are upset about.
Well, here in my country other services already have “Hi-Fi” or similar: Spotify, Amanzon. For a lower price. And with a Family plan.
I’ll receive the HiFi on next month.

The issue is that WHY you have to pay MORE for Deezer when other services let you pay LESS.

Yes, I hope enough people rething this and change music provider.
Hello Fhernando,
You’ll need to start shopping for a new music streaming service. Deezer is transitioning to all hifi and the service they are moving you to will be your option if you remain with them.
Well, if this is an advice, I think that we’ll solve all problems in the world with advices like that.
Given that the decision has been made I'm curious to know what your recommended solution would be.
Whether you like it or not @GropplerZorn has provided the best advise for those who don't want to pay a premium for a service they can't use. Taking your business elsewhere is probably the best long-term solution because if enough people do it they might re-think the plan, or at least the premium cost for it.

I have Deezer Family plan, I got an email where they’ll add 3€ more for the plan.
I have no devices to ENJOY the music quality difference.
I listen to music on my laptops and in my car with smartphone.
I have to pay more for what?

Thank you for your answer GropplerZorn! It has been very helpful for me. Have a nice day.
Hello Fhernando,

Many people, myself included, enjoy the hifi tier and find it to be a good value, but that is your choice of course.
Best of luck with whatever you decide.
