After two years of happy subscription with Deezer, I was unfortunately left no choice but to switch to a competitor, after Deezer doubled its prices in Israel (from $8 a month for a family account to $18), while all of its competitors remained at the original price point. Only when my paid subscription ended, I discovered that “Deezer Free” (the one with ads) is no longer supported “in your country” (Israel).

I am saddened for Deezer because I know that now not only will you lose all your existing Israeli customers (who will not agree to this price doubling), but you’ll never get new ones (I only subscribed to Deezer after enjoying its free version for a few months and seeing what it can do). But it also caused me a bigger problem: I can no longer see my old Deezer liked song list! Deezer Free’s unavailability in Israel not only prevents me from listening to songs - but it prevents me from getting into the Deezer app or Web UI at all, and I can’t even see my playlists. This is unfair, and unexpected, because in the past it *was* possible to see my account even without a valid paid subscription - I was very limited in what I can play, but just seeing the list of songs was possible.
