Deezer Streaming Service Review

Deezer Streaming Service Review

In the ever-expanding market of online music providers, we are free to decide, which one to choose based on several considerations: sound quality and the kind of music offered are important, what extra services we get is certainly consequential, and of course the price of the service is not incidental either. Most streaming service providers also offer a free trial before we make our final decision.

In addition to Android and iOS, the French Deezer APP is also available for Blackberry OS and Windows Phone. It can also be used on other home devices.

Mobilnet is not absolutely necessary

Deezer also has an offline mode, and you can download and listen to playlists offline without having to jump up and down when you get the bill from your mobile Internet service provider. You can also set this download mode over Wi-Fi only.

Like other music providers, Deezer has a web player also, consequently you are able to listen to your favourite music via a browser. The interface is clean but a bit bare, especially in the desktop version. There have been some changes to Deezer’s previous interface. “Home” has been replaced by “Music,” although it performs the same function as before: personalised playlists and offers the ability to browse music by lists, new releases, popularity, and different moods. Radio stations will still appear at the bottom of the page, but podcasts will now have their own tab. “Favorites” has been replaced by “My Music”, but the function remained unchanged.

Deezer is extremely similar to Spotify, both in terms of appearance and features. Sometimes we experienced slightly slow loading images and other errors at Deezer. Many people complain about similar flaws – the service provider is constantly working on to correct these errors. Deezer has a navigation bar in the heading and even a built-in two-mix DJ desk that Spotify doesn’t have. Spotify is available in fewer countries than Deezer, which in turn offers its service in more than 150 countries. Therefore, expect more music when you use Deezer. Spotify and Deezer are so similar that it is also possible to transfer playlists from one provider to the other.

Sound

In the case of Deezer, we can expect clear and correct sound quality, listening to music in almost CD quality, in 16-bit / 44.1 kHz FLAC format. Of course, if you crave perfect musical sound, it’s worth thinking about a more serious sound system and getting good quality speakers. Before setting up your sound system, it helps if you know what you’re going to use your speakers for. So let’s see what type of speaker should you choose.The acoustics of the rooms also affect the sound, therefore it is worthwhile to perform acoustic treatment in the rooms. Sound-absorbing panels and diffusers are perfect for this purpose, with which you can achieve a balanced sound and eliminate acoustic flaws.

If we compare Deider’s sound with Tidal, we have to find that Tidal provided a more detailed, accurate, clearer sound for certain songs.

Deezer is not only a music player, but also a music platform. We find a lot of information about musicians and performers, and there are many useful functions to help you find your way around the information set. It also offers more complex applications, such as compiling statistics from our listening habits. You can also register for the Deezer service via Facebook. The sense of community is further enhanced by the fact that the service provider allows us to listen to the lists of other users as well. Deezer music filter works not only by genre, but also by region and country. We also find top lists and radios listed by the service provider.

Other features of Deezer

Deezer was the first music streaming service to offer 360 Reality Audio, which requires downloading the 360 ​​by Deezer APP. The bad news is that the Deezer 360 is only available on iOS and Android devices. There are eight playlists, including “New on 360 by Deezer,” which is available through a computer or hi-fi.

Of course, Deezer’s biggest advantage is the 360 Reality Audio, which is not offered by any other music streaming service. 360 Reality Audio offers 3D sound space by creating multiple virtual speakers and can be accessed through headphones. While the 3D sound is truly unique to Deezer, it doesn’t eclipse the stereo effect.

Deezer offers three price packages so you will find for sure the one that works best for you.

In addition to smartphones and computers, the Deezer APP is also available on a number of other devices: such as Samsung, Sony and LG TVs; or on wireless speakers: Sonos, Amazon, Bluesound and Bose… etc.

Chromecast and AirPlay allow you to send songs to even more devices. Regardless of the device used, subscribers will have access to a catalog of more than 56 million songs, of which the company claims to have more than 52 million CD-quality FLAC formats.

Conclusion

The French music streaming service is constantly improving and renewing to make subscribers even more satisfied. With a huge selection of music, information, extra features, and fantastic sound quality, Deezer is the perfect choice. For now, 3D sound is only available from this music streaming provider, and while it’s still in its infancy and has a long way to go to reach a flawless service, it is certain, however, that thanks to its popular features Deezer will soon be shoot out to the top of streaming companies.
