Deezer has been at the forefront of the digital streaming revolution from the start. And because we’ve been around so long, we’ve had the time to build a range of tools and features that expand users’ options to create a more personal experience. But there is more than meets the eye (and ear) with Deezer, so here are a few of our favorite things you may not know about this top streaming app.
1. Yes, Deezer is Free
You can always listen to any of the millions of tracks you’ll find on Deezer without having to pay anything. You can even create playlists, mix music, podcasts, and more. But you can also choose to become a paid subscriber, which opens up an array of features like SongCatcher, all at your fingertips. Select from a range of paid subscription options, such as Student, Premium, and Family.
2. HiFi Audio Comes With All Levels of Paid Subscriptions
All paid subscribers enjoy HiFi audio, so your favorite tracks sound clear and crisp like the musicians are performing directly in front of you. That translates to lossless, 16-bit quality and a CD-level listening experience that’s accessible from all of your devices.
3. You Can Download Deezer Tracks for Offline Access
With a paid subscription, Deezer users can download their favorite music tracks and podcasts and listen to them even when they aren’t connected. That makes it ideal for travel, hikes, and any other time you feel like living offline for a while.
4. Flow Makes it Personal: Deezer Flow gives all users customized playlists and song selections.
Whether you pay for a subscription or are just trying Deezer out for free, you choose the songs you like and our system builds your listening session around them, incorporating similar styles and bands for a personalized experience just for you. You can even pick your mood — relaxation, melancholy, focus, party, and more — Deezer builds your playlist around it. And the more songs you listen to and highlight, the bigger and better your playlist gets.
5. Deezer Lets You Get the Lyrics Right
Like to sing along to your favorite tunes? Deezer has you covered. With our lyrics feature, you can get the lyrics on-screen to whatever song is playing, so you don’t have to mumble along to a stanza you might not know. And with our translation feature, you can even translate the lyrics into English, French, German, Spanish, and Portuguese.
6. SongCatcher Can Name That Tune
Hear a song you like, but don’t know what it’s called or who sings it? Turn on Deezer’s SongCatcher feature so it can recognize the tune and let you know the details, then add it to your favorites. You can even simply hum or whistle the tune; odds are, SongCatcher will be able to identify it and provide the name and artist. And if the artist and song are in our catalog of over 120 million tracks (so far!), a simple press of a button will add the song to your playlist.
7. The Deezer Logo Is All About Love, Music & Rhythm
The Deezer logo has stayed mostly unchanged since our founding in 2007. It featured a wordmark alongside a series of horizontal bars arranged to resemble the bars on a sound or volume monitor.
Now, fast forward to 2023, in collaboration with Koto Studio, we have crafted a brand new logo. The inspiration for our new logo stems from three fundamental elements that lie at the core of our brand: heart, music and rhythm.
With Koto Studio’s expertise, we’ve woven these elements into our brand’s visual identity, forming a logo, graphic system, and font that eloquently convey our brand’s essence and its close association with music, belonging, and vibrancy.
8. Deezer Pays Its Artists
Deezer, in collaboration with Universal Music Group, has introduced a revolutionary payment system called the Artist Centric Payment System (ACPS). This innovative approach is a testament to their ongoing dedication to fairly compensating artists and represents a significant departure from the existing economic framework of music streaming. The ACPS aims to deliver a benefit to artists by ensuring that their compensation aligns with the genuine interest shown by users. Similar to Deezer’s current User Centric Payment System (UCPS), the more a song is streamed, the higher the financial reward for the producer, publisher, or artist behind it. Furthermore, the ACPS places a strong emphasis on recognizing and remunerating engaging content while discouraging non-artist audio and actively addressing fraudulent activities.
9. Deezer’s French Roots Show Through Our International Scale
Deezer was founded in Paris, France, which means not only do our employees put only the finest wines in their breakfast cereal, but it also means we place a high value on craftsmanship and quality. This passion for superior work shows in everything we do, even when we’re streaming across the globe.
10. Deezer for Creators Puts The Power in Your Hands
