    Anyone use Deezer? How does the feature set compare? How does it compare to Tidal? I’d love to get off Spotify, just need a good replacement for all the music I listen to.

      Stopped using it when they arbitrarily removed songs from a rapper cause french prime minister had an issue with his lyrics.

      I’ve been using Deezer for almost a year now.

      Things I like:

      • Duo subscription is suitable for long distance couples (this was the main reason I subscribed to Deezer and not Spotify).
      • Wide range of songs, even some pretty rare gems are available there.

      Things I (we) don’t like:

      • As others mentioned, discovering unknown songs is not really a thing on Deezer. Spotify was so good at giving me other songs than what I used to listen, and it aced it. Deezer cannot do that. It only has predefined lists with songs that everyone knows (“hits” in other word).
      • My girlfriend sometimes experiences lags, so probably in Asia they don’t have servers.

      I’ve been using Deezer since Tidal dropped Plex support. So far the library seems to be the same as Spotify, at least I wasn’t missing too many songs when transferring my Spotify playlists in.

      I like the built-in song identifier and radio station support. The song quizes are a little gimmicky, but kinda fun. I probably haven’t used it enough for recommendations to get me down, but so far nothing crazy has popped up there.

      I’m not sure if it’s just my phone, but every couple days when I first launch the app, I need to close and reopen it to get it to load, my desktop app constantly throws up a banner saying the app is offline, but it doesn’t actually effect functionality, so it’s just annoying more than anything.
