What’s Deezer’s Deal?
Deezer is a digital music streaming platform that’s been around since 2007.
Just like anything in the modern world, you have options.
So, after giving the 30-day free trial a go, I decided to make the permanent switch.
They give half off to students (which is typical), but they also offerdiscounts to healthcare workers.
So, what was it that reeled me in?
The 32,000+ radio stations?
That they actually send you a reminder to cancel well before your free trial is up?
Sure, these were all factors, but there’s more to it than that.
For me, once I did, there was no was no going back.
There are also multiple options for bit rates, which is nice.
As of now, they offer 320 KBPS, which is standard lossless and sounds great.
They also added truehi-fi FLAC audio files, but you need a high-speed connection to use it.
It’s easy to use and works great.
Sure, it’s not some master-level soundboard, but that would be too much anyhow.
It’s simple and effective, and there are at least a dozen great presents.
These are essentially live EPs that Deezer records and offers as exclusives.
I think it’s a great idea.
It’s also a great place to find new artists that otherwise you would never have heard of.
At first, I thought I’d have to start fresh.
For identifying songs by the music, its response is accurate and nearly instant.
I tried using it across multiple genres and with major hits.
I’m Sold on Deezer, but It Has Its Drawbacks
Everything has its opportunity costs.
So, just as Deezer has many benefits, there are also some things I don’t prefer.
Deezer offers around 160,00 podcasts.
which seems like a lot until you realize Spotify offers2.2 million.
Deezer has plenty of major titles available, but it isn’t a podcaster’s paradise.
I’m not saying Deezer will be the promised land for everyone.
