These four new features from Deezer outpace those of Spotify.

      Deezer has chosen this moment, as Spotify faces significant outage consequences, to unveil four new features that distinguish it from its competitors, including Spotify.

      These new Deezer features are set to start rolling out in April, with some appearing later in May.

      The French streaming service, Deezer, will introduce My Deezer Month to rival Spotify’s Wrapped and Replay features.

      While those features are trying to catch up, the following new offerings demonstrate innovation in the streaming space.

      Share with anyone

      One common issue among many streaming services is the inadequate music-sharing experience. Sending a link may prevent non-subscribers from access. Deezer is addressing this problem.

      With this update, anyone sharing a song from Deezer can use a universal link that allows access through any streaming service, including Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube Music.

      Control the algorithm

      The smart algorithms that recommend music based on our listening habits can help with new music discoveries, but they are not always reliable.

      If you share an account with someone else, you probably understand the frustration of receiving recommendations based on their listening choices.

      Deezer seeks to rectify this by providing users with more options than just the like button it has featured for years. Now, users can also mark songs and artists as disliked, ensuring they do not reappear in recommendations.

      Personalize your layout

      Another aspect of the new update allows users to customize the app further. You’ll have the ability to arrange the Favorites tab for easier access to your preferred content.

      You can even personalize playlists with photos, shapes, stickers, and more.

      My Deezer Month

      The introduction of My Deezer Month provides listeners with additional statistics, including their most listened-to songs, artists, and genres.

      Users will receive a monthly breakdown of their listening habits to enjoy and utilize as they wish.

      Alexis Lanternier, CEO of Deezer, stated: “At Deezer, we are continually innovating to provide the most personalized and customizable music experience available. The new features we're launching today give users more control over their algorithm, enhanced options to personalize their experience, and straightforward ways to share content with friends, even outside of Deezer. We aim to keep providing fans with new, engaging ways to enjoy music.”
