Don’t panic, we’ll show you step-by-step how to add music, manage your playlists and synchronize your library across all your devices.
Playlist management on Deezer
Playlists are at the heart of the Deezer experience. They let you organize your music according to your tastes and moods. Whether you’re a fan of rock, jazz or pop, Deezer gives you simple tools to create, edit and share your favorite playlists. Let’s see how you can make the most of this essential feature.
Create a Deezer playlist
Creating a playlist on Deezer is child’s play. You can start organizing your music in just a few clicks.
Here’s how it works:
- Open the Deezer application and go to the “Favorites” section.
- Click on “Playlists”, then on “Create a playlist” (or the little “+” button).
- Give your playlist a name.
Choose something that reflects its mood or theme.
💡 Reduce the cost of your Deezer Premium subscription with Deezer subscription sharing. By integrating a group on a specialized platform, you benefit from premium advantages at a reduced price, while ensuring security and compliance with terms of use.
Once you’ve created your playlist, you can personalize it even further. Add an image by clicking on the camera icon. It’s a nice touch that helps you recognize your playlists at a glance.
You also have some interesting options to explore. For example, you can make your playlist collaborative. This lets your friends add tracks to your playlist. It’s great for getting together for a party or sharing your musical discoveries.
If you prefer to keep your playlist to yourself, no problem. Just check the “Private” option. That way, only you will have access to it.
Don’t forget that playlists are public by default. So if you want to keep your musical tastes secret, remember to activate the private option as soon as you create them.
Once you’ve configured everything the way you want it, click on “Create”. And that’s it! Your new playlist is ready for all your favorites.
Adding tracks to a playlist
Adding tracks to your playlist is child’s play on Deezer. You have several options at your disposal, whether you’re on mobile or computer.
On your smartphone, it’s super simple. Find the song you want to add and press the three little dots next to it. Then choose “Add to playlist”. Your recently modified playlists will appear first, saving you time.
If you prefer to use Deezer on your computer, no problem. The method is similar. Click on the three dots next to a track, then select “Add to playlist”. You can also add songs directly from the player by clicking on the “+” icon.
Deezer has even thought of making things even easier with its Playlist Assistant. It’s a handy tool available on mobile. It lets you add tracks based on intelligent suggestions. You can choose from your recent favorites, your most-listened-to tracks, or even pick from your other playlists.
Don’t hesitate to listen to a 30-second sample before adding a track. It’ll help you be sure of your choice. And if you change your mind? No problem. You can remove a track just as easily as you added it.
With all these options, creating the perfect playlist becomes a real pleasure. Whether it’s for a night out with friends, your sports session or just to relax, you’ve got all the tools you need to personalize your musical experience on Deezer.
Share and collaborate on Deezer playlists
Music sharing is at the heart of the Deezer experience. With collaborative playlists, you can create playlists with friends, family or even other music fans. It’s fun and easy!
To get started, go to “Favorites”, then “Playlists”. Create a new playlist or choose an existing one. You’ll see a little slider labeled “Collaborative”. Activate it, and voilà! Your playlist is now open to collaboration.
But here’s an important detail: collaborative playlists are always public. This means that anyone can find them and contribute to them. This is great for discovering new tracks, but keep this in mind if you prefer to keep certain lists private.
Want to add titles? It’s easy. On your phone or computer, search for the song you like. Click on the three little dots next to the title, then choose “Add to playlist”. Select your collaborative list, and that’s it!
And if you change your mind about a song? No problem. Just go to your playlist, click on “Modify”, and you can remove the tracks you no longer want.
The coolest thing about collaborative playlists is seeing what others add. Maybe your best friend knows a great artist you’ve never heard of. Or maybe a stranger will add the perfect song for your party. It’s like a little musical adventure to share.
Don’t forget that you can also search for other collaborative playlists. It’s a great way to discover new genres or artists you’ve never heard of before. Who knows, maybe you’ll find your next favorite track!
Download music for offline listening
Deezer lets you take your music everywhere, even without an Internet connection. It’s practical for air travel, in areas without a network, or simply to save on your data rate. Here’s how it works:
First of all, make sure you have a Deezer Premium, Family or HiFi subscription. Offline downloading is not available with the free version.
To download your music :
- Open the Deezer application on your smartphone or tablet.
- Find the album, playlist or track you want to download.
- Press the download icon (usually represented by a downward arrow).
- Wait for the download to finish. A green indicator will appear next to the downloaded titles.
By default, Deezer only downloads via Wi-Fi to preserve your mobile data rate. If you want to download via mobile data, go to the application settings and activate the corresponding option.
To listen to your music offline :
- Activate offline mode in the application settings.
- Go to the “Downloads” tab to find your music.
Don’t forget to download your favorite tracks before you leave on your trip. That way, you’ll always have your music at hand, whether you have an Internet connection or not. It’s the freedom to listen, wherever you are!
However, the real magic of Deezer lies in its ability to synchronize your music across all your devices. Imagine listening to your favorite playlist on your phone on your morning commute, then instantly finding it on your computer once you’ve arrived at the office.
Synchronizing music on different devices
Synchronizing your Deezer music across multiple devices is child’s play. Gone are the days when you had to manually transfer your favorite tracks from one device to another. With Deezer, your music library follows you wherever you go.
To start with, make sure you’re using the same account on all your devices. This is the key to synchronization. Log in with the same e-mail on your smartphone, tablet or computer. Once done, your playlists, favorites and listening history will be automatically updated on all your devices.
But there are a few limits to be aware of. With a standard subscription, you can connect up to three devices. However, you’ll only be able to listen to music on one at a time. That’s enough for most users.
Do you have a large family of music lovers? Deezer’s Family offer could be for you. It lets you connect up to 13 devices and listen simultaneously on 6 of them. Each member of the family has his or her own profile, with playlists and favorites.
Sometimes, you may want to remove an old device from your account. It’s simple: go to Settings, then to “Devices”, and delete the one you no longer need. Note that you can’t delete the device you’re currently using from the mobile application.
