This is a $1 dollar increase from what I was paying. But soon subscribers will be $15/month, then $20/month. I wonder how much of deezer’s income actually goes to the artists.

    I don’t know about Deezer, but Spotify is raising prices while telling artists they will no longer be paid at all unless they reach a certain threshold of popularity. So they’re boiling the frogs on both ends.

    The middlemen who neither create nor appreciate music will still do OK though.

      Problem is, Spotify has always been making a loss, so I’m not sure what side I’m on here

        The great problem is that, as it turns out, as always when it comes to mass media distribution services (ie: YouTube, twitch, etc), bandwidth is expensive, having servers around the world to have proper content delivery is expensive

    The frog in boiling water is actually a complete myth. The frog jumps out when the water is too warm for it, it’s not completely stupid. If the price is ‘too hot’ for you, jump out. Deezer (or any other streaming service) isn’t forcing you to stay subscribed.

    I remember people giving Spotify shit for increasing their monthly price from 10 to 11. It was the first price hike in over a decade. That doesn’t seem devastating or bad or wrong.

    Compare it to something like Disney plus and how drastically they increased the price since service introduction

      Deezer has a smaller catalog, as far as I’m aware. Tried switching, but it’s hard when I have 700 liked songs on Spotify and only a fraction available on Deezer. Liked everything else about them though.

    I’m still trying to buy physical CDs. It is getting more difficult, but they’re still around.

    This shitshow will only get worse, NOT better.

    My Tidal Hi-Fi quality with veteran discount hasn’t gone up a penny. It’s like $6-7 a month for the CD quality lossless.

    Privacy.com card, limit $1. Deezer premium free trial with fake email, immediately lock and delete privacy card. Login to Deezer in the deemix-gui app. Proceed to download all the music you could possibly want, in lossless format, until the trial runs out. Proceed to create a new privacy card and a new Deezer premium trial with a new fake email. Problem solved.

    I like deezer and I like that they are not part of big tech. It’s just a small French company with a quality product as an alternative to Spotify, which is in bed with Google and everyone else.

    Well worth the money.

    At this point people should be posting things that HAVENT seen a price hike. Because if there are companies out there not jacking up their rates, they deserve a standing O.

    Qobuz has been fantastic for me. Great music quality and selection, and not just garbage hit list music.
