As the music streaming platform nears profitability, it\u2019s launching new features to differentiate itself in the highly competitive market.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Wednesday, Deezer <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/newsroom-deezer.com\/2025\/04\/deezer-unveils-new-features-to-offer-music-fans-an-even-more-personalized-experience\/\">announced<\/a> several features aimed at providing listeners with a more personalized experience. These include a customizable algorithm, monthly recaps, universal sharing, and more.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most notably, Deezer believes its custom algorithm will distinguish itself since listeners can fully personalize their recommendations without restriction.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Starting this month, users can manually adjust the recommended songs, playlists, albums, and artists, completely controlling their music discovery experience.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While competitors like Amazon Music, <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">App<\/a>le Music, and <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">YouTube<\/a> Music allow users to dislike or hide songs to reduce them from being suggested, Deezer takes this a step further by enabling users to entirely exclude songs, artists, or even entire playlists and albums through the new \u201cManage My Recommendations\u201d section.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Deezer also introduced a \u201cdislike\u201d button to pair with the existing \u201clike\u201d feature. Users can now express their disapproval of songs by tapping the heart symbol crossed out, indicating to the algorithm that they don\u2019t want recommendations for that track again.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other new features aimed at enhancing customization include options to personalize playlist covers by choosing from various colors and stickers, as well as customizing the Favorites tab to prioritize albums or artists for easier access. These features are set to launch next month.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"922\" src=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Deezer-2025.png?w=680\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2994877\" srcset=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Deezer-2025.png 1200w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Deezer-2025.png?resize=150,115 150w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Deezer-2025.png?resize=300,231 300w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Deezer-2025.png?resize=768,590 768w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Deezer-2025.png?resize=680,522 680w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Deezer-2025.png?resize=430,330 430w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Deezer-2025.png?resize=720,553 720w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Deezer-2025.png?resize=900,692 900w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Deezer-2025.png?resize=800,615 800w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Deezer-2025.png?resize=668,513 668w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Deezer-2025.png?resize=488,375 488w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Deezer-2025.png?resize=803,617 803w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Deezer-2025.png?resize=691,531 691w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><span class=\"wp-block-image__credits\"><strong>Image Credits:<\/strong>Deezer (Image has been modified)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Deezer also announced a new monthly recap feature called \u201cMy Deezer Month,\u201d which complements its annual wrap-up, \u201cMy Deezer Year.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In early May, users will be able to view various monthly statistics, including their most listened-to songs, artists, and genres, along with breakdowns of their activity, such as comparisons of total listening minutes to the previous month and total hours spent on their top three genres.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is a challenging area for Deezer to tackle, as Spotify remains the go-to platform for yearly recaps. Apple Music debuted a monthly version of its Replay feature last year, but it\u2019s uncertain whether Deezer\u2019s attempt can achieve the same level of popularity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the company, there was a 30% increase in the use of \u201cMy Deezer Year\u201d at the beginning of 2025.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"725\" height=\"859\" src=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Deezer-monthlyrecap.png?w=574\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2994878\" srcset=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Deezer-monthlyrecap.png 725w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Deezer-monthlyrecap.png?resize=127,150 127w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Deezer-monthlyrecap.png?resize=253,300 253w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Deezer-monthlyrecap.png?resize=574,680 574w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Deezer-monthlyrecap.png?resize=363,430 363w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Deezer-monthlyrecap.png?resize=608,720 608w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Deezer-monthlyrecap.png?resize=675,800 675w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Deezer-monthlyrecap.png?resize=564,668 564w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Deezer-monthlyrecap.png?resize=317,375 317w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Deezer-monthlyrecap.png?resize=521,617 521w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Deezer-monthlyrecap.png?resize=448,531 448w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 725px) 100vw, 725px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><span class=\"wp-block-image__credits\"><strong>Image Credits:<\/strong>Deezer<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, Deezer announced a universal sharing feature. When users share a song with friends, it takes them to Deezer\u2019s website, where they can click on multiple links to services where the song is available, including Spotify and Apple Music. So even if they don\u2019t have a Deezer account, they can still listen to the artist and enjoy the music. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Universal sharing launches in late April.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although Deezer is on the cusp of turning a profit, it also experienced a slight dip in subscribers, from 10 million in 2023 to 9.7 million in 2024. In contrast, Spotify has over 675 million monthly active users, including 263 million paying subscribers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
