Being able to listen to all your music within a single app has become a common expectation. Yet there are many tracks that are not available on the platforms. Songs by independent bands, personal demos, rehearsal recordings or songs not included in the catalog… There are plenty of reasons for this. Deezer now offers a little-known feature that lets users add their own MP3 files to the service’s interface. Users can therefore group all their music in one place and enjoy their personal tracks as if they were part of the catalog.
How to upload MP3s to Deezer
Deezer offers an upload option to enable every user to add MP3 files to their account. The system is very simple. Uploaded files are stored on the platform’s servers and attached directly to the user’s account. They can then be played from the webplayer and mobile app, provided the user has the appropriate subscription. These personal tracks appear in a dedicated section and can be added to playlists in the same way as tracks from the official catalog. The goal is clear: to offer a centralized solution that eliminates the need to juggle different audio playback apps.
The limits imposed by Deezer are designed to ensure good quality of service. Each user can upload up to two thousand files. The maximum size allowed for an MP3 is two hundred megabytes. This leaves plenty of room for short songs, live performances and longer creations. Deezer also specifies that the files remain totally private. They can only be accessed by the person who sent them. No public sharing is possible. This approach reinforces the idea that this feature is intended above all to complement the personal library, while respecting copyright laws.
How do you upload MP3s to Deezer?
Files can only be uploaded from the web version and the desktop application of Deezer. Once the MP3s have been uploaded, they become available on the mobile app for users with a subscription. Here’s how to add your own tracks:
- Click on the “Favorites” tab.
- Look for the “My MP3” section. If it doesn’t appear immediately, click on “More” to bring it up.
- Click on the “Send your MP3s” button.
- Select the MP3 files on your computer and start sending.
- Wait for the upload to complete. The tracks will then automatically appear in the “My MP3” area.
Once the files have been imported, they can be consulted from the mobile app in the “My MP3” section, but only for users with a paid subscription. It is also possible to insert these tracks into playlists. This is an effective way of mixing personal recordings with songs available in the Deezer catalog. For example, an amateur artist can group their demos with their inspiration. A listener can include an old digital mixtape in a modern music selection.
Your library available everywhere
The ability to upload MP3s to Deezer remains a feature that is under-emphasized, even though it meets many needs. It makes it possible to listen everywhere to rare tracks, not broadcast on the platforms or coming from personal creations. Whether you want to keep track of your musical projects, tracks by independent bands or home recordings, Deezer offers a unique space to bring all your music together. By centralizing both catalog tracks and personal files, users benefit from a complete, coherent experience that simplifies their daily listening experience.
