They could have a hidden agenda, or they could be doing so to give users an incentive to use their service over others out there, because Deezer is certainly not the only service of its kind. leland wrote:

I have tried it on a few occasions. It seems like a cool service, I was able to find some music I had never heard of from France that was very nice. The radio stations were ok, but nothing special. Overall the sound quality seemed quite good, though sometimes there was an occasional glitch when having too much network traffic, but nothing that would stop me from using it.

They failed to make the deadline but they're still negotiating 3 months later. It could suddenly lose many records if they don't complete the deals they're working on. I gather the record companies primary bone of contention is that they're licensed for France only and they want to block anyone outside of france. imeem has all the deals but mainly for north america, so if you're in those regions then imeem is clearly the better option.

Finding it a bit of a trial as their front page, beautiful as it is, hasn't updated in the month that I've been using it, their radio stations are execrable and I find things just clunky to use. nOh well I’ve used Deezer for a bit.
