14 DAY TRIAL // Deezer is finally making good on some of the promises it made last year. It is now available in all of Europe, the company says, 46 countries in total, thanks to its latest push in Eastern Europe, the last group of countries to join.
The site has actually been available for a few days now in the region, but Deezer is announcing that the roll out is complete. Users in these countries will be able to sign up for the music streaming service and have access to most of the music in its online library.
"Deezer, the leading music streaming service worldwide with over 20 million users, is launching in Eastern Europe on March 15th, 2012 and is set to become a top destination for all music fans," Deezer announced.
"Deezer will respond to all music fans' needs: discover, listen to, organize and share all the music they love, anytime and anywhere,without limitation, on any device."
Deezer is a fairly standard music streaming service, you get access to a huge library of songs to listen to as many times as you like, provided you pay the monthly fee.
The company is boasting deals with some 2,000 music labels, all the major ones and plenty of independent ones as well. In total, it's got some 15 million songs on offer.
Of course, the number is a bit misleading as the songs that will actually be available in your country may vary and you will encounter, somewhat randomly, songs that are listed but you can't listen to.
The fact that some songs from the same album are available and some aren't are even stranger, but these are the peculiarities of music licensing these days.
You can use Deezer for free, but that's only for two weeks during which you get access to everything the Premium+ tier would get you. After that you have to pay or continue in "Discovery mode" which serves 30-second clips.
Unlimited streaming on the desktop is €3.49, $4.55 and you have to pay €6.99, $9.12 for mobile access and access from other devices, such as IPTVs, or things like the Sonos or the Logitech Sqeezebox.
