Before you start

Choral is a floating remote control for macOS, not a streaming service. Deezer continues playing in Chrome under your own account. Choral Connector sends the current track and supported controls to the Choral app through a local connection on your Mac.

You need macOS 15 or later, Google Chrome, the Choral app, and the free Choral Connector extension. The extension does not receive access to Deezer until you explicitly enable that website.

1. Install Choral Connector

  1. Install Choral on your Mac. Download it directly or install it from the Mac App Store, then open the app.
  2. Add Choral Connector to Chrome. Open the Chrome Web Store listing and choose Add to Chrome.
  3. Keep the extension available. Open Chrome's Extensions menu and pin Choral Connector if you want its icon to stay visible in the toolbar.
The browser extension cannot be used by itself. The Choral app must be running on the same Mac for the floating player to receive track information and send controls.

2. Enable Deezer in Chrome

  1. Open the music website. Visit https://www.deezer.com/ and sign in.
  2. Open Choral Connector. Click its toolbar icon while the Deezer tab is active.
  3. Enable this site. Click Enable Choral on this site, then approve Chrome's permission prompt. Choral requests access only to the music website you are enabling.
  4. Start a song. Play a normal track on the website. The popup should change to a Ready message after Choral recognizes the player.

3. Control Deezer from Choral

Choral connects to Deezer's web player and follows the song that is actually playable in your account. That includes the shorter playable duration Deezer may provide on a free account, which keeps Choral's progress bar synchronized.

Open Choral's music-source menu and select Deezer. This selection determines which source receives play, pause, and shortcut commands when several music apps or browser players are open at the same time.

  • Play and pause
  • Previous and next track
  • Seek within a track
  • Favorite and unfavorite
  • Shuffle
  • Repeat

You can also configure global shortcuts in Choral Settings. They work while you are using another app, so common actions do not require bringing Chrome or Choral to the front.

4. Like or favorite the current song

Use the heart in Choral to add or remove the current track from Deezer favorites. The action uses the Deezer account already signed in on the website.

If the heart is gray and cannot be clicked, the current player context has not exposed a reliable like or favorite action. Choral deliberately disables unavailable actions instead of hiding controls or guessing where to click.

What Full Support means

Deezer is Fully Supported in Choral. Play, pause, previous, next, seeking, favorites, shuffle, and repeat are available when the current Deezer playback context exposes them.

Music websites can change their player interfaces and internal behavior. Choral's support label describes the current integration, but a future website update can temporarily affect one or more controls.

Troubleshooting

Only a short duration is shown

Free Deezer playback may provide a 30-second playable preview. Choral intentionally displays the playable duration rather than the catalog's full song length.

The source is enabled but empty

Refresh deezer.com after granting permission and play a track from Deezer's main player rather than an embedded preview.

Favorite is disabled

Sign in to Deezer and wait for the bottom player to load. Choral enables the heart only when Deezer exposes its favorite control.

Choral Connector says the app is not connected

Open the Choral app and leave it running. The extension connects only to a local address on your Mac. If the status does not recover, quit and reopen Choral, then reopen the extension popup.

Install Choral and Choral Connector, enable the website, and start a track. Your browser keeps playing; Choral becomes the remote.
