# Deezer Plugin

The `deezer` plugin provides metadata matches for the importer using the Deezer Album and Track APIs.

## Basic Usage

First, enable the `deezer` plugin (see Using Plugins).

You can enter the URL for an album or song on Deezer at the `enter Id` prompt during import:

    Enter search, enter Id, aBort, eDit, edit Candidates, plaY? i
    Enter release ID: https://www.deezer.com/en/album/572261

## Configuration

This plugin can be configured like other metadata source plugins as described in Using Metadata Source Plugins.

### Default

    deezer:
        data_source_mismatch_penalty: 0.5
        search_limit: 5
        search_query_ascii: no

- search_query_ascii: If set to `yes`, the search query will be converted to ASCII before being sent to Deezer. Converting searches to ASCII can enhance search results in some cases, but in general, it is not recommended. For instance `artist:deadmau5 album:4×4` will be converted to `artist:deadmau5 album:4x4` (notice `×!=x`). Default: `no`.

The `deezer` plugin provides an additional command `deezerupdate` to update the `rank` information from Deezer. The `rank` (ranges from 0 to 1M) is a global indicator of a song’s popularity on Deezer that is updated daily based on streams. The higher the `rank`, the more popular the track is.
