How to download your Deezer listening history

What are you asking for?

Deezer keeps a row for every song you stream. Inside the app you only see part of it: Listening history on the web and desktop app, and Just Heard in the phone app, show your last 100 songs.

The full history comes in your personal data download, an Excel workbook (.xlsx) with one sheet for each kind of data. Deezer's request window describes it as your account data, your usage data ("your favourite content", "your listening history (content listened to, date and time of connection, address IP)") and your notification preferences.

How do I request it?

These steps follow Deezer's help article How to Request your data.

1. Sign in on the Deezer website

   Go to deezer.com/account in a web browser and sign in. Deezer says to do this "on our website". The phone and desktop apps' settings don't offer the download in Deezer's help pages.

   On a phone, use your browser (Safari, Chrome) rather than the app. If deezer.com keeps sending you to the app, request the desktop site from the browser menu.

2. Open My information

   If the link didn't take you straight there, select your profile picture, then Account settings. You land on the My information tab.

3. Choose My personal data

   Scroll to the Private information section. It has two buttons, Privacy settings and My personal data. Select My personal data. Deezer's help article calls it "Personal Data".

4. Check the window and choose Request my data

   A window titled Download your Deezer data opens. It says "it may take a few days for your request to be processed" and lists what the download includes. Select Request my data.

5. Enter the code from your email

   Deezer emails you a security code, sent to the email address on your account. Enter it on the website. You then get a second email confirming the request.

   If the code doesn't arrive within a few minutes, check your spam and promotions folders.

6. Wait for the download email

   Deezer says another email arrives "after 7 days", with a link to your data. Following the link asks you to sign in, and the download is in the same Private information section. In Deezer's own screenshot it reads "Download your personal data right from your account's creation until" a date, with a Download button underneath.

   The file stays available for 30 days. After that you can make a new request.

7. Upload the workbook to depth.fm

   Download the file and drop it on the upload page without opening it. If it came as a zip, upload the zip.

   On a phone, save it to Files (iPhone) or Downloads (Android) first, then choose it from there on the upload page.

What's in the file?

The download is an Excel workbook. One tool written for these files says the file name starts deezer-data_ and ends .xlsx.

A full export described in 2019 had 15 sheets: 1_creationData, 2_customizationData, 3_setupData, 4_favoriteArtist, 5_favoriteAlbum, 6_favoritePodcast, 7_favoritePlaylist, 8_favoriteSong, 9_dislikedTracks, 10_listeningHistory, 11_playlistCreated, 12_businessData, 13_navigationData, 14_tracking and 15_telco. Importers written in 2026 still look for 10_listeningHistory.

10_listeningHistory has one row per stream. In a real 2021 export the columns were, in order:

• Song Title, Artist, ISRC (a code that identifies the recording) and Album Title.
• IP Address: where you streamed from.
• Listening Time: how many seconds you listened. Some rows have -1, which means Deezer didn't record it. A 2019 export had no listening time for plays in the web player.
• Platform Name: like web, electron (the desktop app) or android.
• Platform Model: your device, like a phone model. Often blank for computers.
• Date: when you played it, to the second, like 2024-10-24 23:00:00.

According to one importer, French-language exports use French headings, such as Titre du morceau, Artiste, Titre de l'album, Durée d'écoute and Date d'écoute.

Deezer doesn't say which time zone the dates are in. Importers written for these files read them as UTC, and so does depth.fm.

The export doesn't show skips, shuffle, or whether a song came from Flow, a playlist or the radio.

What does depth.fm do with it?

depth.fm reads the workbook on its server and deletes the upload after 24 hours. From the listening history sheet it keeps the song, artist, album, ISRC, listening time, platform, device model and date. It never reads the IP address column or the other sheets.

Rows with a listening time of -1 get an estimate from the gap to your next play (up to 7 minutes, otherwise 3.5 minutes). Every other row uses the time Deezer recorded.

Troubleshooting

The code email never arrived

Check spam and promotions, then make sure you're looking at the right inbox. Your account's email address is shown on the My information tab under Log in. If it's an old address you can't reach, change it there first, then request again.

I can't find My personal data

Use a web browser, not the Deezer app. Go to deezer.com/account, stay on the My information tab and scroll down to Private information. In Deezer's screenshot of a finished request, the My personal data button looks greyed out while the Download button is available, so a request you've already made may be ready.

It's been more than 7 days

Deezer's help article marks the 7 days with an asterisk, and the request window says "a few days", so neither is a promise. If nothing has arrived after two weeks, contact Deezer's Customer Care with the privacy request form, which Deezer's privacy notice links for data access. Say you want a copy of your personal data, including your complete listening history.

The download link expired

Downloads last 30 days. Make a new request from My personal data and wait for the new email.

depth.fm can't find a listening history sheet

Make sure you uploaded the workbook from your personal data request, not a playlist export from another site. If you opened it and saved it in Excel, Numbers or Google Sheets, try the original file from Deezer's email. Saving can drop sheets or change the dates.

My times look an hour or two out

Deezer doesn't say which time zone it uses, and depth.fm reads the dates as UTC. Set your time zone under Settings on depth.fm and your times are recalculated.

Some plays show an estimated length

Deezer writes -1 when it didn't record how long you listened. depth.fm estimates those from the gap to your next play. Your play counts are still exact.
