How to Copy Music from Deezer to USB in High Quality

Part 1. Can You Transfer Deezer Music to a USB Drive?

You cannot directly transfer music from Deezer's standard download feature to a USB drive. This is because the downloads are encrypted and protected by Digital Rights Management (DRM), which ties the files to the Deezer app. So, even if you know where the Deezer app stores your downloaded music, you will only find cached files that are not playable.

How to Make Deezer Music Transferable to USB

However, it is possible to transfer Deezer music to a USB. The first step is to remove the DRM protection from your Deezer downloads. There are many third-party tools or Deezer downloaders that can help you with this, such as ViWizard Deezer Music Downloader.

These tools allow you to convert Deezer songs, playlists, and albums into DRM-free formats like MP3. Once converted, it becomes much easier to move your Deezer downloads to a USB drive and play them on any compatible device.
