Deezer is a streaming music app that delivers high-fidelity sound quality. You might want to transfer music from Deezer to your MP3 player so you can enjoy high-fidelity music anytime, anywhere. Is this possible? The answer is yes, but you must first check if your MP3 player can install the Deezer app. If it cannot, this guide offers an alternative method to help you download Deezer music and transfer it to your MP3 player. Let's see how to convert Deezer to an MP3 player in just a few minutes.
Part 1. Can You Use Deezer on MP3 Players?
The short answer is yes, but it depends on the type of MP3 player you own. There are two kinds: newer players that support the Deezer app, and older players that lack an app store and Wi-Fi. Both can play Deezer music, but the method for each is different.
MP3 Players with Native Deezer Support
Modern MP3 players often act like small Android music players or Digital Audio Players (DAPs). They let you install the Deezer app, log into your account, and download music via Wi-Fi for offline playback if you have a Premium membership. Here are some options:
- Sony Walkman (select newer models): Certain models, such as NW-A306, NW-ZX707, NW-WM1AM2, and NW-WM1ZM2, run on Android and support the Deezer app. These models often offer high-resolution (HiFi) audio.
- FiiO players: Models like M11S, M15S, M17, and M23 run Android 10 or 12. Older models like the M7 use customized Android. You can download the Deezer app from the Google Play Store and use it as on a phone. FiiO players also support high-fidelity audio output.
- Generic Android-based players: Some affordable brands, including Oilsky, Mechen, and PECSU, make screen-based, Wi-Fi-enabled MP3 players. These devices often include the Google Play Store or pre-installed music apps like Deezer, Spotify, and Amazon Music.
- iPod Touch (discontinued): Models running iOS 15 or later can still run the Deezer app over Wi-Fi, even though the device was discontinued in 2022.
Traditional MP3 Players (No Wi-Fi or Apps)
Most classic MP3 players, such as the iPod Shuffle, older SanDisk Clip series, or basic Sony Walkman devices, do not support Wi-Fi functionality and cannot install streaming apps like Deezer.
Additionally, you cannot directly transfer files downloaded from the Deezer app to these players, as they are protected by digital rights management (DRM) and use proprietary formats.
To play Deezer music on these devices, you must convert the files to a universal format like MP3, WAV, or FLAC. Once converted, you can transfer them to the player for playback.
Part 2. How to Download Music from Deezer to MP3 Player
To download Deezer music to an MP3 player, the first step is to use ViWizard Deezer Music Converter to convert Deezer music to MP3 format or any other format you prefer. Why choose ViWizard?
I personally love ViWizard Deezer Music Converter because it supports one-click batch downloads of songs, playlists, albums, and podcast episodes. It offers a wide range of output formats, including MP3, FLAC, WAV, AIFF, M4A, and M4B. Even better, this tool lets me download lossless audio quality.
When my Deezer Premium subscription is active, downloads reach 16-bit/1411kHz FLAC quality. And when I put the converted Deezer music files on my MP3 player, the media player will display the song title, cover art, and artist and delivers a near-native Deezer app experience.
ViWizard also supports downloads from other music services, including Spotify, Apple Music, SoundCloud, and Amazon Music. When downloading from Deezer, a Premium subscription is recommended. Without it, you may only get a 30-second preview instead of the full track.
Download Deezer playlists, songs, radio stations, and your collection as MP3, FLAC, WAV, etc. with original audio quality and full metadata information.

To play Deezer music on your MP3 player and carry your favorite tracks with you, you need to meet one of the following conditions: either own an Android MP3 player with Wi-Fi capability, or use ViWizard Deezer Music Converter to download Deezer songs into standard audio formats, such as MP3, then transfer the audio files to your player and play them via the default media player. While transferring files between devices takes time, ViWizard's batch processing technology ensures the entire process remains efficient.
