Deezer, a privately owned company headquartered in France, is a subsidiary of Access Industries.

The company operates a music streaming platform whose main product focuses on content created by musicians.
Media player Winamp is set to return in 2027 with a new premium streaming subscription, powered by French streaming platform Deezer, which will provide access to its music catalogue through an upgraded Winamp Player. This development marks Winamp's entry into the streaming game, a player originally launched in 1997 as an improved MP3 player for Windows. This follows earlier reports from September 21, 2026, that Deezer will supply the catalogue and streaming technology behind the new Winamp subscription, expected with a rebuilt Winamp player in the first half of 2027. Deezer had previously lost approximately 800,000 partner-driven subscribers.
