Unlock Deezer

Music, World Wide Web

Just patched a little Greasemonkey script to unlock the full features of Deezer!

Here you go:

// ==UserScript==
// @name Deezer Version 2 Unlocker
// @namespace Enables disabled songs on Deezer
// @description Enables disabled (grayed-out) songs on Deezer. This script replaces the GeoIP location with French, but leaves (most of) the actual Deezer application in English.
// @include http://www.deezer.com/
// @include http://www.deezer.com/*
// @include http://deezer.com/
// @include http://deezer.com/*
// @include http://*.deezer.com/*
// ==/UserScript==
document.getElementById("flash").innerHTML = document.getElementById("flash").innerHTML.replace(/geoip=DE/g, "geoip=FR");
document.getElementById("player").innerHTML = document.getElementById("player").innerHTML.replace(/geoip=DE/g, "geoip=FR");
document.getElementById("focus").innerHTML = document.getElementById("focus").innerHTML.replace(/geoip=DE/g, "geoip=FR");
