Attention: Upon arrival to the website one will notice the simplicity of the website and its obvious use as a streaming music player. There are no distracting advertisements and your attention is directed upon the search engine for music.
Perception: Deezer is extremely simple. To the left is an area for playlists. At the top is a simple search bar as well as the usual play/pause/stop buttons one would find on a music player. The actual library of music after a search is very similar to iTunes layout and design.
Memory: This website really is easy to remember to use from the get-go. Again, it is very similar to iTunes which is a very straight forward approach. A user just simply searches for the artist of choice and click on the song they want to listen to.
Learning: This website is very easy to find the songs you want to listen to (if it is available). The only thing one may want to do to take full advantage is registering with their email address in order to save playlists. Other than that I would say there is not much learning involved.
Problem Solving: There is a help link on the page, but for some reason it is only available in what seems to be French. This I found odd because everything else is in English. The only thing that could be considered a problem is that sometimes songs are not available due to the nature of legality of streaming music online (sometimes songs are blocked until a new link is provided).

Are using songs you’ve uploaded to the web?

Yes, I have uploaded all of my songs to the website. It is nice to be able to listen to my library from any computer.
I also use deezer to listen to music that I am unfamiliar with.
