I'm not familiar with Deezer ripping mechanics - is it the same as Google Play (i.e. full but encrypted tracks get locally cached then then the dedicated software decrypts/saves their decrypted copies) or audio stream gets ripped/decrypted in real-time and thus one has to wait when playback of all tracks completes?
There seems to exist some sort of unreliability/instability in results of Deezer ripping process because e.g. for this exact EVLEG5 release Mp3Diags reports of some null/unknown streams:
  ** track 1 = Null stream after MPEG Stream;
  ** track 2 = Unknown stream after MPEG Audio stream;
  ** track 3 = "Xing header included in audio frame count. This is probably best ignored, as most players are fine with it and the fix erases potentially important information, like gapless playing information or the table of contents" + Unknown stream after MPEG Audio stream.

Ofc all these are minor errors:
  ** removing null/unknown streams (that Mp3Diags can perform) doesn't affect audio stream;
  ** this Xing header problem can be fixed only by completely removing the header but this just adds some offset to audio stream while keeping the rest of the fixed track completely identical vs. track's initial version.
Also Google Play writes Lame header that shows exact LAME version and encoding settings used (not something like "LAME3.99.#$@%" and no encoder settings in MediInfo - and then one has to use TrueLameVersion to detect LAME version by tracks' padding).

But, once again, all these are minor issues - yet if one's too sensitive/paranoid about "authenticity" of free mp3 rips (lol) and has a luxury of choosing between different sources/streaming services guess he should prefer Google Play (usually there's no such option though, hardly someone else than KonFish will bother to generate mirror non-scene releases for everything that was already posted at xprm/1gabba/hardbay as Deezer rips).
Btw ZzZz group in its latter UK Hardcore releases seems to be using Deezer rips as well, despite of Google Play declared in nfo :)
