Hi @PeterE !

With Deezer Connect, you can be in charge of music across different devices. Using your mobile, you are able to control the playback of music on the desktop app, other mobile devices connected with your account, or the Deezer website. 

I link below is article how to use it!

He's clearly not the only one for whom this feature doesn't work. I never use it because it often glitches. Either, it takes a long time to connect. And when it's connecting, I don't have to do too many different things, otherwise everything is broken. For example, I can change the music on my computer but as soon as I want to play new music from my phone everything breaks. Same for many features.
And I'm not the only one. This is the case for ALL my friends. I don't know a single person who uses this feature daily because it is broken.

Please point out that it is NECESSARY to overhaul Deezer connect so that it works well on both sides (computer and phone). All actions must be able to be done on both sides. This is a really useful feature on Spotify. I'm thinking of going back to them, this feature is wonderful.

In addition, if this functionality is done without bugs, it means that the player is able to manage actions performed remotely on the music. So this opens the door to a feature like Spotify's "jam". Really go for it, it’s important to do this. This is one of the reasons why I always recommend Spotify to my friends rather than Deezer.

So please bring this up. Most users are not aware of the existence of the Deezer forum, but fix Deezer connect is REALLY requested by the silent Deezer community.

I could never get Deezer connect to work reliably so I always Airplay to my streamer, thankfully Deezer still supports Airplay 1 so the stream goes lossless. I would look forward to a Deezer Connect that works directly with other systems, such as Kef active powered speakers.

Hi @PeterE, sorry to hear that you are having this kind of experience.

Unfortunately, we are aware about some issues regarding this feature and we are still investigating how to make it better.

In the meantime, the alternative suggested by @BigFKahuna if you are streaming from an iOS device is great.
