Logitech is closing mysqueezebox servers

 After a more than ten year journey, as of February 2024, will the  MySqueezebox.com servers be discontinued. This will heavily impact Deezer users. For me personally it means I would probably switch to Spotty after 11 y. by Deezer!!

Deezer, please  fix this issue!!!

Hey Deezer,

please help fixing this issue. In my house I have at least 15 players on LMS. We have a family account and I would not like to switch to Spotify, but would reluctantly do it, as it is no option to replace all my hardware. We are the ones who ask before Deezer stops working on LMS, there will be many more, who silently migrate to Spotify, once Deezer goes silent.

Yup,  I think many of us have to switch to another service, because of our existing hardware. I really really want to stay with Deezer, it just sounds better than Spotify.

So deezer please help the lms community to develop a plugin that is capable of streaming to our devices without mysqueezebox.com

Cheers 

Hi buttyradio,

This is very sad news for Squeezebox users. I can’t see myself leaving Deezer at the moment as I have signed up for a year a couple of months ago.

Have you got any info on the reasons why Logitech are shutting down the server for mysqueezebox.com, I imagine they must have thousands of users round the globe.

I hope the LMS software will still work OK as I use this with picoreplayer on my raspberry pi 4.

I may give Spotify a go and see how it integrates with LMS.

Cheers

They run the server for ten years after selling the last Squeezebox. They do not earn any money with that server so it was just a matter of time when to switch it off...

Dears Deezer and Access Industries CEO and CFO,

as explained hereabove with stopping of mysqueezebox.com service by Logitech sooner in Feb.24, whole high values Premium Deezer users enjoying Deezer via access to mysqueezebox.com for Hifi Squeezebox devices and Premium High End Audio devices (Innuos, Musical Fidelity, Daphile embedded in high end streamer...) could not anymore use Deezer.

Are you able to accept a immediate revenue lost of about 5 M (EUR)/y starting on Feb.24 when we will be obliged to switch to Qobuz or Spotify ?? Qobuz and Spotify are supported natively into LMS w/o need of mysqueezebox.com.

You could easily avoid this lost and raise up easily your revenue by growing up Premium Deezer users by simply helping Community Developer (they are ready to help) to allow access to Deezer service via a new LMS plugin.

Chiming in as well, long time Premium subscriber, but I rely on LMS and mysqueezebox.com to be able to stream Deezer to my home audio system. I really hope Deezer can step up and help support the LMS community towards creating a Deezer plugin for LMS as I don’t want to switch streaming service.

Could Deezer be interested in taking over the mySqueezebox service or just parts of it?
We must be several Deezer users who are happy to be able to stream Deezer through Squeezebox devices. Maybe it will give me an opportunity to podcast through Deezer. Something I don't use today, but will if the opportunity presents itself.

Don’t like the idea leaving Deezer but without our beloved Squeezebox integration there is no reason to stay with Deezer, sorry.
