NAD/BluOS support on Deezer

I have a NAD C658 streaming DAC running the latest BluOS.
While I can use the Deezer plugin within the BluOS application it is nowhere near as nice as the actual Deezer application.

It would be ideal if one of two things were to happen:
A. The Deezer application on my Laptop (mac) or other devices (IOS, Android, Etc) could send the audio stream directly to the NAD (Not using Airplay or Bluetooth). Spotify can do this; it ensures the user has the same interface experience regardless of the endpoint in use (phone, laptop, Hifi, smart speaker, etc). Currently I am stuck using the crippled NAD Deezer application.

B. Deezer becomes compatible with Roon. This, again, would be far superior to the BluOS integration currently available and again, create a single user interface across multiple platforms.

Thanks for the great feedback @Fluffywalrus and I would love to be able to offer what you are looking for straight away but that’s beyond what I can do as a CM.
We recently open the possibility to test our remote control function to all iOS users (Not only beta) and the next step is to expand that. However I don’t have an ETA for that.
I’ll pass the feedback to our developers and keep pushing for this idea with them. :nerd:

I’m with al the others here: would really appreciate proper integration of Deezer and BluOS after al these years. At least being able to see my favourite albums sorted by artist would help a lot in my search/listen experience. The current solution is chaotic.

Yours, Wouter

Hello!

Would be nice to have a proper BluOS support on Deezer. The BluOS Controller is nice but not as functional as the Deezer app. 

I’m very close to go to Spotify instead...

I’m very close to go to Spotify instead...

Well, since I last posted 1 year ago I’ve ditched Deezer and gone back to Tidal - even though I don’t like the structure, the sound or recommendations they offer. Why? ...simply because Tidal Connect WORKS! (and silly Spotify never did implement their promised Hi-Fi tier I was hoping for, so they won’t get my money until they do so).

On BluOS Tidal’s instantaneous, seamless and accessible. I can use it to hunt for and listen to new music that I then purchase via download or CD - simples.

A shame - I really liked Deezer.

Please update your interface on BluOS

At least give us basic listing options like date (older/newer fist), and alphabetic order. 

Also deezer on blueos refuses to show and play some songs on bluos as well. 

At least make deezer connect possible on bluos. .

It would be nice if the Deezer API would provide basic functionality as stated by Tiny Dancer. Jeez alphabetical order would be nice.

But many of the features of the Deezer app are awesome, yet not available to BluOS. The Flow available to BluOS is minimal compared to what is available in Deezer.

Deezer Connect? Has anything been to connect to BluOS devices?

At this point, the functionality is sub-par compared to Tidal/Tidal Connect… even though Deezer itself is much better… I plan to drop Deezer once my yearly subscription runs out.

Hello ​@lagunacreek Thanks for your post and sorry to hear that you are not getting the UX you would like to have.

Unfortunately, on Deezer Connect, there are no plans in the near future to implement new integrations.

I have shared with our Partnership team your feedback, and I just hope that some of this feedback left on this thread, could be considered.

It's very unfortunate to hear this... I am also a Bluesound user, and Deezer is always the most difficult to work with :( 

 

Recently it even completely stopped working because of a Deezer API change (as I was told from Bluesound support). 

 

Since then, I literally cannot use Deezer on Bluesound, which was the only reason I started using Deezer.
