Podcast transfer from other apps via OPML


Is it possible to import podcast subscription lists from other apps (eg Beyondpod) via the common OPML format? If not, could it be?

 

Thanks!

Hello @michael.c.cozens

Unfortunately, we do not have this function. 

You will have to re subscribe to your podcasts from our app :(

Thanks for the answer, Yula! That's unfortunate, as it represents a major hurdle for people who want to transition to Deezer for podcasts, since their existing libraries often run to hundreds of shows. I hope Deezer can find a way to emulate the excellent functionality of the "music transfer" program that Deezer works with. 

 

Thanks again for your attention to this matter, and your prompt reply!

Is it still not available? A lot of people will probably need this feature now as Google Podcast shuts down.

It could be a reason for me changing to YouTube music

not providing this is going to push me (and many others perhaps) away from Deezer. You are leaving an open goal here - a product roadmap miss imo. You really should get in a room and consider the reprioritisation of this - though perhaps already too late. Millions of users will be getting dumped out of Google podcast later this month and most will follow the breadcrumbs to stay in Alphabet world by porting to Youtube Music. Existing Deezer (music) customers could have been pulled over and made completely Deezer loyal with podcasts also going here. Now they will be lured into Youtube Music and more likely to go all in and cancel Deezer subs.

Product Manager take eye of the ball?

I'm surprised to read this. 

 

I know Deezer isn't in charge of what is uploaded but easing the transition would have been nice.
