Sonos Integration - Playlist Order

When listening to "Favorites Tracks" in the Sonos app, the music is listed from oldest to newest. When listening to "Favorites Tracks" using the Deezer app my favorites is listed from newest to oldest. Can you please update the Sonos app to list the music from most recent to oldest. It would provide for a better user experience which matches what we already get via the Deezer app or Online.

I contacted Sonos and they provided the below, which must be completed by Deezer:

Many thanks for getting in touch with us.

This is certainly good feedback, and although we cannot provide a timeline, we will be certain to take this on board.

As it happens all services on Sonos are developed by the music services themselves, by using our provided API, however, any features can be submitted by the service's own development team by following all necessary documentation, and developer support at this link.

When contacting Deezer they advise I post it here in the community.

Hey Mikey @MikeyV 

Thanks for coming here and contributing to this!

Two things: we're improving our integration within the Sonos app this year. And yes, we're also working on developing a feature like the one you mentioned above - however, this one is hard work, so it'll take several months for us to get it right. In any case, both are priorities for this year :relaxed:

@Rudi , thanks for the reply and welcome.

 

Apparently it's been already a few years Deezer is working on this?

I have been a premium user since July 2014. I have been seriously doubting to transfer everything (more then 1000 albums) to Spotify, just because they have this feature... I really hope you guys will come with some features on this the coming months. Certainly cause I'm going full digital now with all Sonos streamers…

 

Good luck with the process, hope you'll make it! 

 

Regards,

Mike

Yes, @MikeyV thank you!

We're actually planning a release in the next couple of months - we'll see how it goes. Because it's something we need to do with Sonos, it isn't as straightforward to plan a timeline and that, for example. We rely on them fitting in development work as well. But it's going well and like I said, we're hoping for updates very very soon. Don't transfer anything yet, I'm with you on this :wink:

Hi Rudi,

Any news on improved integration with Sonos and on controlling Sonos from Deezer app? This has been going on for such a LONG, LONG time now (years, in fact).

I appreciate you and others (including myself) have been waiting for a new integration @hal41 

However, we have been working on it for just a while now, and we're getting there. I haven't been given a timeline yet but I hope to have more information about it in the next couple of months. Obviously, if there's any info before then, I'll be sharing it with you :pray_tone2:

Thank you for your support and have a great weekend!

Any news? Why is it so difficult to feed the Deezer playlist to the sonos api in the same order it is last sorted in the deezer app or website? It seems to feed them in ‘manual order’ only. That means you need to shift them around track by track manually. This is a real pain.

Hey @Michael Cremona 

It's still work-in-progress, thank you for reporting and for your patience :pray_tone2:

Same issue for me, and the favorites is not working well as I have more than 500 tracks inside. Some are not visible in the list. I hope this will be fixed soon :)

Just purchased the HD feature for my sonos system, and seeing this issue being open for 3 years now is not inspiring confidence of having finally found an alternative to google music.

I have more than 1500 tracks in my favourite songs list, and it will obviously increase within the next period of listening to deezer. 

I hope this will be fixed soon :-/

 

anyway I will give it a chance, as the flow feature seems to be exactly what I was missing. But I don’t like important features like favourite lists not to work.
