With Spotify on my Google home, if I request by voice that it play my Christmas Playlist, it’ll play that playlist and if I open up my phone, there it is on Spotify, playing that playlist that I just requested and I’ll be able to control it from there!

But with Deezer, Google Home will announce that it’s playing my Christmas Playlist from Deezer but if I open the app on my phone, it’ll just be showing the last thing I played on my phone. And I have no control of the music playing from the Google Home.

It’s the ONE THING left making me want to stay with Spotify. I know it’s a creature comfort but it’s much more seamless.

So my question is, am I doing something wrong? Should it be doing that and my app is broken? Or is this a known issue?

Hello there.

It’s not an “issue,” Spotify Connect is a feature that only they have. None of the other streaming services have it.

The industry is competitive and every service tries to set itself apart in some way, sometimes at the expense of other features.

If you value this over the feature set offered by deezer (HiFi audio, Flow, songcatcher, editor-curated playlists, etc.) then Spotify might be your choice.

Best of luck with whatever you decide.

So is syncing across devices something that Deezer won’t plan to do at all?

@neon drifter I can’t speak to that, but as I wrote, no one else has this feature, not even the streaming giants Apple, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, et al.

all of deezer’s advantages outweigh that single feature for me, but we all have to decide for ourselves.

I didn’t know that about all the other services honestly. Does Spotify have a patent on it or something???
