Play music on Sonos from Deezer App
I'm finding the Deezer "Plug in" to my Sonos ap difficult to use. I don't appear to be able to find new things and play them from there. I also can't find them in the normal Deezer app and "send" them to sonos. I have to find them in Deezer, set them as favourite, then go in to Sonos to play them. This is unwieldly. It also appears that you can not mark a "Mix" as a favourite meaning I can't play a mix through my Sonos. Any help available??

I agree that it's not ideal that you can only add albums/playlist to the Sonos favourites rather than adding them to your Deezer profile.
I'm happy to pass this on to the team. I will also move this topic to our ideas section since this is not a bug but a feature request 🙂
Is one year since I use Sonos, is ok but I really don't like the fact that I have to go through Sonos App to play my Deezer music I really hate it. In fact, I don't use it too much because of that. In the end, I grab my headphones.
My girl uses Spotify and she can play it directly!!! How cool is that?
Same problem! Please check and join my Sonos Suggestion Post. Thanks!
Cheers,

Spotify has "Spotify Connect" which means if your device supports it you can connect directly via their app. Unfortunately Spotify's app is awful and you have to remember a bunch of gestures to get any control of it, I find simple things like clearing the queue, enqueuing songs, making and editing playlists quite a challenge. The prime place of the "Shuffle" button instead of a simple "Play" button was a deal breaker for me. Also Spotify doesn't offer lossless(HiFi) streaming.
I would also prefer to use Deezer with wifi speakers directly, I'll add this under ideas if it's not already there : )
I think Deezer really has an edge over the other services mentioned as not only do you offer lossless streaming (like Tidal) but your music selection, curated playlists and features set you apart from the rest. Having said that, Tidal and Spotify (amongst others) offer control of Sonos from within their native apps, something I would certainly welcome as I know others would.
From the first screen you see when interacting with Deezer on Sonos all the way through to the Now Playing screen, Deezer feels like it’s been left behind. Apple Music and Spotify offer a ‘home page’ with branded imagery, like a splash screen and bespoke buttons, Deezer offers a list! Apple Music offer the artwork and descriptions that go with playlists in the playlist page, Deezer doesn’t even offer the playlist artwork. Right down to the Now Playing screen… Spotify, Apple Music, TuneIn etc… all have the logo at the top of the screen when a song/station from their service is playing, Deezer has nothing. When Apple Music is playing a playlist it says ‘XXXXX on Apple Music’, when Apple Music or Spotify is playing a radio stream it says the same.
I have included images of everything I have mentioned here and would happily test or offer further examples if required but as a real fan and paying subscriber of Deezer I would love to see these additions so you don’t get left behind by the competition.
We appreciate your great input. We are working on this feature, hopefully we have it soon implemented 😉
We will update you whenever we have news 😉
With Tidal, I really liked being able to send what I had on my phone to my headphones or any one of my sonos speakers.
With Amazon, I like that the dots can just play Amazon music, I don't think only the echo can play from other sources maybe.
I like that deezer has a hulu app, as now I can play music from hulu as well. I like the lyrics feature in the deezer app too, but Ilose that plus have to bounce between interfaces when sending to headphones vs. speakers.
I just started my 3 month trial...would love to see this integration in the future. I would probably move to family in the future as I have 3 growing kids to please as well.
Thanks!
I hope the Deezer team takes it seriously.
A rethorical question to your marketing: How do you want your customers to perceive streaming music?
a) my Sonos speakers integrate with internet streaming services?
b) my Deezer app integrates with wireless speakers?

We appreciate your great input. We are working on this feature, hopefully we have it soon implemented ;)
Add Heos system also, please!
is your agil backlog as long?
are there so many bugs to be patched first?
do you need all your time for operation and no time left for new features?
does your sprints take 12 month instead of two weeks?
sorry- but just tell us if this feature is planned for this year or next year or the year after next year or...
The solution already exists,
The coding and API are there.. (time consuming hard work)
Just money and contracts...
We will also renew if you promise by Xmas
