Since today I’m back to Spotify. And pay for it just because of this single feature.

drop me an email once it’s available on deezer and I’ll promise to come back.

Salut!

Come on team, this single feature is making a lot of difference for a lot of people between choosing wether to use Spotify or Deezer, and as of right now anyone who needs this feature is forced to go with spotify.

I just switched to Deezer recently, and I’m deeply missing this feature I’ve got to be honest.

Any update from the team after 8 months from the last update?

This is the reason I wont continue with Deezer after the test period is out. Remote is a must have.

Agree a remote is a must but honestly Deezer is being slowly pushed out of the streaming market, it’s single redeeming feature being Flow……...tidal has HD music and just launched tidal connect and will hopefully continue to improve under new ownership; Spotify has connect and have plans to introduce HD music; Amazon introduced HD music in the last year and if it introduces a remote that will be my first preference also wouldn’t be surprised to see Apple announce HD music soon in reaction to Spotify.

Any updates on this topic?

Just signed up for the 3 month freebie, cancelling my subscription already and going back to Spotify because of this.  

I am looking forward to have this feature that they’re still working on

Cancelled because of a lack of this feature. These users won't return once you've lost them to other platforms.

Ludicrous mis-prioritization by whoever the product owner is on this project...

Same here. So annoying use the Sonos app instead the official deezer app.

Come on crew, we’re aching for an update on Deezer Connect, please! :)

My free trial is over soon and I LOVE Deezers algorithm and app but I probably will go back to Spotify because of this missing feature. It’s so annoying to use multiple devices and SONOS-Products without this feature. 

Do let me know when the feature is integrated, then I’ll be back and gladly pay.

Adding my vote to this idea. My use case for this is simply letting music play on my PC which has its own (better) speakers while being able to control it anywhere in my room. Usually I let streaming services play while I’m in bed (for example). Quite annoying having to keep getting up to control the app on PC.

I like Deezer’s UI so far, probably even more than Spotify, I have no problems with playback and I even paid for Deezer HiFi, but usability-wise this is a core feature for me. Not sure what is being worked on/prioritized on the app right now, but it looks like this feature will still be sitting in the backlog for a while and I don’t see a plan to start implementing this in the near future from the comments, so I won’t be continuing my subscription after it ends. I’ll be keeping an eye if there’s an update for this.

I hope see deezer connect soon

I subscribed to Tidal to try it out.

There direct connection to Node2i is very buggy on Andoid

but there is something more disturbing : There are a lot of songs which recently disappeared from  Deezer that I found on Tidal

that is a real push factor.

I keep both for few weeks to make my mind.

I came here from Spotify also. I appreciate an official response to this post. It’s better to be told “Sorry, but probably not.” than ghosting us with a no-reply like Spotify. Tally me in for a “Yes, please.” on this feature.

I got a message today that they'll roll out a beta for ios with deezer connect, official statement should follow today! 

Really? I have Android, but it's still great news. The question is how long the software update will take on the supported devices.

I left Deezer a long time ago, but suddenly remembered about this topic and decided to stop by to see how the new feature was progressing. And suddenly - half an hour ago there was an announcement! Fateful.

I come from Spotify and I wondered about this feature missed in Deezer (remote control). I know that Deezer has recently deployed the IOS feature, what a pitty for Android users…. the major market in the world… the popular market . I can wait the trial month before decide continue or move to another app, I really use the remote control between android and chrome browsers, there is some roadmap specific date for that?

Controlling one browser from another browser or an app please! Like rdio had years ago. My pre-schooler could use it. Flawless!

Chromecast depends on using the one subnet. The casting device drops off often. 

Bluetooth relies on proximity, "Do not disturb" and lots of battery.

Hello,

While develping "Deezer Connect" feature can you also consider preparing *.deb package for RaspberryPi operating systems that are based on Debian?

It would be great to have e.g. in DietPi OS a package that could be installed with dietpi-software application like Spotify Connect https://dietpi.com/docs/software/media/#raspotify

Thanks in advance and looking forward for this great feature ;-)

Cheers,
Przemek

4 years and you still haven't done it. Unbelievable!
