To me, Bandsintown is the killer app for music tastes in the cloud. But Deezer doesn’t have Bandsintown integration because the Deezer API does not allow Bandsintown to get the information it needs to update your music profiles for them.
I’m not necessarily going to switch to Spotify because I just don’t like supporting monopolies, but at the least the lack of Bandsintown integration makes me reluctant to use Deezer as much because there is not that gamification incentive to keep adding to my favorites and playlists in order to get that picked up by Bandsintown.
In short, the lack of Bandsintown integration allowed by the Deezer API makes me reluctant to do any extra looking for new music and therefore to use Deezer more. Spotify has it, so it’s technically possible.
Hello@norbula
This is a very good point and has been a topic of discussion in the company.
We are thinking of such an integration, so hold still!
Thanks a lot for sharing your thoughts with us.
I too am look forward to this!
If you are interested in recommended events in your neighbourhood based on your Deezer listening, you could also scrobble it to Last.fm which has a section for events, too.
