Deezer uploaded MP3's to be able to cast to Google Home Devices


I’ve had a transition from Google Play Music (which worked perfectly for all I wanted to do) to Youtube Music through the forced migration and had one day of Spotify before settling on Deezer. 


So far. So good. However, a couple of newbie suggestions if I may….

Please sort the larger playlist shuffling issue on Google Home Devices. It shuffles the first 20 or so songs and it frustrates no end & Yes, I’m using the ‘workaround’ of casting from a local device but the reality is I shouldn’t have to. I have uploaded mp3’s in the playlist and I want to listen to them which leads onto…..

Just enable the casting issue for uploaded mp3’s already. It clearly does not have to do with legal restrictions as I was able to do the same on both Google Play Music and Youtube. I am settling into Deezer but these two niggles are a pain. Yes there is a workaround but when I am paying you £180 a year, I don’t want a ‘workaround’, I want it to work. 

Furthermore, I can play the uploaded mp3s via a voice command so again, cannot fathom how that can be possible as the source and endpoint are exactly the same. 

As I said, I’m settling into Deezer and on the whole it is working for me. However, I certainly don’t think like most who have been forced away from Google Music, the comparative issues above are helping. Sort these out and I can only foresee a really tidy package that would deliver what we want as users. 

 

 

Hey @norfolkarsenal 

Thank you for your detailed and honest feedback.

I'll be forwarding this to the relevant teams at Deezer and will be changing the status of your idea as well.

Please don't forget to suggest this on other topics so that users can help prioritising it by vote :wink:

I so much agree! I cannot see why I shouldn't be able to cast my own MP3 files to the chromecast audio. It doesn't make sense, and it reduces the freedom to fill in what is missing in the Deezer library, which is my I chose Deezer in the first place. 


One year later, this one's still in discussion. Why? 😞


please fix!


HI all,

I just tried this functionality for the first time today.

Found out that casting does not work, indeed. 😐 Very disappointing...

But, also Scrobbling to Last.FM does not work with own uploaded MP3s. is this a known bug?
