Play music on Sonos from Deezer App

Hi @Nathalie Marshall, what do you mean by you can't find new things? There is a "picked for you" and "explore" category in Deezer on Sonos.

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 🙂

Sorry I mean I want to go and find something specific and then play it directly to my sonos without having to make it a favourite and then switch apps. I can't do this in either the Deezer app or the Sonos app Deezer plugin

Ah ok, I understand. It's not possible to control Sonos from the Deezerapp. But I'm happy to pass your feedback on to the team 🙂

Play from the Deezer App Straight to Sonos (Wireless Speakers System).
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?

Hi Nathalie,
Same problem! Please check and join my Sonos Suggestion Post. Thanks!
Cheers,

It's the same with Yamaha MusicCast, I have to use Deezer via the Yamaha MusicCast app.

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 : )

Exactly why I returned my Sonos speakers and got Denon HEOS. Direct connection from Spotify. You can add chromecast audio to your Sonos speakers and this will eliminated the Sonos App

Tidal has it also now. when is it going to reach Deezer?

Agreed, This would be a really good feature!

I wanted to comment regarding Deezer’s integration with Sonos and the fact that the Sonos brand has really moved on and offers some fantastic, innovative, integrations which services like Apple Music, Spotify and Tidal have embraced but I sadly feel that Deezer hasn't.

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.
