Control Alexa from Deezer app

Just moving over from Spotify…

Has this two year old issue ever been fixed?

I can’t seem to find a way to control my music as streamed over my alexa devices.

Not having control is really not acceptable in a contemporary music service.

If not maybe I’ve got to go back to Spotify?

That would be too bad as I’m liking Deezer otherwise.

The fact that this is still marked "not for now" is disgraceful and shows Deezer has no committment to retaining market share. Musiccast and wiim and I'm sure many others work poorly because they are programmed for integration with Deezer poorly and fixing it is not a priority for them. So the only solution is for a true Deezer connect where you can use the app instead of third party integrated software. @Yula 

Was about to move from Spotify and realised I wouldn't be able to control music selection via my phone app. Seems issue isn't going to be resolved so Deezer isn't for me. Thank goodness I was on free month 

thanks for giving deezer a try. there are tradeoffs with every service and we all need to find what works for us.

cheers

Hi, I recently moved from Spotify to Deezer. I have several Echo speakers and an Echo Studio at home. I have found that the Deezer Skill for Alexa is very limited, I can only play music with my voice but I can't control playback from the App with Deezer Connect.
In the Spotify App, by tapping on Spotify Connect I can select the Echo speakers or rooms in the home where I want to listen to the music, and I can also control the playback, queue, and volume of the Echo speakers from the Spotify App itself. This is not possible with Deezer. I see no way to control Deezer playback on my Echo speakers. I am very disappointed.
I see this thread is 4 years old now and Deezer hasn't bothered to improve their Deezer Connect and Alexa Skill. I'll have to go back to Spotify in the end.

Absolutely agree…. 4 years and still no sign of its support 

It’s extremely disappointing that Deezer have still not implemented this feature. Back to Spotify I go.

I agree this is an important feature.

I was a previous youtube music subscriber, I switched to amazon because I got amazon speakers, so I was an amazon music subscriber. But I was not happy about the amazon music app and the choice of songs, so I am trying deezer family and plan to keep it because I like the app, the music it has and the sound quality. But that would be great to be able to use deezer connect to control my music on alexa devices...

Please add this to the roadmap, ability to control Deezer on an Alexa Enbled speaker from the app is a must for me.

I am trying Deezer and do like it (especially the High Fidelity stream, love it), would keep Deezer but unfortunately I miss the ability to use the app to control music like I was able to inSporify :-(
