Control Alexa from Deezer app

I thought I would give Deezer a try as an alternative to Spotify. I was using it for about 5 minutes, then realized I can’t control Alexa from the Deezer app on my phone. Now I see that this issue was brought up many years ago, and the developers do not care about the need of users. So, after the free trial, heading back to Spoti 🤷‍♂️

Pensei em migrar do Spotify para o Deezer mais por falta dessa função de controlar minha alexa me desanimei bastante.. provavelmente eu volte para o spotify

Hello ​@Anyia ​@Roland9702 ​@Suzyyx! Thanks for sharing your experience.

Hopefully, the developers will listen and make this a priority soon.

Thanks for your feedback!

Deezer integration to Alexa is a hoje. 

Just signed up for the seven day trial and am immediately disappointed I can’t select any Alexa speakers from within the Deezer app, a feature I use on Spotify all the time. Sad to day I won’t be signing up until this is resolved

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

best of luck wherever you land.

Hi, I'm moving to Deezer from Spotify and I'm currently using the free month subscription but the integration with Alexa is really unsatisfactory.

Do you have any real plan to implement it? Thanks.

Hey there ​@robeagle 

As you see above, one of the community managers updated this topic a couple months ago, but there is no firm timeline for any changes to the existing integration.

As you've probably seen, Alexa can be used with deezer with voice commands and also by setting up convenient routines.

There's obviously a reason you’re leaving Spotify, so perhaps you will weigh the benefits deezer offers versus an integration with Alexa that you were used to.

I switched over from Echo/Alexa to Sonos a while back and I’m quite happy with the improved sound quality and the platform-agnostic nature of Sonos. I also appreciate not having the ever-looming specter of an Alexa subscription on the horizon.

Whatever you decide, thanks for giving deezer a try. There are trade-offs with every service and we all need to find what works for us.

Best of luck wherever you land.

This is a feature that's being asked for the past 5 years, that simply works on services like Spotify and Amazon Music.

I was looking forward to trying Deezer and switching from Spotify, but now it seems like not an option. 

When will this happen. Seems obvious it is needed. Shortsighted of Deezer to overlook.
