Deezer plugin for Volumio 3

Totally agree!!!

This is a “quick win”, to get added value to Deezer as competition is already there with plugins provided!

Personally I would stick with Deezer inna long run if I know I’m able to utilize it in Volumio as software solution that alread passed the test of time and quality!

I believe it would be also useful from economic point of view because “hifi” subscription plan has more added value. I would definitely think to upgrade it once I can easily stream deezer to my hifi setup.

I use Volumio over raspberry pi with a special DAC  ( like a lot of people do)  through my house and mainly with Spotify as there is a plugin for it, i can sadly not use Deezer without correct plugin, other wise i would switch to it.

OK, I just ditched spotify to come to Deezer, and plan to stay, BUT I use volumio.

Big problem !

I have voted for deezer integration with Volumio.

I don’t know how long I can last.

I’d love to subscribe to Deezer and streaming using volumio.

This problem exist since long time.
Deezer used to have an SDK, but it is no longer maintained.
Unfortunately they only support their Web based players, what is not really a good solution on slower computers. A C(++) SDK would be nice to have finally, but they just won’t create it. I think, they will loose some users (including me), because Spotify is well supported everywhere and slowly they will offer the same audio quality (if not yet).

I wrote Volumio with the question of not including Deezer in their service. The answer is straightforward, and I quote, “Deezer stopped replying to our email”.

What kind of attitude is this?

Just for your interest, or lack of it, I also have a Qobuz membership, and yesterday I compared 2 HQ audio albums with from Qobuz and Deezer via the same speakers and amplifier, just that Qobuz runs on Volumio with an Asus Tinkerboard and a Topping DX3pro DAC and Deezer with an Nvidia Shield. The difference in audio quality was very big in favour of the Qobuz setup with the DAC and Volumio.

Writing a Plug-in (Linux) can surely be not so costly, difficult and time-consuming to implement into Volumio.

I love both audio steaming services very much due to the differential content, but paying for the Deezer HIFI will no longer be of interest to me when this is not resolved in a few months. I guess I’m not alone with my observation.

I’m a Deezer Hifi user and am currently streaming through Sonos Connect into my system. I am planning to upgrade to a more audiophile streamer without DAC (e.g. ifi Zen streamer). Sadly, Deezer is typically not supported in the higher-end devices. I am reluctant to switch to Tidal (everybody supports Tidal) since I am very satisfied with Deezer. Deezer is not small and has many customers world-wide. Thus, I really hope they provide more support for users with highly resolving systems.

Bidjan, I have Qobuz running on Volumio with an Asus Tinkerbox (Arm based SBC) connected via USB to a Topping Dx3Pro DAC. The HiRes sound is simply magnificent and it all is fairly low cost. No need for Chromecast which is for me on a lower resolution. Since the iFi Zenstreamer is running over Chromecast you can fill in the … (dots).
