Equivalent of Jams / Group sessions, NOT shaker

Hey there ​@Gauthier Leclercq 

While Shaker and collaborative playlists, as well as other features like music quizzes, have considerably enhanced deezer’s ability to share and enjoy music with others, I agree that Jam is different. I don’t find myself needing that function, but we all listen to music differently.

There's obviously a very valid reason you’re leaving Spotify, so perhaps you will weigh the benefits deezer offers versus the Jam feature that you were used to.

I agree with many of the reasons I see people leaving Spotify for, and I think it is important that we consider these things when supporting businesses.

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.

Hi! Yes sorry I should have made clear that deezer is already very cool and full of  amazing features, very convincing already. My point was just that this is THE feature that is missing for me and for some on my surroundings. 

I did the exact same switch from Spotify to Deezer recently and I'm also really missing Spotify's Jam sessions. I hope Deezer will implement something similar at some point.

plase make a jam maybe a web interface where you can add songs even without an account

miss this feature for years

The Jams feature is a huge reason why a lot of people won’t switch to deezer surprisingly. It is such an amazing feature though and Deezer would definitely benefit from adding it. Being able to listen along with friends anywhere is so much fun! I really really do miss Jams 

Honestly, Deezer really needs to implement Jams if they want to capitalize on people migrating from Spotify. The Jams feature is an extremely social and enjoyable feature. No reason not to mimic it.

I second this functionnality. I see it has been postponed but do we have a date when this may be implemented ?

I haven't seen a date or even a confirmation that this functionality is coming. I've seen Deezer admins mark it to "not for now" but without any further explanation.

I also moved from spotify, and used the Jam feature quite frequently, i've already sent a ticket support to request it, but just bumping to get more eyes on this. We love using jam to listen to songs in the car and at home on the sound system, and not having to rely on only one device.

 

And No, shaker is not even close to jam.

+1 that this shouldn't be marked “not for now.”

I switched to Deezer because Spotify is evil, but realistically Deezer is neutral at best so your position is not that secure. Still considering switching to Qobuz - only reason I didn't initially is bad reviews of their recommendations algo and lack of features, but have since decided to shift my music listening patterning away from algo recs and generated playlists so realistically there's not much keeping me here. An actual equivalent of jams would be a factor to tempt me to stay, and would also make it much easier to convince several of my friends to switch too.

I absolutely agree with this, I’ve just switched from Spotify for similar reasons and I am really missing jams, my whole family has swapped so it’s a feature we used to use a lot (especially in the car when deciding what music to play) so I’d really like to see this implemented at some point.

We were currently also considering to switch to Deezer. But the missing possibility for jams and also just the feature that i can skip a song on my mobile when Deezer is playing on the computer, makes Deezer for us a non-option. Otherwise Deezer would be our choice.

PS: The foundation for remote control is basically already there... If I skip to the next track on my mobile, it stops playback on the computer and shows a message that Deezer is already used on another device. Why not just execute the instruction i gave on the computer instead of stopping playback..?

Long message sorry.

tl;dr

Deezer is cool! I'm here to stay, multi source session is a must have in 2026 (please PMs reconsider)

--------------

As a Spotify refugee I have to say I find Deezer to have a very good catalog. There is no song I can think of I could not find here and I'm not exactly listening to mainstream music. 

I also like the overall "mood"  of Deezer 

The app on the other hand is making the whole experience less enjoyable. If you have a recent phone with decent specs you're mostly ok and won't feel a really difference compared to Spotify. If your phone is aging (as my wife's FP3+) then everything feels bloated and lag-ish... To be fair FP3 is known to provide a rather bad experience not only with Deezer so... Take my words lightly here 

However, jam is a feature that would benefit deezer's customer base as whole.

I hear the argument that everyone listens to music differently but I think it would be also fair to recognize that such feature allow for more interactive and realtime music sharing. I also use Shaker as I'm preparing a party for my wife end of this month. That's useful to prepare ahead of time but let's be honest: this is not quite the same thing as being capable of joining an ongoing music stream without hijacking the speaker or the phone. 

I'm not evaluating moving back. As said, one has to weight the pros and cons, but I think it's unfair to not recognize the value in this feature request. Neither is it fair to flag "not for now" without providing more context. I work in software development and it really sounds like "ok let's mute Spotify refugees and put ticket in the backlog, where it will sit forever". If that's a "won't do" and you have other priorities that's a very valid point in that case I'd love to see the app roadmap (I don't know if that's something you would publicly share).

Keep up the good work.
