I'm finding the Deezer "Plug in" to my Sonos ap difficult to use. I don't appear to be able to find new things and play them from there. I also can't find them in the normal Deezer app and "send" them to sonos. I have to find them in Deezer, set them as favourite, then go in to Sonos to play them. This is unwieldly. It also appears that you can not mark a "Mix" as a favourite meaning I can't play a mix through my Sonos. Any help available??

Years later 😉
is your agil backlog as long?
are there so many bugs to be patched first?
do you need all your time for operation and no time left for new features?
does your sprints take 12 month instead of two weeks?

sorry- but just tell us if this feature is planned for this year or next year or the year after next year or...

Still no direct play from the Deezer app to Sonos... and no word at all when it might happen... come on don't make me go sign up to Spotify to get this feature, I really like Deezer. 😟

Just to add my voice to those with this request. Spotify, and Google Play Music have this feature which is very practical. I actually prefer to listen to music from Google play music instead of deezer because of this feature, where, not only I cast the music to Sonos but I can chose the room from within the google play music app...

Come on management, get moving,
The solution already exists,
The coding and API are there.. (time consuming hard work)
Just money and contracts... 💩🏁👍

We will also renew if you promise by Xmas 👍🤔😂😂

This is extremely important and it’s even a deal breaker for me. Spotify does this flawlessly. Please add soon!

I have been a Spotify user since they were exclusively in Sweden, but thought it was time for a change.
So let it expire, and now signed up for a Deezer premium trial.

I had not expected this to be an issue.. I clearly took the ability to play directly on Sonos for granted.
Now the question is: Is this something Deezer will do within a reasonable timeframe ??

Using the Sonos App for musicbrowsing, is just not an option I can accept 😃

This topic is on the forums since years. And, they are developing this feature since at leat one year ...
I don't think we will have this feature one day. I don't know why. Is it at deezer side ? At Sonos side ?
So, you will have to continue to sing songs without the lyrics (not available on sonos), without the description of the artist or the album (not available on sonos), without the possibility to mark a song as favourite (not available on sonos), without ...
Nevertheless. Merry Christmas and see you in 2020 to "update" this topic.

So the assumption is that Deezer consider Sonos homes to be on Spotify.

If you like to sit in your living room and explore new playlists, browse artists or get lost in forgotten tracks of your life.. and listen to it all on your Sonos speakers, then Deezer do not consider you part of their customerbase.

I can recommend to use Spotify, it plays directly on your Sonos.
Better search and better usability will be your pleasant surprises.

Anyway, I will give Deezer a few more months, and if I keep being annoyed, I'm sure Spotify will accept me in again.

Happy Holidays.

I bought a Sonos for my wife’s Christmas. Deezer works - sort of. The interface is terrible! You can’t find your music! Only frustration! Wish I didn’t buy it and can’t believe Deezer has been working on a solution for over 9 months! Should I switch to Spotify?? I guess, yes.

I want to add my voice to this too. I've been frustrated with the fact that I have to use the Sonos app to play music from my Deezer subscription and that I cannot use my personal playlist from Deezer in the Sonos app.

Are your developers really working on a solution?

As time goes on I will be more and more tempted to give other music service a try...
