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??

... Controlling Sonos from the Deezer app would mean I stick with Deezer and don't go back to Spotify; simple as that. It would be helpful to have a timeline on this if possible. If not, I may drift away. Thanks.

Me too. I prefer Deezer to Spotify but the inability to search within my saved albums from the Sonos app (possible within the Deezer app and really, really important if you listen to classical music where there are many recordings of the same work) is killing the experience for me.

Please give us an indication of whether this is going to happen and when.

Hey there @chezkidd

@0b5cur1ty

Thanks for the input and support, guys. We're unable to give you a specific date but I can assure you that we're working on this one. We've released our synchronised queue-lists recently, which was the first stage of a big process. And that ends with more control from our app. As soon as we get an update about this suggestion, we'll let you know.

+1 to adding connect capability to the ios app a la Spotify to allow direct play to Sonos speaker without airplay. I think the Deezer implementation in Sonos iOS is poor and from the Deezer app much nicer. Spotify app does it well but no sound quality like Deezer. I have play 3 which are non airplay 2.
from what I read it’s been a long wait!
much requested feature. Get on it.

Same thing for me. I want to be able to play my deezer music directly to sonos. I am tired of waiting for something that is not coming. I just subscribed the the free premium account on spotify to try and see if it works better from there. If it does, then bye bye Deezer.

Hi there @qgausset

Thank you for your honest feedback. It'll be a real shame to see you go. We're still working towards a new device discovery integration - so all we can do is ask for a bit more patience. I know it's a lot to ask, but we're working hard not to disappoint you any longer :pray_tone2:

Adding my voice to the request here. We have the family subscription and love the extent of the music library. However, seamless integration to streaming devices like Sonos are vital to get best use of the service. Spotify seem to be better at partnering. Please catch-up as we want to stay with Deezer but not at a disadvantage. David.

Hi there @DMCooling

We want the same. Hopefully we'll be solving this issue soon, we're expecting updates :wink:

Thank you for your support!

@Rudi can you clarify what the problem with the integration is/was?
As Spotify has done it some time ago, it can’t be that difficult, can it be?
Or is it maybe a political/financial thing?
Two years is a quite long time for such a deal breaking feature in the tech world.

Would like to switch to Deezer, but not without the possibility of casting music to Sonos directly from the app as Spotify does :)

Hey @PreNoob

Our integration currently has a few major bugs. By using Google's new CAF protocol, we'll be able to provide a more robust integration. It's more of an upgrade :thumbsup_tone2:
