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??

Hi there @SS's Deezer 

Thanks for the feedback. Yes, those are exclusive features of our app at the moment. But I'll let the teams know you'd like the feature on Sonos too :wink:

First off thanks to @Rudi for replying. It makes the waiting much easier (still hard though, don’t get me wrong).

My reason for Sonos integration is this use case: somebody says “play Lords of the Boards”. If you play it on the Deezer app, the app just continues playing afterward with new songs, that are “similar” in some way to the first one. It’s like you had a DJ that understood you. The party can continue, this is awesome.

On Sonos, you say “play Lords of the Boards from Deezer”, it just plays one song! Then it stops. Everyone goes home. Sad times.

Hi there @duality_ 

Thanks for your feedback - much appreciated. We've been told that our Sonos integration will get a revamp at some point this year. So we can expect an update on this. I'll let you know more once I get more info too.

I have recently bought a Sonos speaker, but I've been an old time user and Deezer fan (till now just free, but of course for Sonos I've subscribed for 1 year). 
I really need the feature to cast from native Deezer app to my Sonos speaker, as soon is possible.

I'm a software developer so I know how this world works, but to ask your final users to wait 2 years (or more) for a requested and voted new feature (that your competitor has) well, is no such a good idea :sweat:

However, wish a good work and happy coding! :nerd:

Thank you for your honest and detailed feedback @Reekoz we've been developing a new cast integration for over 9 months. I'll be passing your comments to our team :thumbsup_tone2:

Patience is wearing thin, solutions for this and Chromecast have long been coming, and I am starting to explore other options. My yearly renewal is coming up soon, and I'm not sure I can justify the price with the limitations, which include the above plus Family with HiFi. I love Deezer, but coming soon for months and months is not something I want to put up with any more.

You're right @Redster, it's been taking quite some time. But we still need a bit more time now at the beginning of the year to get things right. Thank you for your utmost patience.

Perhaps cancel the annual sub, and maybe subscribe to pay monthly - that way you can test the new version of the integration when it's out, without losing your favourites :thumbsup_tone2:

Why??? Just fix the issue of playing direct from Deezer app, it'll save a bunch of time and stop you being distracted from the main task

Yep @jlhunter70. That's the idea and we're developing the feature. But we need more time before it's done like I've mentioned to you in the other thread.
