Play music on Sonos from Deezer App

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 Rudi!

 

 I`m very happy with your answer!  I`ll be patient but I must admit that integration is really something I wished for years!  I`ll be more than happy to see that in real life.

 

Thanks!

Seeing loyal community members being feed with “tomorrows” for more than two years is very disturbing to say the least. Current way of listening to deezer on sonos is… well… lets say its cumbersome and VERY inconvenient. There is Deezer Labs, beta programm - show us something so we can stretch our patience a little bit further.

Thanks for the honest feedback, I get where you're coming from @AMironov - we're partners with Sonos for quite a while, so we've been working on a revamped experience through the integration. We were due to have it completed at some point in the next couple of months but other projects took a bit more time off this, we're now waiting for more updates. Don't worry, as soon as the community team gets more info, we'll be eager to share with you :v_tone2:

Ah ok, I understand. It's not possible to control Sonos from the Deezerapp. But I'm happy to pass your feedback on to the team 🙂

Hi Anja. It has now been teo years. since your answer. I have been a Deezer premium user for many years and just recently tried Spotify. It’s so cool and userfriendly that you directly on the Spotify app can choose to play the music from the Spotify app directly on any Sonos unit!! Howcome Deezer cannot add that feature to their app? It is extremely cumbersome to play music on a Sonos environment if you have a Deezer subscription. I’m seriously considering to change to Spotify if this easy play feature is not added to the deezer iOS app.

Also a multi-year Deezer subscriber. The lack of this ability very nearly drove me to finally cancel my subscription and just pick up Spotify. I don’t want to do this because I love Deezer, but the Sonos app is awful. Deezer, please please please listen to your customers.

Hey @jpb @Brian Danielsen 

We completely understand why this feature would be beneficial to you and our platform, we agree with you. We'll work on it, but for now, it isn't a priority.

Nevertheless, I've also mentioned above that we're working on a new integration with Sonos specifically. Stay tuned as, one way or another, we'll tackle this shortcoming for you :v_tone2:

How can we get this prioritized?  This thread has been going for 2 years.  This is the single feature keeping me from subscribing to Deezer.

This is a deal breaker for me as well. I just subscribed to deezer family to try out the service.

Playing music from deezer in the crappy sonos app is simply a non-sense. Not being able to switch deezer account in the sonos app doesn’t even make sense.

I guess, like some others, I’ll have to switch back to  your competitor. I might try your service again when you’ll provide a fix. Since this bug was open in 2017, I guess I’ll get back around 2023.

Shame since I trully think your service and business model is far better thant the others.

Wow.  I have just unsubscribed from Spotify to join Deezer, with a free trial.  I was recommended Deezer by a friend.  I use a Sonos system at work, in a bottle shop.  I will not be getting a premium account until this issue is resolved.  I simply don’t have time to fiddle around with the apps while also talking to paying customers and trying to do my job.  Also, if I play an Otis Redding album, I do not expect the tracks that follow to be modern chart music that my customers will hate, as will I.  I actually find it incomprehensible that I have read this whole thread without any clear indication of what is actually going on.
