As of now Deezer is still working very well on LMS with picoreplayer, for how long nobody seems to know?

Hi All,

Just been on the Logitech Forum and read on a post that the mysqueezebox server will be closing down at the END of February 2024.

Quote: “If you continue using mysqueezebox.com you will continue to see the QR code this; can't be turned off. Switch to a local LMS and you'll quit seeing it (except for Pandora, Deezer, and Tidal, where it will continue). But that should be gone by end of February with the shutdown of mysb.com, because those services will not be available.”

Cheers

Deezer really are missing a trick with their seeming reluctance/inability to get themselves embedded into all of these new streaming products, and I include LMS in that. Amazing that they can afford to give up those potential revenue streams - maybe they have too much money already. If I were a shareholder I’d be asking questions about why they are not looking at these opportunities.

I’ve just signed up with Qobuz, it was so easy to install the LMS plugin, maybe they are just not smart enough to be able to provide the right tools to allow integration with LMS.

From sounds of some replies I have seen from Deezer it sounds like the think LMS is a dead discontinued ecosystem.

i think they have missed fact LMS is a currently thriving community developed system that has been community developed for many years and also underpins some hi-fi specific distros like Daphile,  it also has new hardware available and plenty of options for mini pc’s or rasp pi’s to act as end points for playback and multi room systems

come on Deezer, community just needs some support with some api info to come together and get a plugin running to keep Deezer access available on LMS.  Its not like it needs you to develop a plugin, just reach out with some info to help.

Completely agree with you. Maybe it’s time to try and get past their support bots and try and get the attention of their development leads.

I’m going to message their head dev via LinkedIn and see if I can get a response.

So the LMS community have been working on a Tidal and Pandora plugins - with initial success for both.  The odd one out? Deezer!

I have been trying Qobuz and Spotify with LMS and both work very well. I would recommend other Squeezebox / LMS users to switch. Like many audiophiles on here, we would prefer to stay using Deezer, but given the fact that Deezer login is no longer supported via LMS, it makes sense to abandon Deezer forever. It’s a shame because I originally chose Deezer as it had the best cross platform device support but that is no longer the case. 

Currently trialling Qobuz - some tracks available in Deezer are not available in Qobuz however that’s kinda offset by the Qobuz HD content which sounds pretty good.

Not only users like that, it will also help any users still with squeezebox devices too.

i have a mix of radio, boom, sb3, transporter and LMS running on daphile on a fanless pc.  I use transporter rather than pi solution as it allows me to clock lock my dac to be master clock so suits my hi-fi nicely.  
 
so we have all the new users, and all the old users and a lot of mix in between.

Also contacted Deezer via Facebook and explained tech support seem to think it’s a dead system but explained LMS is community developed and thriving and hoped they could pass info to correct people.

they replied saying they had contacted correct department and passed the info on to correct person.  They also suggested voting on here was also a good idea.
