Hi there!

would be great if you could provide a plugin for LMS. Since it is easy to install on Raspberry Pi (e.g. PiCorePlayer) and many HiFi output-options exist it would enhance your support for audiophile listeners! At least: provide some details for the login process so that the community can work on a plugin.

Thanks in advance!

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.

I tried to contact Deezer developers on X (@DeezerDevs) without any response...

With regrets, I cancelled my deezer premium suscription. Going to qobuz or tidal because we have now two hifi/hires streaming providers available without msb.com.

Maybe I will go again with deezer if a plug-in is available.

I listen to Deezer HiFi on my competent speakers that enable high quality sound reproduction. LMS via a Raspberry Pi is my source, ab cheap, reliable and easy to use device. If the community effort to provide a new integration after mysqueezebox shutdown fails due to missing support by Deezer’s technical department, I will cancel the family HiFi subscription.

I kindly request the technical department to provide a solution ASAP.

Deja vu! I moved to Deezer in 2017 after Spotify support for LMS was withdrawn at short notice due to an API change. I’ve been really happy with Deezer and have advocated them to friends and family.

Ironically, Spotify support was reinstated. However, given their response or lack thereof at the time, I’m more inclined to switch to Qobuz, if Deezer can’t be pursuaded that there is a thriving community using LMS that they’ll miss out on.

Customer Loyalty is a hard won thing!

If Deezer fails to deliver I will switch to Qobuz. Spotify and Tidal are no-gos for me.

I will definitely not buy different hardware just to please Deezer.

I'm paying for a service and if they don't know how to satisfy their customers, then they will lose them. That's how the open market works.

I had a great time with Deezer and would be actually a little sad if I had to leave, but I am not eager on wasting my money.

Same here: I have signed up for a Qobuz account when the announcement from logitech came out. I migrated all my favorites with the free soundiiz account you get when you sign up. The LMS plug-in for qobuz works flawlessly. Unfortunately nothing comparable to deezer flow, but better than no music at all or having to invest in completely different hardware.

I will cancel my deezer account end of February when mysqueezebox.com will be shutdown if there is no action on Deezer side to enable the community to develop a LMS plug-in. Very sad.

Hello,

Thank you for your idea!

IMHO, It’s better to ask for public APIs that cover all the functionalities offered by Deezer or any kind of solution allowing to get the same result. Why? By doing that you offer a lot of possibilities to the communitie. Moreover It will probably touch more Deezer users as it will allow to solve several issues:

Allow third party Hifi Devices (Sonos, Bluesound, Wiim, Denon, Octavio, Sonoro, Nuprime, Triangle, Zidoo...) to benefit from all the Deezer functionalities → This point touches quite a lot of people. Currently, on third party devices, the Deezer functionalities are really poor compared to what you have with the smartphone/tablet app.
The use of Deezer via the existing Logitech Squeezebox
The use of Deezer via Squeezelite → For devices like Raspberry Pi and all the devices on which you could use Squeezelite
The use of Deezer on Raspberry Pi directly without Squeezelite and LMS or any other devices with the appropriated app (to be developped)

You also have a higher probability to see Deezer doing something, ‘one thing’ that will preserve a bigger amount of users / reccuring fees / subscriptions.

One thing is sure, if there is no solution I will have no other choice and will change for another music service (Qobuz, Spotify).

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.

I just moved to Spotify after 10 years using Deezer. I can‘t understand why Deezer ist not providing an API like Spotify does. I had to move because mysqeezebox.com will close in February and there is no plugin for Deezer for LMS. Now I run LMS on a raspberry pi4 with picoreplayer and spotty plugin. The Spotty plugin interface is even better as the Deezer interface ever was. I moved all my playlists from Deezer to Spotify with an app called songshift, which worked perfectly. I loved Deezer but they don‘t understand that they are loosing clients with a non open API. Good bye Deezer.
