I also want to switch to deezer. Unfortunately deezer lags of this connect feature. I have used it with spotify heavily in combination with amazon fire stick and spotify app. This is really a dealbreaker for me.

Same for me...wanted better sound than I get from Spotify so signed up yesterday. Not having the remote control feature is a deal breaker for me too.  Can’t see what the issue is as you are only streaming one device at a time still. Can this not be implemented? (otherwise I’ll be checking out Tidal)

Hi @Rudi  do we have any update on the Device Discovery module? I know Deezer gets quite a bit of stick over this, I love Deezer and will remain loyal , but your big green rival has this feature and to be honest, it is a draw, I used to have Spotify years ago and it was there then!!

I look forward to some exciting news...

Hi @Stingraynl, hi @dockland_hh, hi @Shanksta, hi @Steven.Emberson we are very very sorry that remote control Deezer music on another device / Device discovery is not meeting your expectations :(

We are very sad to say that developing this feature had to be put On-Hold in light of the technical challenges we’ve been facing; our developers had been working hard on it for several months. However, we are still collecting user voices - so please make sure you voted for it at the top of page 1.

Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Thanks for the feedback here as well @Stingraynl we'll pass it on to the right teams here 

Hi Pia. 

Please make this highest priority at Deezer. This is the only reason why I haven’t made the switch to Deezer yet from Spotify. This is a dealbreaking feature - I would instantly subscribe to the highest tier subscribtion (HiFi) if there would be the exact same feature as Spotify Connect integrated in Deezer. 

I love the lyrics feature, I love Deezer. But without the connect feature its useless for me. It destroys the entire user experience. If I come home with spotify - music flawlessly goes over to my SONOS device no hickups, restarts of songs nothing. It just works and is great. This has to be in Deezer. It surely would make many people switch - as Deezer otherwise is actually really great and can easily compete with Spotify (especially with the Lyrics and HiFi Features) but without the flawless conntect integreation it is not. 

Hey @mnkdk 

Passed your comments, word by word, to our product teams. Your feedback is crucial for us to take another step towards a better product.

Thank you very much for your contribution!

Just started my premium hifi trial, sad to find out this is feature is not available. Hopefully the engineers can sort it out before the trial ends, otherwise this might be a dealbreaker :(

When Pia says “our developers had been working on it for several months”, i understand that it means music remote control on other device. My question is, did they do anything? don’t take it as a bad intention (no Billie Eilish style), what i would like to know is if they found a way to do with the tech-tools  did/do they had/have? why did they stop? because there weren’t enough resources? to focus on increasing favorite limit? do you consider queue-sync as a music remote control? are you also, maybe ,thinking the way of making it different from competition?

Hey @mat9 @walker 

Thank you for your honest feedback. This isn't currently being developed after our new Chromecast integration was released. Right now our teams are fixing our existing problems and working on a few other projects that together with this one, have been a priority. I hope we have more of an update in the next couple of months to give you a better idea of where we're going 

Hi. Is there an update on this. To be able to play deezer using deezer app when connected with Bluesound streaming box…. I am planning to buy a high end WiFi speaker but it seems the only way way to get lossless is using the speaker app and apparently all speaker apps are terrible UX... 

when can we expect deezer to develop Spotify connect type functionality. 
 

thanks

Hi @amit vij 

Thank you for your support. At the moment we haven't got further updates but we're working on providing more feedback to our product teams around our most popular ideas, including this one.

If there's an update, we'll let you know here 

@Rudi 

Glad to see that you and the other staff members are taking time to answer to comments!

Already a MAJOR + compared to Spotify! Me (and many more subscribers) have been waiting for an HIFI option “over there” for the last 3-4 years without any feedback from their team!

Now i decided to give Deezer a try but the lack of “remote”/”connect” feature is to big of a deal breaker for me. On the other hand Deezer have better sound quality.

I guess one can never be satisfied.. Hope for some good news regarding this in a near future!

Hey @johan-sson 

This is a very cool feature - thank you for your feedback and kind words 

Our community team would really like this one to be developed too - so thanks to comments like yours we can keep pushing for it 

Hey @Rudi i am new on deezer. I was using Spotify for four years and i was happy actually. But i give a try to Deezer and my first impression is great. Deezer is more user friendly for me. I liked it very much but that remote control feature is really great on Spotify. While i am at work i am listening music on my desktop and change music on my mobile device. While eating dinner in kitchen i am listening music on my smart tv and change music on my mobile device. I think the only missing feature on Deezer is that. I searched on topic and you are very friendly. You can make it for users like us. Thanks for your and software devolopers effort. Thanks.

Tell me about it @uygardilek, it's such a cool feature  thank you for reaching out!

But with your honest feedback and support we can add more pressure and show the urgency for this to be developed 

Hi! First of all, I’ve used Spotify Premium for more than a couple of years (so as many other users), but recently I’ve decided to give Deezer a go. It works great, I dig the interface more, flow is getting better and better with understanding my taste and even the playlists are getting bettter.

However, one key feature that Deezer is missing is remote control: at least the queues are synchronized, but I would love to control the music playing on my laptop or TV using my phone. It’s one of the key features that I used with Spotify, and it is the factor that I’m considering the most when thinking about getting back to them. I really want to love Deezer, but missing such an important feature is such a killer, both for me and many other users.

Thanks for listening to my feedback and I really hope that this issue reaches the highest priority one!

Hello there,

Just recently subscribed to a Deezer account since I got me a really nice Ruark R5 and I wanted to enjoy it with good quality streaming service : hence Deezer for the HiFi.

However, navigating trough the music from the Ruark is a pain in wherever you want and using the bluetooth is...what it is.

The Ruark, such as many other device, has the Spotify Connect feature and I am really considering changing just to have this remote control. But I don’t want to…

Wish you’ll get this feature soon enough not to loose your 99%-satisfied users since so many people seem to be longing for it !

Musically,

ElKa

Messaged about this feature to @Deezer and @researchdeezer twitter accounts but they haven’t replied yet.I hope after they get my message, they will take a step about this must have feature

Awesome idea, should have already been included by now as Deezer allows casting with chromecast.

Hi @Pia.Deezer, @Rudi 

Context: +5 years Deezer user across web (still no linux app  ), mobile and chromecast.

User perspective:  Spotify-Connect kind like feature must be a MUST. If you need another reason,  every single Deezer evangelization try to my friends/family/colleague are declined because of a missing “Spotify-Connect” feature.

Biz perspective: At least add this feature for a sake of profits or leads.

Just in case, i’m in love with Deezer...

Hi all @ron_damon @Robert.DeJong @uygardilek @elka @Diaconescu Florin 

Thank you ever so much for your relentless support. This is definitely on our radar and every idea posted here in the community gets seen by our devs and Product teams. Stay safe and let's hope this gets worked on in the near future 

Yeah this. I can stream to xbox while playing and control from phone. Gooood. 

Just realized that there is no way to remotely control my playback device (i.e. PC) via deezer smartphone app. So deezer is completely off my list now. Won’t sign a payed account and stay with Spotify instead. That’s a shame, cause I was keen on HiFi and lyrics, but convenience is more important in that case.

regards

Is better to write here because they created this forum to give suggestions,even problems. With social networks you can know about new interviews with singers (Deezer sessions), new features, new launchments, and get support if you have problems. But are not thought for ideas.
