I came from Spotify that already has this feature for a long time, and I miss it.
I like to control the music of the pc using my cell phone, and it would be great if Deezer had this option.
thanks.

Adding a remote control to Deezer Desktop from a wifi devices (phone, tablet)
Use case:
Deezer desktop installed on a PC and connected to a Stereo system with no screen
I want to control it with my phone or tablet (as in Spotify connect)

This is the only feature that preventing me move to Deezer

Thanks!

Amazon actually has a feature for Amazon Echo devices called „Alexa Cast“. It‘s basically their version on Chromecast or Spotify Connect. Why not integrate that functionality into the Deezer app?

Hi,

I am evaluating Deezer as an alternative to Spotify and I am used to be able to use the Spotify Android App as a remote. This to prevent yelling to get Alexa to hear you over the potentially loud music. ALEXA NEXT, I SAY NEXT!!!! But also because in some cases language differences make it difficult to use speech to play a song. I've been looking through the app and searching online but I can't find a solution. Am I missing something or is this not supported.

Cheers,
Dennis

Hi @DennisN as this is not currently possible there is an idea for this in our ideas forum, that is why I have moved your topic to here. Please vote for it to have a bigger chance of getting implemented.

You can however go into the Alexa app and chose to skip the song from there 😉

Well @Flo.Deezer you guys better get moving then, I see the idea is a year old already and my trial will expire pretty soon 😉

I can't understand why it takes so much time to add this feature.

iTunes Remote is on the iOS appstore long time ago.

Would be nice not to have a separate app, but a config option on the existing app.

In a bar/in a party/in a gig (headless wifi computer connected to a mixer), the user can change the volume, or the playlist from his/her iOS/Android. No need to run to the computer corner…..

Hi @Tomek, just fully understand your idea: What would be the advantage compared to using Deezer directly on the TV?
Its 2019 now can we address this again. I use Deezer at work hooked up to a computer with DJ speakers and I'm not always close I/e 300' away if I could use my phone as a remote I could change song or playlist at anytime.
