Remote control music on another device / Device discovery

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.

Hey folks! 

Great news! We finally launched it!

Please have a look on our new feature “Deezer Connect”! Where you can control your devices from your phone IOS or Android.
 

 
What will be the first song you will connect to another device? 📱🕺🏼💻

Hey @Satver

Thank you for your input and feedback. I'm sorry my reply is in English - we don't support Russian at the moment. I've moved your comment here so that you can support an existing idea 😉

Come on devs - please! My computer has a good sound system. My phone does not! I want to sit in bed and use my phone to control my computer's playing. Please at least confirm this is definitely on the top few wanted items that are being worked on.

It sure is @cowudders14. It's part of a big project which includes making our queue lists Cloud based. Stay tuned for further updates 😉

Here's another upvote for you guys.

Use case:
I have a Nvidia Shield connected to my TV and audio system. The Shield device is my mediaplyer with all the apps like Netflix, Prime, Youtube and Deezer.

To just play songs from Deezer I don't need the TV obviously, but I do need it for visual control. It feels like overkill to have the TV on all day just to play Deezer. So to control Deezer through my phone would be brilliant.

Keep up the good work! 👍🏻

Thanks for the feedback again @elstupid this is actually one of the features we're looking to get off the ground next. Once I hear more about it, I'll share it here.

Just an idea you should conect Deezer pc with Deezer from your celphone so you can change your song or whatever

i suggest you make a new feature in the app that you can play music on other devices for example i'm playing music on Desktop app and want to change the song from my mobile app while still playing on the desktop app.. i suppose making the apps more linked together

Hi there @Marwan.Tohamy

Thanks for your input. I've moved your comment here so that you can support an existing idea. We've been working on this feature for quite sometime, and it involves some big background changes. So we're on the right path 👍🏼

I keep seeing "add the ability to control media on other devices", but that's not the only missing feature along those lines.

While, controlling music is great, I'd prefer the Now Playing and Queue to sync across the devices as well.

When I get out of my car, using Android auto, I'd like to be able to "cast" the playing queue to my Google home group so that when I walk in the door, the music is already playing from where I left off.

Then, I get to my home office and turn on my PC. Deezer app opens, and then just click play there and all music stops elsewhere, but continues where it left off on the PC. This should all happen seamlessly, right from within the app allowing me to select WHERE i want the music to be playing.
