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? 📱🕺🏼💻

    Guys it's been a year since this was posted. This isn't ground breaking stuff, you came into this market when this was already available with the market leader and original service, Spotify. What's keeping you from keeping up? Whatever it is, it's keeping a lot of people from signing up, and it's moving a lot of people back to Spotify.

    Hi there @dlchamp @htkblazer

    As you can see above, we're already working on developing this feature. Please bear with us a bit longer 😉

      Ah, so that's what "discussion ongoing" means?

      Good to hear, I'm now one step further away from Spotify.

      Don't let development of this hold back development of the MS paint designed Now Playing screen - THAT needs overhauled first, with a search bar, home button, artist and album direct links, and a big ol' accessible options button rather than three microscopic little dots that I need to stop what I'm doing, zoom in, and attach a precision scope and laser pointer to my pinky finger to use. THAT is fundamental and needs fixed first. It's on the ideas page.

        Yes, it means that our product teams are aware users posted the idea and may have been discussing implementation. Thank you for your remaining UI feedback @htkblazer

          This would be *specially usefully* when using Deezer from a dedicated HI-FI stereo system like ONKYO's where it's really difficult to find your music or search for new records in the system's tiny screen and you don't want to put a big old TV on top of your stereo.

            Hey Rudi, with Spotify devs sniffing glue lately and killing their android app, it seems the time to strike is now. Like a lot of people, my music subscription is tied to my mobile contract and its about to expire. Unfortunately, missing features like this are keeping me from switching - do you have any timescales for this yet? If its gonna be another year I'll probably limp on with Spotify for another two years.

              Not sure why the position on this has changed from :
              20 days ago "As you can see above, we're already working on developing this feature. Please bear with us a bit longer"
              2 days ago "Yes, it means that our product teams are aware users posted the idea and may have been discussing implementation."

              Hi there @wozere @htkblazer

              Thank you for your input. We haven't changed our position on this. We're working on it, developing it as we speak. It's a tricky one, hence why we haven't got any timescales yet. But as you know, making our queue lists cloud based was the initial phase for this feature to also happen. It's basically being worked on by roughly the same team. We need a bit more patience from you all, and I'll be here to give the updates once we've got them 👍🏼

                No worries Rudi. I'm no developer, but I'm I do imagine that this WILL be quite a "tricky" "feature". As far as I can see it, calling this a "feature" is pretty crude, as it seems to actually revolve around how the whole thing is set up and will require a lot of work to change it. Patience provided.

                Please don't let this get in the way of the very simple UI tweaks that are desperately needed though; home button and/or search function on Now Playing screen!

                Thanks for your own continued patience and keeping everybody regularly (and painstakingly) informed, it's very much appreciated and goes a lot further towards Deezer than you probably know.
