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? 📱🕺🏼💻

You can listen to music to 3 different devices, but if you control your music, maybe you can access from more than 3 if you just control, not play music.

Astell&Kern Norma SR15 + Sennheiser Momentum M2 AEG + Sennheiser HD 598 + Sony WH-1000XM2 + Sony WF-1000xm4 + own 2249 Hi-Fi/-Res Tracks + Deezer Freemium. Let's play!

Am thinking about heading back to Spotify. I want an amp that I can use for network streaming. Only Spotify is out there as a native app on amplifiers. Deezer can't be used to play songs on other devices. It's no use subscribing to Spotify for my hifi and deezer for my phone. 

As great as Deezer is, if it can't keep up, it dies.

Such a shame that deezer say 'great idea, thanks!' a lot, but seem to do little to accommodate. 

All we want is a decent rival to Spotify:

1. Ability to edit playlists while not connected to the Internet (we're not all blessed with the matrix)

2. Ability to play deezer on any device without using your Phone's Bluetooth to stream the music. i.e. Native deezer client as per Spotify

We appreciate your honest feedback@Estéfano Vechietti. We're working on the feature to discover more devices around so that stream is possible. We hope to have more updates before the end of this year, so I thank you for your patience and support :pray_tone2:

I just moved from Spotify to try the Hifi offer but I'm already frustrated about this missing feature…

I hope that it will be cover soon...

Same here, I also started testing Deezer yesterday  as a Spotify member, and as long as I am able to see, I really like it. I am looking for the HiFi offer cause I will buy headphones with decent sound, sth Spotify doesn't offer. But it's frustrating that there is no remote control, had thought it should be a basic feature and I am surprised it's missing here. Without it it's really hard for me to fully switch.

 

And disappointing that it's not possible to stream HiFi Songs on my Sony TV or Soundbar, so I won't be able to really get out the maximum of my subscription, if I really stay after the test month.

We're still working on our new Cast integration, which will allow more and better device discovery - we've been developing this for quite some time, so we'd like to have you on board to give it a go. More updates before the end of this year! @PatMac19 @Meister Jason

Hi there @Meister Jason 

I believe I've replied to you on another topic. Thank you for your support.

We're working hard to deliver a new feature on device discovery. Please bear with us a bit longer, we're looking to have more updates by the end of this year.

Hey @SS's Deezer 

You're right, that would be cool. Thank you for your feedback, we'll be adding to this existing idea - as it's related :thumbsup_tone2:
