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? 📱🕺🏼💻

Have another upvote….here is my specific scenario:

Whilst in the office I listen to Deezer via my laptop connected to my wireless bluetooth headphones.

Sometimes, when I walk away from my desk I want to chnage the music I am listening to...Using my FitBit Versa 2 I could navigate to a different album, and play it….changing the music on my laptop to the one I have just selected.

Currently, I have to walk back to my desk to chnage the music (which is good for my step count :o)….it’s something Spotify does perfectly, as that also gives me an option to play from the ‘other’ device as well if needed.

The 24th of November 2019 <<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!»
 

Rudi, are there any updates as we are 2020?!

Hi there @MarcoG @Mark Phillipson 

Thanks again for your feedback. At least we're doing something for your step count @Mark Phillipson :sweat_smile:

We haven't stopped working on this, since last year, but we needed more time. And we keep preparing for it, as we speak. So as soon as the team gives us an update, we'll be sharing here.

It's exactly what's happening right now with me. I want to listen to music on my mobile phone, but I would also like to control it from my laptop's keyboard since I don't like to move my hands away from it. With this setup, I can go to the next door keeping the music on, since I can drop the phone into my pocket!!!

2020 and still no progress? Come on... Get your coders and programmers fired and hire some guys who are able to do this in a week... Can't belive that I STILL have to get up from my couch to change music!

Just wanted to show interest and say this feature is the only thing keeping me from using a paid subscription.

This is one of the more voted ideas here, so I’m sure the dev team are doing their best.

Looking forward for more updates.
