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.

This feature would be great. I’m waiting for it, too.

Hi! Just signed up for trial and I really appreciate HiFi sound quality, usability and the vast library, but the lack of remote is really a letdown - for some reason I assumed it will just be there.

Adding my vote for this feature - I do like Deezer and still might continue with subscription, but I have to evaluate other services too.  Going to computer every time I want to change the music shouldn’t be a requirement in the 21st century. Otherwise great service!

Thanks a lot for the feedback @Nagard I can get why you'd make that assumption. Let's see what we can do this year, we'll keep you posted :v_tone2:

As another potential transfer from Spotify (TEN years of subscription), I’d like to add my voice to this chorus.
My use case is slightly different I think, but in Spotify it uses the same ‘Connect’ functionality.
I have a work laptop which does not connect to my hi-fi. However, in Spotify I can use it to drive my phone, TV, or another PC desktop app which is connected to the hi-fi.

Like others here have said - the sound quality of Deezer is excellent (and I’d probably pay the hi-fi upgrade), so this is another £15 a month you’re missing out on.


To summarise: Any Deezer-enabled device or application should be able to control the output of any other Deezer-enabled app or device on the same account.

Thanks for the feedback @Hockney, nicely detailed. It's good because this is one of our community top ideas. We'll be discussing this higher up very very soon :v_tone2:

could have the option to control / transmit the music from the cell phone to the deezer of other platforms, as well as on Spotify and YouTube Music

With Spotify connect I could use my phone to control the music playing on my PC from anywhere. I’d like that functionality to be included in Deezer.

My sound system is installed throughout my house and it is unpleasant to have to walk to my PC to change the song, pause the music, change playlists, etc. This shouldn’t be too difficult to implement with, for instance, WebSockets or a zeroconf protocol for local networks or even peer-to-peer (for local networks again; so when using the same LAN.).

This functionality would be huge for me. The lyrics feature is definitely what moved me over from Spotify (I don’t like using Musixmatch as a separate app.) but I’m hoping a “Deezer Connect” would make my transition final. (i.e. the missing ‘connect’ feature isn’t bugging me yet since I haven’t listened to a lot of music the past few days.)

 

Cheers!

Hello @Stingraynl, I kinda agree, I’m using a Sonos speaker right now as I write :smile: Thank you for your feedback!
