Remote control music on another device / Device discovery

Hey @Hafiy.Sufri 

Nice to hear from you again! Thank you for reaching out.

Yes, this is in our plans. But it takes considerable developing time, so we'll need more of your patience before we get there 

Noted!

Cheers

Good Afternoon,

I have been using the paid subscription service on Spotify for many years and being an audiophile use the casting function from within their app on my network streamer always.

I was tempted to try the free one month subscription to the Deezer Hi-Fi and signed up. I initially done my first tests using HEOS and was blown away at how much better the sound quality is when compared to Spotify. I immediately downloaded the PC app only to find out that a vital feature I use all the time was missing.

My mind had been made up that I was going to cancel my Spotify subscription and continue with Deezer until It became apparent that I would not be able control the sound output source from my PC as I always did previously from my PC.

I now have the quandary of deciding whether to continue with Spotify due to the convenience of use or to  live with the inconvenience of constantly having to fiddle with HEOS on my phone to have the superior sound quality of Deezer.

The ease of being able to just change the streaming music from the app on my PC as I am working is a real deal changer, so please count this as a vote for this function to be added.

Tony.

Is it possible to say anything about the developers timeline regarding this topic? 

Hey @johan-sson 

Not yet, but it's officially on the cards for our teams to develop it.

Hi @toloc999 

Really appreciate your honest feedback. It's gonna happen at some point in the near future, I'm confident about that. In regards to HEOS, we're also supporting their devs in getting HiFi streaming via their app. Stay tuned 

Many thanks for the response @Rudi,

The convenience of using Spotify did tip the balance and I have stayed with them. and cancelled my Deezer account.

As soon as the full streaming functionality is introduced, I will definitely switch across but not until then I am afraid.

Best regards

Tony.

Thanks for the honesty, Tony @toloc999 really appreciate it here. We'll keep you in the loop via this topic so that you can give us another go in the future 

This is a must have feature, to be able to control the music played on XBOX or Laptop through my phone!

Thanks @Fahmi B Mukbil please do vote for the idea above 

there should be an option to direct stream (cast) music to Amazon’s speakers. Like in spotify. Choose device, play, control, etc.
