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? 📱🕺🏼💻

Tidal and Spotify for sure. For example, I stream via a streamer that has Chromecast built- in, I can live with it but the problem is, I wanted a better streamer but Chromecast audio is disappearing from the market and new streamers are barely being put on anymore, therefore Deezer connectivity is getting worse..

Crazy about music

Tidal Connect is limited, it doesn’t work with my Echo Studios. Alexa Cast only works with Amazon Music and doesn’t work nearly as well as Spotify Connect. Apple has functionality within its own ecosystem.


My point is that the commenter seems to be shocked that deezer does not have something comparable, when in fact no one does, including Apple and Amazon, who are global tech giants.

It’s an innovative technology, not standard for the industry. 


Deezer’s functionality within the Echo device ecosystem is comparable with the industry, which I consider impressive, given the comparative size of the company. 
 

Having said all that, I would love to see a deezer Connect that has all the functionality of Spotify Connect. I’m just not going to be shocked that it’s not a reality, or expect that deezer has the resources or inclination  to accomplish what Apple and Amazon haven’t.

I fully agree that THIS IS A DISASTER that such a huge company like Deezer can not implement a simple protocol that will pass streaming URL from an app on smartphone to the device and that device will play music from that URL.

This is really not a rocket science, but rather a complexity level of a project that could have been done by students on University for Programming class.

TIDAL Connect which is very convenient like Spotify Connect, is getting more and more popular, more and more devices are supporting it and Deezer will start to loose their subscribers who will choose TIDAL for CD quality music instead of Deezer…

 

Dear Deezer Developers! Please finish Deezer Connect as soon as possible PLEASE !!!

 

Cheers,

Sonos app is mediocre, when it comes to using Deezer through it.

AirPlay is ok, but requires a device with Deezer in the same network and quickly drains battery.

 

Dear Deezer team, please, find a way to implement Deezer connect to Sonos, at least. If you are able to make it available on other streamers (like Cambridge Audio CXN, for instance), that will be trouly astonishing!

Is anybody out there ?

Anybody? Would really love to interact with my NAD BlueOS streamer through the Deezer app, since  the integrated Deezer functionality in BluOS is really mediocre. I am starting to investigate alternatives to Deezer… after over 7 years of subscription. A transfer would be truly dissappointing

I am a Spotify user and I am trying Deezer because I want the HIFI quality. But I can’t control my Sonos directly in Deezer app!!?? For me the trial is finished without that.

We could really fo with a realistic update on this. I read also in other threads that deezer is experimenting with this, but that has been the case for so l long now that i am not certain it will ever happen. I would love deezer to link with bluos, but have little faith it will come within the next year or two. Such a shame, because i like the service.
