Remote control music on another device / Device discovery

I’m trying this out, comparing Deezer to Tidal, Apple Music, Spotify etc, and find it disappointing it’s been on some “TODO” list for the past four years! Deezer, how about a status update of whether you plan to support this or not?

Unfortunately, Deezer's poor connectivity is a major weakness. Unfortunately, the Chromecast connection has not worked for several days. Really bad.

I came from Spotify end of last year and love Deezer but using it via the Sonos app ist just no fun, all good features are missing. Please give us a status update so we know this is worth waiting.

This is indeed taking way too long. It would be great to receive a realistic timeline. I don’t mind waiting, but this silence is just silly. At the same time I have noticed other music streaming apps also don’t communicate very well with their users, so this is probably something that comes with the territory….

Their hiring pretty much gives it away. They hire all kinds of nonessential people, but not developers. I have to doubt the quality and realism of the workloads of their development team, since being a developer, most of these issues are something I know how I’d fix myself, but it’s frustrating that the APIs aren’t open enough that I could just make my own player and forget the garbage Deezer themselves have managed to produce.

Here someone says they're working on remote control (android -> desktop), and that it should be released this year.

Is this legit? Are we talking about the same thing than here? I hope I can ditch the Sonos app very soon!

I just switched to Deezer from Spotify. I didn’t realize just how much I would miss this feature. The control in the Sonos app is awful. Improvements to the integration within the Sonos app would be helpful but remote control from the Deezer app is the real answer. Spotify had no HiFi content. This would be a slam dunk for Deezer to be able to tout that you can get better quality sound with feature parity compared to Spotify. Please, please, please get this going!!

I am also trying Deezer with a 3 month trial. But not being able to control Sonos from within the Deezer app is a really big downer. Not sure if I will continue after the trial and switch my complete family over from Spotify.

Come one Deezer, add this because people want this.
