Remote control music on another device / Device discovery

well, i’m tired of waiting, i’m leaving for spotify

Don't blame you. I've used Spotify for years and all they really lack is hi res audio. They keep releasing stuff that no one is asking for. So they have their own problems. I've cancelled Deezer and I'm about to cancel Qobuz. Amazon HD is a close 2nd and for some reason I just hate to admit it. I've used all these services back and forth trying to figure out which one I really like. Tidal is a no go as they push hip hop heavily. Their interface and is really great, but every suggestion is rap and that's just not my thing. If Deezer ever gets their act together and give customers what they want, they'd easily be the best streaming service. 

Just downloaded the Deezer app but I won't sign up for my free trial as long as there's no connect. It's just a deal breaker for me. 

BTW,

Spotify launched their connect 2013, that's 9 years ago!

I used Spotify to access a shared playlist and noticed this feature is available there. I had missed it since rdio folded. 

Controlling an instance of a streaming service from another pc or a phone is far superior to:

• Very buggy chromecast which is reliant on subnets and the blessings of the forest folk. Chromecast relies on bloody HDMI, a bloody TV or an expensive amp. 
• Horrible bluetooth which is re-compressed and drains your phone. The forest folk have to be in a good mood to allow pairing too. Phone calls are a delightful intrusion and the range sucks. As Asterix would say #$@&%*!  
• Arcane DNLA - if I wanted some wonkish shared library I would get a NAS and Sonos. This is a bad fit for Deezer. 

My PC has a nice DAC and speakers and I need to control it from my phone or work computer. Using rdio YEARS AGO, I could ask my 4 year old to change the music from his gaming PC. It sounds and works better. 

If Deezer have not implemented this in a year, I am shifting to Spotify which is less elegant but this feature is utterly essential to me.

MacOS - iOS the Connect function works very well!

What do you think when will be available for Win10 desktop app + iOS/Android app the connect function.

That would be great.

Thanks,

Viktor

Windows client app + iOS app already is working. Just Android still is missing. 

Wow! I have to try it, thanks for the information. Some weeks ago tried it and not works. There is my today scheduled task :)

Thanks a lot, wittao

Tried on both platform:

macOS + iOS

Win10 + iOS

Works simple and great!

I am just waiting for the followings for the 100% happiness:

• 24/192 resolution (extra cost is ok for me)
• Kernel Streaming support on Win10

For me Spotify has the best app, Spotify Connect and best recommendations, but sound quality is lacking, Amazon HD Unlimited has worst app I’ve ever seen, but the best sound quality, good pricing and no Amazon Connect too, Apple Music could be perfect, but no Apple Music Connect, Airplay 2 sounds worse than Google chromecast and if you want to get max quality you need to buy all those silly adapters and connect to dongle DAC, that's not what I want, Tidal has good app, Tidal Connect, but MQA is snake oil for me, I don’t have a DAC which support MQA and I don't want to have, not interested in MQA at all. Don’t try Qobuz yet, but I will try after Deezer trial will end, Deezer could be one of the best option for me, they have good sound quality, not bad recommendations, app which is is almost on par with Spotify and Tidal,  but no Deezer connect, every time I need to turn on bluetooth and drain the battery, so close to perfect but they don't care… I think they don't even understand how many people chose tidal instead of Deezer just because of the lack of Deezer connect.

I'm one of those... Tidal if great!! Much better than Deezer
