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.
I came from spotify and I must say I prefer deezer mobile app because it's easier to use and overall more fluid (spotify app was quite clunky on my smartphone, often bugging or not being able to load).



The one thing i miss the most is the possibility to connect to other online devices and that is why I am voting this thread! I used to log in on my tv and then switch songs through the mobile app. With deezer I can't do this.



I see it was started almost 1 year ago. I hope deezer can catch up on spotify soon on this.
This undoubtedly - the ONLY feature in which Spotify has the upper hand.

Also - Spotify's implementation of this feature is full of bugs (as the rest of their solution) -

I would really like to see this feature implemented in Deezer
hereby strong support for the iPhone/iPad remote, many use a pc as music server so a remote is highly desirable, including airplay support and control.

An alternative (for those of us who use iTunes) might be some sort of pc/Mac iTunes plugin.
Fr : Ca me manque énormément également ! Ca me donne même envie de quitter Deezer pour Spotify juste pour cette fonctionnalité.



En : I miss it a lot ! It made me think of moving from Deezer to Spotify just for that feature.
This missing feature is a huge disadvantage against Spotify. I can not believe Deezer so long ignores one of the great advantages of its main competitor.

That is a “must have” feature. Spotify has it for years. If the music is playing at my mobile phone connected to my audio receiver, i can control spotify from my other phone when the same account. That’s simple and very functional.
Such option is not available on Deezer however if you want to use your smartphone as a remote control to Deezer running on your computer , you can use an Android app such as :

the problem with that solucion is that you can’t use with iphone
Hi there, Thanks a lot for your feedback! I hope your topic will get even more votes so that our developers see how many users really want this feature! Will keep you posted about any updates :)

any news?
Hi Roland, it would be great with our devs can implement this soon! We will send them your suggestion! 😉
Are there plans to improve connectivity between Yamaha i.e. Musiccast and Deezer?



I just joined Deezer hoping to really love the experience and switch from my current Spotify account. I am very happy with them and all their offerings. The only reason I wanted to try Deezer is the choice of playing FLAC files

I must say that the Deezer sound is phenomenal, I am impressed on the quality, however the GUI can be improved in a few areas.

My main issue is the lack of "direct connect", meaning, in order to play Deezer on the Yamaha it has to be done thru the Musiccast app, which is not very nice in itself, but horrible when it comes to integration with other apps, except with Spotify which seems to be almost a seamless experience, meaning that all features and controls of Spotify app remain available as the Yamaha, and many other devices, show up as available to connect to within the same app.

I used to have the Bluesound Node2 which performed great, but again the interface of the app was not friendly when it came to control some devices and sources, got rid of it almost for that reason.



Are Deezer developers working on a Yamaha direct connect solution yet? If so, any projected timeline for releasing it?



Thanks
Hi @hben050



I've moved your comment to our suggestions topic. Thanks for the idea, please vote for it so it can be implemented 😉

Definitely, That is a "must have" but Deezer does not hear his clients... I used this feature since the old Rdio, the best streaming service of all times. ☹️
It would be nice to be able to control playback between connected devices.

You are listening music with your iPad connected to your speakers. And you are working on your computer. You could be able to control the playback on the iPad from the computer.
What i think is needed for multi device syncing is just that simple function. Sync between devices. If I'm looking at my phone with deezer up I'd like to also see what other devices are logged into deezer with my account. With this I could then open up deezer on those other devices and control deezer from my phone remotely. VLC actually has something like this where you can see what's playing in your vlc player and you can control it from your phone. Scrubbing through video or skipping chapters on a bluray has never been so easy. I should just be able open up deezer on phone, select my pc in a list of synced devices, and tell it to play something there.
this would be a great improvement. I switched from spotify and I like Deezer way more, but spotify does have some good features, like this. I have my main sound control station in my basement that runs throughout the entire house. It has a pc connected to it, but it would be nice if I could change songs from my computers upstairs or my phone throughout the house. Thanks!!
Adding a remote control to Deezer Desktop from a wifi devices (phone, tablet)

Use case:

Deezer desktop installed on a PC and connected to a Stereo system with no screen

I want to control it with my phone or tablet (as in Spotify connect)



This is the only feature that preventing me move to Deezer



Thanks!

the most important thing! 👍🏽
Amazon actually has a feature for Amazon Echo devices called „Alexa Cast“. It‘s basically their version on Chromecast or Spotify Connect. Why not integrate that functionality into the Deezer app?
Hi,



I am evaluating Deezer as an alternative to Spotify and I am used to be able to use the Spotify Android App as a remote. This to prevent yelling to get Alexa to hear you over the potentially loud music. ALEXA NEXT, I SAY NEXT!!!! But also because in some cases language differences make it difficult to use speech to play a song. I've been looking through the app and searching online but I can't find a solution. Am I missing something or is this not supported.



Cheers,

Dennis
Hi @DennisN as this is not currently possible there is an idea for this in our ideas forum, that is why I have moved your topic to here. Please vote for it to have a bigger chance of getting implemented.



You can however go into the Alexa app and chose to skip the song from there 😉
Well @Flo.Deezer you guys better get moving then, I see the idea is a year old already and my trial will expire pretty soon 😉
I can't understand why it takes so much time to add this feature.
iTunes Remote is on the iOS appstore long time ago.



Would be nice not to have a separate app, but a config option on the existing app.
In a bar/in a party/in a gig (headless wifi computer connected to a mixer), the user can change the volume, or the playlist from his/her iOS/Android. No need to run to the computer corner…..



PLEASE VOTE HERE FOR THE REMOTE FEATURE

PLEASE tell all your friends with deezer acount to Press LIKE.
Hi @Tomek, just fully understand your idea: What would be the advantage compared to using Deezer directly on the TV?

Its 2019 now can we address this again. I use Deezer at work hooked up to a computer with DJ speakers and I'm not always close I/e 300' away if I could use my phone as a remote I could change song or playlist at anytime.
