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? 📱🕺🏼💻

Hi @abovebeyond @Farao apologies for my late reply and thank you for your input. I have moved your topic to this one as it is the same idea ;)

Hopefully we can see this being implemented soon 😉

Definitely vote for a remote!!! This is where Spotify has a one up on Deezer.

Would very much like to see this feature be implemented. I think this would be a very big feature that a lot of people will be using. Please urge the developers to start working on it ASAP! 🙂 ✍🏻

When playing music on Spotify, if I am listening to music on device X, I can control the music playing on device X using any device logged in to my Spotify account (as well as change the device that the audio is playing on using the "available devices" option). This is especially useful when playing music on my Alexa - there is no interface on Alexa to queue songs or interact in any way without interrupting playback.

The fact that I cannot control music playing on Alexa using the Deezer app on my phone/laptop is a real drawback and is probably the only thing holding me back from making the jump across from Spotify to Deezer!

I use the the Deezer desktop app to play HiFI (FLAC) on a good sound card on my PC. I see Deezer's competitive advantage over Spotfy as precisely this ability to play lossless music but only if I can control it without having to come up to the PC to change tracks, playlists and so on.

Please add this remote control ability . The best way might be to expose the well established UPnP AV protocol in your desktop app. That will allow you and third party developers to produce customized controllers and free your developers from being the bottleneck in satisfying your users.

I have the exact same use case as above so +1!

Yep, I would also like to see this. There's a third party app for the web player on Chrome, but i'm not using the web player, and has quite a few issues, isn't a very smooth experience (occasional glitches ruins the experience).

Drag the four buttons from top to bottom, as before, add a function,
similar to Connect in Spotify, add a button to the notification like or
add to the library.

How is this flagged as solved when in fact the answer was very clearly "that's not possible"??!
