Remote control music on another device / Device discovery

Thanks @Jaime. - is there a reason why you’re not developing a proper “connect” feature like Spotify? - for me it’s the missing piece of the jigsaw as far as Deezer is concerned, and many other users feel the same way as evidenced by the messages here.

Hey @Jaime., any info about the future plans of adding a “normal” Connect feature - like Spotify and Tidal have? Literally any info?

Hi @manus.abyss I have asked our product team for an update and I’ll get back to you soon.
Thanks for your patience

Hi @manus.abyss Devs have confirmed that unfortunately there is nothing in the roadmap in the short term, so Deezer will remain as it is for the time being.

The main issue is that Deezer connect is so buggy that it’s almost impossible to use it. The only way it works 100% correct is that you first start playback on the host machine and then you can pause/play again it from the client. Any more complex manipulations just give no result most of the times (like you for example select some other album/band, start playing and just realize that Deezer plays the same playlist there was before - so yeah, you can stop it but have no control on what exactly is being played). One of the most expected features (well, after HQ maybe) has turned into unusable absolute disappointment.

Deezer Device Discovery should cover devices like Sonos and hi-fi music streamers like Cambridge Audio CXN. Sonos latest native app is a disgrace, and using AirPlay for Deezer doesn’t allow me to set music for my family and go watch YouTube.

Considering, that I have to stop listening to music on my smartphone, because I log in the app - a real connection between computer and smartphone would help.

(Yes, I use the computer-app to create my playlists).
