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? 📱🕺🏼💻

Dear Deezer team,
I really love the Deezer, but it would make me happy to see a back and forth/across the devices remote feature, like in the picture below. Laptop to phone, phone to laptop etc.
Is there any chance that you will improve you app with this feature in the near future?
Thank you

As a rather complex workaround for now (and please, this is not a solution!) one can use "Chrome Remote Desktop" which allows remote control of everything on a PC. While one can in principle do everything with this, it is in fact only useful for simple controls such as play and pause.

To use this: install the "Chrome Remote Desktop" app on your phone and then Google "Access another computer with Chrome Remote Desktop" for instructions to install it on your chosen PC.

I today switched from Spotify to Deezer - especially because of the more modern design and "Flow". But I'm very disappointed that there is nothing such as Spotify Connect. When I want to listen to something special on Amazon Echo and Alexa can't understand it, I want to use the Deezer App and cast it to my Echo like it was possible with Spotify. I'm thinking about switching back to Spotify - even during my free trial.

For all who definitely want to use the TV for listening to deezer it would be a great feature. No doubt. I used the TV for a time too. But I think it is a better solution when you use a chromecast-audio: Good audio quality, less power consumption and controlls via app on smartphone/tablet.- Just as a suggesttion!

Just signed up for a Deezer trial. Unfortunately, I'm going to sign up with Spotify again, because Deezer offers no functionality similar to "Spotify Connect".

This is especially annoying on voice-activated devices like the Amazon Echo: Alex either doesn't understand me properly, I've misremembered the title of a song or I just don't know what a song is actually called.

In cases like that I can just fire up the Spotify mobile app, find the proper title and hand the audio playback off the the Amazon Echo.

can I listen to the music on the computer and play the playlist on my cell phone like I do in Spotify?

+1. This feature is greatly needed, especially for those of us that use a pc/Mac solely for entertainment purposes.

With Deezer HiFi available ONLY on the PC App the remote control feature is a MUST.

Very few people will have high end HiFi speakers situated right next to their desktop computers. Most people will have them at a distance with a dedicated listening spot away from the computer, specially those listening to good floor standing audiophile speakers.

It is imperative to find a way for the Deezer PC app to be controlled via a phone or a tablet, otherwise the HiFi service just becomes a pain to use. You need to get up from your listening space to your computer just to change a song or search for something.

Spotify seems to do this very well - please help and add this to Deezer too! A lot of demand is there...

Uilizo O dezer a muito tempo, e já passou da hora de atualizar o aplicativo, desenvolver novidades, e controlar o dezer em outros dispositivos e fundamental.
