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 βDeezer Connectβ! Where you can control your devices from your phone IOS or Android.
What will be the first song you will connect to another device? π±πΊπΌπ»

Use case:
I have a Nvidia Shield connected to my TV and audio system. The Shield device is my mediaplyer with all the apps like Netflix, Prime, Youtube and Deezer.
To just play songs from Deezer I don't need the TV obviously, but I do need it for visual control. It feels like overkill to have the TV on all day just to play Deezer. So to control Deezer through my phone would be brilliant.
Keep up the good work! ππ»

While, controlling music is great, I'd prefer the Now Playing and Queue to sync across the devices as well.
When I get out of my car, using Android auto, I'd like to be able to "cast" the playing queue to my Google home group so that when I walk in the door, the music is already playing from where I left off.
Then, I get to my home office and turn on my PC. Deezer app opens, and then just click play there and all music stops elsewhere, but continues where it left off on the PC. This should all happen seamlessly, right from within the app allowing me to select WHERE i want the music to be playing.

Good to hear, I'm now one step further away from Spotify.
Don't let development of this hold back development of the MS paint designed Now Playing screen - THAT needs overhauled first, with a search bar, home button, artist and album direct links, and a big ol' accessible options button rather than three microscopic little dots that I need to stop what I'm doing, zoom in, and attach a precision scope and laser pointer to my pinky finger to use. THAT is fundamental and needs fixed first. It's on the ideas page.

Hey Rudi, with Spotify devs sniffing glue lately and killing their android app, it seems the time to strike is now. Like a lot of people, my music subscription is tied to my mobile contract and its about to expire. Unfortunately, missing features like this are keeping me from switching - do you have any timescales for this yet? If its gonna be another year I'll probably limp on with Spotify for another two years.

Thank you for your input. We haven't changed our position on this. We're working on it, developing it as we speak. It's a tricky one, hence why we haven't got any timescales yet. But as you know, making our queue lists cloud based was the initial phase for this feature to also happen. It's basically being worked on by roughly the same team. We need a bit more patience from you all, and I'll be here to give the updates once we've got them ππΌ

Please don't let this get in the way of the very simple UI tweaks that are desperately needed though; home button and/or search function on Now Playing screen!
Thanks for your own continued patience and keeping everybody regularly (and painstakingly) informed, it's very much appreciated and goes a lot further towards Deezer than you probably know.
