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.

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

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

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!!
