Reviving the remote feature through a unified queue synchronization

Hi everyone,

I wanted to suggest a feature that tackles two major pain points on Deezer with a single technical solution. Currently, the community is highly requesting two distinct things: the return of the beloved Deezer Remote (to control PC or TV playback from a phone) and a true live collaborative listening session for groups.

Thinking about the underlying architecture, these two requests are actually the exact same feature. They both rely on a synchronized, real time playback state.

If Deezer builds a unified live queue engine, it solves everything at once.

Here is how it would work: a host device starts a listening session. If I am alone, I just join the session with my phone on the same account, and suddenly my phone acts as a remote control, sending play, pause, or queue commands to the host. If I am with friends, they join the exact same session with their own accounts to add tracks to the queue in real time.

Implementing this architecture would close those two massive feature gaps at once, satisfying both solo listeners who miss the Remote app and social listeners wanting to build playlists together on the fly. 

I would love to hear the development team's thoughts on this approach.

Thanks, have a good day :)
