Roon compatibility with Deezer

I have to add my vote and my excitement should Deezer be integrated with Roon! 

Please add Deezer to Roon!

Any news or should I take advantage of some of the 6-months Tidal offers floating around?

Hello @CanadianViking, no news, sorry about that 

Is there a timeline for a decision - one way or the other?

Hello @CanadianViking, I’ll try to get an answer, but as you can probably imagine, a significant part of the Deezer staff is on vacation at the moment, so it might be a while before I get any information. I’d personally understand that you feel like trying another offer in these conditions, I’ll do my best to get the information though.

With Google play music shutting down i was hoping to find a service that worked well in both the Android and Roon ecosystems.  I hope y’all can get something worked out with Roon i would much rather pay for one services versus the two i am paying for now.

Roon COO Danny Dulai is pretty clear

Please give us an update Deezer...

Deezer team--

I have been a HUGE Deezer HD fan for years and proudly use my subscription nearly every day--nearly always through my home Sonos audio system.  I also stream content from several other providers regularly (various radio stations--jazz/classical/NPR, personal FLAC files, podcasts, etc).  I currently use my Sonos app to aggregate across all those providers, but even that is starting to become unwieldy.

PLEASE consider what EVERY company must reckon with at some point--you cannot be all things to all people.  What makes Deezer special is your vast musical library and flow/list algorithms.  Leave the user interface for someone else to specialize in and please focus on what you do best.  I am starting my Roon account today (with Tidal), and I have news for you….if I can get 80% of my music on Tidal, I’m moving, UNLESS you can get a commitment out WHEN you plan to support Roon.  

I’m happy to wait--just give me a reason to stay--PLEASE. Realize that most frustrated users are not posting their discontent--they will just leave.

This thread is of little value, it’s been live for years but no progress on Roon integration still. If Deezer management have no interest in Roon integration then they should say so.

I recently rejoined Deezer after receiving an email stating that ‘Discovery’ had improved and this is true I now find it far more relevant to my listening and the sound quality of Premium is also good.

But without Deezer linking up with Roon it means that Roon’s Radio function only uses my own tracks and nothing, (obviously) from Deezer is included.

I will now regrettably  have to leave Deezer  as it’s devaluing my Roon subscription. and rejoin a competitor. Hey ho. 

Come on Deezer - pull your finger out - you can do it :)  

Hello

Currently I am using Deezer as a test I like it. (I've been using Tidal for 3 years) I would love to change the "club colors" but wish I could use Deezer via Roon. Does Deezer take this into account?

Still no update on this? At this point, I would even take a "no" so I at least can plan my path forward.

I’m signing up to deezer hi fi if Roon integration is added.!

Hi there @frostedfrank @CanadianViking @krzysiek29 @ukcj @Barnabus @markchrist @Mark Percy @kropp01 

Thank you for your support and patience. The community team has been waiting for an update from the relevant teams here so I've escalated the matter to get a response in due course, hang in there a bit longer, please 

Sorry to hear that @Academ1co 

Because this is a commercial partnership and we're planning our new developments for the next quarter, we'll need more patience from you to find out our exact position on this 

Thanks Rudi. I will take this as a "no" or "not anytime soon" - too bad since I've been enjoying Deezer.

Not yet @CanadianViking

I'm personally pushing for this to be prioritised internally at Deezer, so we don't have a decision on it yet - it's a process where we need a bit more patience from you - even though this request was made quite a long time ago.

I'm unable to provide further details for now but I can tell you we've never been closer to develop this integration as we're now. Hang in there a bit longer or subscribe to the topic for updates 

Voted ! Yeyy for ROON !

Thanks Rudy. I've switched to Tidal for now but will monitor this thread for any updates. Fingers crossed!

+1 We really need this to happen!!!!!

Well, since the integration is done (mostly) at the Roon side, I suppose the issue is if Deezer is willing to provide Roon with APIs to all the stuff Roon requires for deep integration. I’s mostly a policy decision more than a thing that requires a lot of work. On the technical side that is. Or am I missing something?

You've hit the nail on the coffin there @janne - and like any other development here at Deezer, to get prioritised, it needs to be justified in different ways and aligned with our mission as well.

I'm monitoring this one closely, and occasionally bumping the idea too. Let's hope we can make it part of our plans soon 

Where do I need to send pizza and beer to in order to make this happen? I love Deezer but will be moving if nothing moves on this issue unfortunately.
