Roon compatibility with Deezer

I would like to know if ROON will be available soon. I use BluOS and would like to sign up for ROON.

Thanks

Hi everyone, 

Our developers confirmed they're interested in developing this integration, however, we can only consider it after updating our existing SDKs - which is a project undergoing during the course of 2021. Stay tuned for further updates by subscribing to the topic, if you haven't done so. Thank you for your support!

Hi there@munich 

Thank you for the reference. I've passed it to our product managers. We're not opposed to an integration with them, and as I could see from Danny's reply, it's on their business team to refresh the contact with Deezer after so many years. We're also not exclusive to Sonos anymore. And developers from other companies can have the support of ours and develop their own app using our resources, like many. That's what probably happened in the past :thumbsup_tone2:

A key feature of Roon for me is tags: if tags were available in Deezer I’m not sure I’d ask for Deezer ↔ Roon integration.

I have Roon and Tidal (as well as Deezer Hifi), it’s so easy to tag an new album with a tag like “listen_tonight” for future references. I feel limited in Deezer, the only customs I can do are likes and download (I use the download feature for albums/tracks I want to “listen tonight”)

Tags is something we've been discussing about for quite some time now, @ewauc. So thank you for your continuous feedback :wink:

Roon 1.7 (Valence) just came out.

Most of the new features are around the streaming apps. Roonlab claims the “new releases for you” and “recommended for you” features are better that what the streaming apps are proposing.

I bet this is accurate but can’t test it since Deezer does not integrate with Roon yet. A pity. 

We see that Roon has put more emphasis on streaming music than on user’s own library. May be it is time for Deezer to reconnect with RoonLab and build a partnership.

Who’s silly enough to ignore a potential additional source of revenue ?  :)

@Rudi any news from your product managers regarding Roon Labs?

Did the business development team of Roon Labs get on contact with Deezer?

Hey @frefre 

Thank you for your detailed feedback - you have made some interesting points. Happy to pass it on.

At the moment we haven't had further contact from them @munich but feel free to bridge that gap within their community 😉

Stepping in by saying that Roon would be indeed a perfect ecosystem for Deezer HiFi.

Thanks for your opinion @PaulZH. As a community, we're unable to endorse a device or service, we've got other departments for it. But we're always open to new integrations :wink:

Clear. But I also understood that you expect Roonlabs to make the next move towards integration. Is this still correct?

Yes, @PaulZH. If they contact us to integrate Deezer on their side, we'll be open to discussing this :thumbsup_tone2:
