Missing feature that Spotify has: choosing Sonos wifi speaker directly from Deezer iOS app. Currently you need to use Sonos app to play deezer on your Sonos wifi system.

Highly welcome function!

Hey everyone,

We're pleased to let you know that this is being developed as part of our 'remote control' feature this year. I'll surely share more details once I have them, in the near future.

Thank you for all your support and see you in a bit!

Casting directly to Sonos from GPM was great. YTM doesn't have this feature. The Sonos app is terrible and doesn't give full choice of Deezer content.

 

If Deezer could add the ability to cast directly to Sonos, it would sure make a lot of us happy, especially those like me that switched to Deezer from GPM.

Just to chime in, the Sonos app is terrible as it doesn’t allow selecting more Flows that the main Flow. In order to use any of the daily or weekly flows, you have to first use the Deezer app to save it to a playlist, and then find that playlist in Sonos. That’s really annoying since Flows update so often (which is a good thing!).

Hi there! I just switched from Spotify to Deezer. I was in LOVE and totally refreshed until I realized that you can't use the Deezer app to play through Sonos. Is their an eta on when this function will be added? Sadly might have to go back to Spotify because of this. The Sonos app is terrible and you lose so much functionality when using it - therefore I never use it. Darn! Au mon dieu....

Hey @Haley Havana 

Sorry we're unable to offer that kind of control at the moment. Please vote for this idea here too, so that we can add more support to the project.

There isn't an ETA at the moment because it's a big feature to develop, but in the meantime, we're also working to improve the Sonos app integration. If you can't stick around, we understand, but please subscribe to the topics by voting so that you can get notifications from us and give us another chance once we get there :v_tone2:

Hey @Dennis.Bakker 

You'll be able to access more Deezer features via the app, not just the current ones. It's under development as we speak, so once I've got more details, I'll be sharing here. I hope to get more news in the next couple of months :thumbsup_tone2:
