Sync play on different devices

I’d like to bring up a topic that has already been discussed (started 7 years ago), but which, despite many requests, still seems to have been ignored.

Unless I’m mistaken, sync play is not working between different devices. This means that when switching devices, you have to search for your music all over again, which is very frustrating. This feature is available in many other streaming applications—for example, Spotify has handled it very well for many years.

From what I’ve seen, there used to be an option (Synchronized Queue-List), but it didn’t work very well and is no longer available today.

Is there any plan to bring it back?

Thanks

This!!!! I’m trialing out Deezer right now and this is the one feature that has been the biggest pain with switching from Spotify. I listen to music at work and am frequently switching between controlling from my desktop to controlling from my phone which Deezer does not support.

I would like to be able to listen from my phone (i.e. headphones connected to my phone), but, for example, play or pause from my laptop.

The reason this is useful is because I am often walking around my office (out of range from my laptop) but when I am at my desk I like to use the desktop interface because it’s easier to use and also so that I am not on my phone while working.

Apple Music’s utter failure in this department is why I’m currently testing all the other services, and Deezer is barely better and in one respect significantly worse: that pop-up whenever I switch from phone to my iPad to my laptop and back “Hey someone else is listening to music on your account 😮 naughty naughty do you want to keep listening on this device 😊 or maybe give us more money 😏” is extremely irritating and on its own basically a dealbreaker for me. Not interested in paying more money every year to be condescended to for using a service in a normal way.

Just switched to Deezer and this is the feature that is going to be a deal breaker for me. On Spotify if I’m playing on any device, I am able to see what’s playing and skip on my phone or viceversa. Even just remembering what I was listening to last on another device. Too bad as I am tired of the AI slop on Spotify and I’m actively looking for a good replacement

I just migrated from Spotify, and I want to switch (or control) between desktop app and smartphone app seamlessly without being borderline threatened by that freaking notification. Fix this please.
