Chromecast and Android: No 'play next' or 'add to queue'

I also switched to Deezer a few weeks ago just to find out that for Chromecast there is:

• no queue functionality, not even adding songs
• shuffle function no longer available once you cast
• lossless playback not functioning even though you can choose it in settings, as other users found out
• Volume normalization probably also not working on Chromecast as it differs a lot to me (but that could be subjective)
• cant really use another device on my amp since Deezer Connect has apparently been killed

I am really really disappointed that this basic functionality has not been taken care of. Meanwhile Spotify added lossless and Qobuz now has Qobuz Connect...

I agree. This is basic feature. Adding tracks, remove tracks from queue, rearranging the queue... Especially when listening at home, on streaming speakers, having guests over.

Sorry Deezer guys, but what streaming app are you secretly using? Tidal or Spotify?

I wanted to use Deezer as a Spotify replacement. Even informed my friend that we switch the Spotify Duo account to Deezer, because I liked Deezer after some testing.

Now I must notice that a important and basic feature like the queue does not work properly. When I cast music to a device there is simply no "add to queue".

That a basic feature as this is missing is weird. But I see in the "Deezer lab" new features like "adjustable playback speed" is hot. That is frankly said, embarrassing for whoever is responsible. Basic features missing, but niche features get development time.

So the search for a Spotify alternative continues

You’re not far off when you said it won’t be fixed in  next 5 years . 
 

Still waiting and still can’t move to deezer until this is sorted.  Know it’s not much and no one at deezer will care as I’d only be one subscriber but it’s about 4 years of family plan payment they’ve missed out on from me 

Just reading about this - such a shame…… was wondering why it didn’t work  - dealbreaker

This was one of the things I left Deezer for

I think this is more a fix than a feature. We should have the same experience regardless we are using Bluetooth, Chromecast, AirPlay or not.

Hey there, I am so sorry to be the bearer of bad news but this feature is not going to be implemented for now. 

This been sorted yet ? Or any update on an eta for it ?
 

Really wanna drop Spotify and come back to deezer but this is a deal breaker for me

@Jaime. or @Rudi , can you please give us an update when these basic functions will be added? Tnx!

This really is a dealbreaker when having friends over and listening to music on Chromecast. Will be moving over to Spotify sadly who support Chromecast properly.

I honestly thought the app was bugging when I didn't see these two options in the menu.

I've found CC support to be lacklustre in certain other competitors but this a new low.

Hey @Rudi 

We are nearing the end of 2021 now and it seems that this hasn't been implemented yet. You have any update for us?

(I'm using a Google nest audio, streaming from android.)

Any update?

It should be basic feature. Actually, it is a deal breaker for me,  as I use Chromecast all the time, and Deezer doesn't seem to support Chromecast that well.

So… Any update ?

I understand it has been a while and frustrating at the same time.
I’ve ask our devs for any update and will get back to you soon.
 

When will this error be fixed please?

Three years and still nothing. Amazing.

Deezer, please add the functionality to Deezer, I too would like to be able to use a play queue while casting, this is pretty basic functionality. Thanks

One of our proudest moments @DP4 thanks so much for the nice feedback, it's refreshing! 

We're also working on improving everything else you already told us. We'll get there!

I know I’ve complained a lot about Deezer so here’s some praise I’ve possibly just found one feature that will keep me on Deezer . Just found out I can sync music to my fitbit and not need to take my phone out running.   Never realized that was possible on a fitbit to do. 

I totally get your point @DP4 I've been pushing the feedback you mentioned during this time. It's just that the team in charge of this is actually one of the busiest teams in the whole of Deezer - we have numerous partnerships and huge projects with them involved - I'll let them know what you think 

Completely understand if it’s not been prioritised  but reading through this this is something that's been asked for going back years and every other music streaming service that can be linked with google home is capable of doing this so someone who has some pull at Deezer must see on here the people asking for this function and  be able to get the app developer to  make the minor changes needed for this to work 

Will keep an eye on it and hope you can surprise me (if you can will be straight on for family hifi ) but not expecting anything to be done about it anytime soon

Thanks for the honest feedback @DP4 it isn't about complexity, it just hasn't been prioritised as you can control/edit the queue and then cast. But I totally get what you mean and I strongly believe we'll be getting this done at some point. Your comments here help us to add "pressure" to get resources allocated to the feature development. So please stay tuned to our community, no matter what kind of decision you make around streaming services
