For years I have used Deezer on my Alexa in the Netherlands. I go away for three weeks in 2024 and I come back and now it doesn't work. I get told that Deezer isn't supported in my location. But it was for years!

 

What has changed? Why can I no longer use Deezer via my Alexa in the Netherlands? (Obviously I can use bluetooth but that isn't the point right now)

I can use commands like “play my favorite songs,” “play song X,” “play songs by (artist) Y,” or “play playlist Z,” but the last one is pretty unreliable. My own playlists usually work fine, but the public ones are hit or miss.

Yeah, well as you pointed out, that works quite well now. I did a reboot of all my speakers and also changed my Dezzer country to the UK. I also renamed my playlists in so the chance of Alexa misunderstanding the name of the list are smaller. For example, my top lists are now named: ‘A-list, B-list and ‘C-list’ 😂 I guess British Alexa will have no problem with understanding my voice saying that, especially after finishing the voice recognition improvement wizard in the app (still need to do that one).

The only thing ‘new’ that happened is that my Audible purchases now do show up in my Alexa app haha. I am not going to try a hard reset of all my six Echo speakers, because Amazon discourages that, and I’m not going to risk breaking stuff that works and took quite a while to setup and finetune.

Thanks for all your replies and suggestions! 😊
Have a great weekend!
