Deezer playlists with Amazon Alexa

I respectfully disagree. I am not so naive as to believe that this is as simple as writing a few lines of code. If you look at the major streaming services and what they have been able to do with Alexa, deezer remains competitive, even without the proposed improvements.

Deezer offers Alexa integration and functionality with Alexa and works without issues on my Echo Studios. The do not yet have a remote connectivity function or support personal playlists. I think their decision not to stream in hifi is a deliberate one, as Tidal and Amazon (the only services to stream in hifi to the Studios) have both had issues.

Tidal does not have a remote connectivity function or support personal playlists. They do stream in hi-fi, but up until recently, I had constant, nagging issues with buffering, pausing, and stopping.

Apple does not have a remote connectivity function, they do support personal playlists. They do not stream in hi-fi, in fact, it’s 256 AAC.

Qobuz is not compatible at all.

YouTube Music is not compatible at all.

Spotify has a remote connectivity function and supports personal playlists. They do not stream in hi-fi.

Amazon Music has a remote connectivity function and supports personal playlists. They do stream in hi-fi. Their remote connectivity feature, Alexa Cast, leaves much to be desired. it does not remain connected the way that Spotify Connect does, but drops its connection after several songs of play. Their hi-fi streaming, up until last month, was so bad that I cancelled my Amazon Music subscription. It has improved, but Amazon Music serves as an example that these things need to be well thought-out, designed, and tested before implementation. And Amazon is dealing with their own music service and their own hardware.

I’m willing to be patient, there are more things I like about deezer than things I could complain about.

Amazon has the distinct advantage that they are dealing with their own hardware and their own ecosystem. Spotify Connect is unique, no one else has that system. I don't think either of your comparisons are accurate or fair.

Deezer has soundcatcher, no one else has an integrated music ID app, not even the giants in the industry.

Deezer’s new customizable Flow is also unique to the industry.

I do understand your wanting the connectivity, though. Maybe deezer isn’t for you. Like everyone else, you have to look at the big picture and weigh your options.

It came @Seba inostroza but it hasn't worked properly. So now we're invested to redo the skill, from scratch. Stay tuned this year, it'll be worth it!
