Hi there Deezer. 

 

Is there any update on this project? This would be a killer feature and help to retain some loyalty. 

 

Thanks

Adam

Hey there, @Adam Ogiliev

Yes it is still in our projects! 

I subscribed to the trial but the fact that this feature is missing is a deal breaker. Sad.

I just want to add that this feature would be important for me too. 

How in God's name can this take so long?

You are neglecting your subscribers!

Why??????

Any news on this?? This has been going on forever!! Why is it taking so long?

It's a shame how you are deceiving your users.

I have been paying your HI FI service two years just awaiting this feature to be available, but I'm almost sure now that it will never happens.

Ok, I'm going to wait 2 months more and then I will be back to Spotify.

I have been waiting for this feature for 4 years!! Now I've lost my hearing! Thanks!

@Superschlumpf apologies for the misinformation (my bad and I prefer to be transparent rather than deleting the post)
Sonos support for Deezer connect is not available in any country yet and there is no ETA either.
What we recently launched in France and the US was Deezer on Sonos Voice Control and support for the Flow Moods.
As soon as I have information regarding Deezer Connect I’ll let you know

Yep, also want this functionality. Is there a technical reason unique to Deezer or does Sonos charge Deezer for this functionality? If neither please advise if on your roadmap of future improvements.

@beresford_bear

The „only“ thing to do is the technical development of the function. 🙄

It has to be done using the Sonos API from within the deezer app. But this seems not to be such easy. They have been working on this for a time but i‘m not sure if they still are. There are a lot of projects to do and imho maybe Sonos direct control has to wait.

Exactly @Superschlumpf! The good point is I believe something will come up with Sonos as our long term partnership with them. Let’s see 🤞🏽

Unbelievable that you have not been able to get control of Sonos through your app in five years. Just started trial but without being able to play my content from Deezer app through Sonos system is a deal breaker. You are obviously not listening.

Hey @rmmcginnis, as Johnathan said we are working with Sonos and news will come soon. 

 

How is this coming? I'm currently leaving Spotify due to the new “tik-tok-style"-app, which f-ed up the UX. But I'd really like this feature so I can choose Deezer over Tidal. Tnx.

5 years people have been asking for direct play from app to sonos (not via their app)

Please

Please do this. 

I’m so happy in the car when I can use the real app. 

Come home to my 3K sonos system, and it makes me use the sonos app. So sad...

Please

I have waited for years now for this feature. So sad that this is not happening. I am deeply disappointed by Deezer.

I’ve bought a Sonos last week and yes, it works fine while using the Sonos app, but hopefully there will be an update. And after this update we will be able to use Deezer and Sonos.

This is an Android issue, I take it? I just AirPlay directly from the deezer app to my Sonos.

That’s right.

If I use my Android phone or tablet I have to use the Sonos app to stream music from Deezer to my Sonos speaker.

And if I use my iPhone from work I can stream directly from Deezer while using AirPlay.

Don’t get me wrong, it works fine this way using the Sonos app. I’m glad that it works.

Its been 5 years since the initial request. WHEN are you going to implement?

The sonos "Flows" cycle through the same old artists and tracks i am not interested in hearing anymore. Is there a way to atleast refresh the algorithm from the deezer app that sonos can read?

Hi @Mdkharris1, indeed it has been a long time since users started to request there.

We are working very closely with Sonos to bring every year new features, but I can’t tell when this feature to connect Deezer to Sonos will be available.

The only way to play directly from Deezer to Sonos is when you use an iPhone or iPad while using Airplay.

But when using this on a Android phone or tablet, the only option is their own Sonos app.

At the slight risk of sounding pedantic, Sonos Voice Control is another, quite viable, option for playing directly to Sonos, and with deezer being one of the few services compatible, it’s a huge plus that shouldn’t be overlooked.

I set deezer as my default service on Sonos, and do much of my listening through voice requests.
