Hi, I thought I'd recommend the method I use to everyone. I usually use ****** to batch download my favorite Deezer playlists to a local computer, which can be a Windows or Mac computer, and then open the Sonos app for MacOS or Windows. From the Administration menu, select Music Library Settings. Click the + (plus sign) button on MacOS or the Add button if you're using Windows. Then select Deezer songs that have been locally converted to popular audio formats and add them to Sonos.

This tool is called ????

This doesn't resolve the trouble of wanting to use the Deezer app to control the music playing on Sonos

@Leonídia.Deezer that seems crazy, it's some simple API stuff, it would take a Dev a week or two to build this feature for Sonos and all the other major streaming services like Bluesound, Cambridge etc.

Hi @Andrew71 @Gogg, thank you for reaching out.

Unfortunately, we still don't have any updates regarding this matter.

Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

Come on guys, please please please get this up and running - this thread has been going for five years now.

Hello everyone, unfortunately this was a project that was pushed back several times. 

We apologise for that, and understand your frustration. 

We are currently re working on it and I am confident this time will be the good one! 

Is there an update on when this will be?

Hi @awesomemac, thank you for your message.

Sonos Voice Control is currently only available in the United States and France, so since you are from the Netherlands, it won't be available for you for now.

More info about Sonos voice here.

Regarding the issue of the "playlist returning to the beginning after viewing the home screen," as this seems to be on Sonos side, er have already report this to them to see how this can be resolved.

We appreciate your preference for using the Deezer app instead of Sonos. We are collaborating closely with Sonos to make this option available, but we do not have an estimated time for its implementation.

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

 

I’ve got an Ikea/Sonos Symfonisk picture speaker. This has no voice option.

 

The Sonos app does work, but it has it flaws (see video). The playlist keeps on getting back to the beginning after viewing the home screen. I already been in contact with Sonos about this. But I would prefer using the Deezer app instead of the Sonos app. So even after 5 years I keep on hoping that this could be possible in the future.

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.

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.

 

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?

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

 

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.

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

@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.

I have deleted Deezer on Sonos rebooted and reinput Deezer again on Sonos still have the same problem.

Deezer is not recognising Sonos.

please advice.

 

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.

@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
