Feel at home with Deezer on your HomePod

Ohh, I like this feedback @gmcoates! First hand! Thank you!

I highlighted your reply so that other users can hopefully see this and figure it out. And will obviously forward this to our devs as well 

Would be good if others could let us know how great got on and if the find the same as I did or something else.

Another observation, when I say ‘Hey Siri, play “playlist”’ I get told it’s not able. However if I go and click the heart on the playlist and try again the same happens. Some time after that when I try it works, so something happening with playlists that aren’t ‘loved’ and a little time before Siri is able to respond.

Intriguing @gmcoates let's pass it on!

I agree about your point above - I was hoping for more HomePod users to reach out via our community. The thread is open so let's hope we get more testing 

Hi, a little more feedback. I had flow playing and a great track came on which I wanted to add to favourites, when I tried I was told that this wasn’t yet implemented, would be another really useful feature to have.

Have two OG HomePods paired in stereo. Deezer integration works very nicely. Have installed the audioOS 15 beta profile which pretty much borks Apple Music but Deezer continues to work very well. To my ears the Deezer Hifi sounds nicer than Apple’s lossless implementation so far. I notice that if I start Flow with Siri it will often turn off after two or three songs. A similar issue occurs with Apple Music (switching the defaults between the two) “Siri play music’ will often end after two or three songs. Seems to be related to wifi latency or something. If I stream Deezer via my Beosound core it will stream all day with no problems at all. For what its worth it seems Apple have quite a way to go to make their lossless service functional (disabled in latest beta update).

Hey @1961russ 

This is exceptional feedback, I must say. Thank you for sharing your unique experience with us and the rest of the community.

We'll work with Apple on improving the issue you mentioned above. Please keep us posted if you notice anything else, just like @gmcoates did above 

Firstly, I’m loving the integration of Deezer on my HomePods, especially since I’ve upgraded to HiFi and this is the first time I’ve tried it. I’m finding the same as gmcoates above with Flow, but as long as I stipulate ‘on Deezer’, Siri plays it ok. I’ve been testing Siri to see if she can find playlists, and it’s been 100% spot on so far for me, as long as I say the words playlist and on Deezer. Maybe the integration has improved in the last month or perhaps from Apple’s side?

The only useful thing I can see that’s missing is the ability to add tracks to a playlist via Siri.  This can be done for Apple Music via the HomePod and apple tv for Siri. I’m told that ‘Deezer hasn’t supported support for this’. If it was possible for this to be added in future (maybe third-party users can’t access some functions, I don’t know), it’d be very useful. 

I have a subscription with Apple Music til the 4th August, and a yearly subscription here. At the moment I have to stipulate Deezer to Siri. After my apple music sub runs out, will Siri just assume Deezer without me having to say it?

I’d like to thank Deezer for the level of integration you’re putting into the Apple ecosystem, and can’t wait to see what you come up with in the future (friendly hint again, Apple TV  ).

I'd love to have Apple TV with Deezer too @Logan_A 

Thanks a lot for your detailed and honest feedback, how nice!

I also think that making a playlist with Siri would be awesome and that's something we can definitely keep on the radar to be developed in an near future 

Hi maybe i can add something to the problem. If I omit the command "on Deezer" on my OG Homepods, Siri does not play anything and says that I have no music in Apple Music. When I test it on the Homepod Mini's, it works fine.
