Say Goodbye to Deezer Connect đź‘‹

End of support for Deezer Connect 
 

Our goal at Deezer is to create the best listening experience by providing features that bring the most enjoyment to our community. Sometimes, that means having to make tough decisions, like letting go of features that no longer serve our listeners. 

The remote control feature, also known as Deezer connect, allowed users to control their music playing on one device from another device. We understand that many of you found this tool useful. However, in order to dedicate our resources most effectively and provide the best possible experience to our users, we have decided to discontinue support for the Deezer Connect feature.

We appreciate your understanding and adaptability to these changes. We are so grateful to the users that enjoyed the Deezer Connect feature and we know some of you will miss it. But don't worry, there are still other ways to listen to Deezer across all of your devices. If you need any help discovering other options, please don't hesitate to visit our devices page! 💜

    It’s a shame

    I have no other to say and i hope this functionality come back

    if not, i will go to another platform because in 2025 is ridiculous not have this feature

    Other streaming platform say thank you Deezer for this downgrade and for new customers

    I was about to subscribe after my free trial just because I can use this functionality with Moodle player and my high fidelity system.... Now I'll look elsewhere

    Allow me to redact the statement of Deezer:

    „Our goal at Deezer is to create the best listening experience …. that means … no longer serve our listeners.”

    This is a right shame, the only way I listen is with an older phone with Deezer connected to my sound system 24/7, purely to play music via Deezer Connect. I did leave a negative review regarding the reliability of Deezer Connect in the past, but I thought it had improved and stopped crashing the app entirely and was stable for the last year or so.

     

    I will be reconsidering my Deezer subscription

    Greetings.

    I was thinking about moving away from Spotify and ready to give Deezer a try.

    However, the removal of this feature and the lack of support for the Android alarm clock are blockers for me. I’m constantly switching between devices and the ability to have the current position in the current track synced is just necessary.

    You have the potential to be a real alternative. UX is as important as your catalogue. Please reconsider this decision.

    I will try the app for 3 month. After that delay, in absence of such feature, I will be forced to cancel my subscription and either keep Spotify or find an alternative.

    Have a nice day

    Hello everyone,
    I have been a Deezer user for a while and I was using the Connect feature (through my android phone) to listen to music on my favorite player (moOde). Unfortunately, after your decision, I will be forced to review my plans by choosing a new provider (spotify or qobuz) to continue listening to music.
    Please review your plans!!!

    Thank you

    Deezer was the only competitor with a comparable feature set to Spotify but it looks like you're no longer interested in providing a compelling service.

     

    Really not happy about needing to cancel my Deezer subscription and go back to Spotify but this is the decision I'm being forced to make, and I don't think I'm the only one.

    What do you mean with “this feature no longer serves our listeners”? Of course it served us! Especially with tools like pleezer which can make basically any device a Deezer Audio Device! I kindly ask you to overthink this decision. Otherwise I fear that you just give your potential customers another reason to move to the competition.
