Say Goodbye to Deezer Connect 👋

Hey there ​@Patrick H. 

There's obviously a reason you’re testing deezer, some dissatisfaction with your current provider, maybe even beyond the recent price hike (we’ve seen quite a lot of former Spotify users here), so perhaps you will weigh the benefits deezer offers versus what you were used to.

Whatever you decide, thanks for giving deezer a try. There are trade-offs with every service and we all need to find what works for us.

Best of luck wherever you land.

Damn, I just wanted to switch do Deezer and integrate it with pleezer to my multiple moode PIs in my home.
Then I found this... It’s the wrong way, you cut features for users without real need. 
Just canceled my plans for a family subscription - and I’m not happy with this decision because I wanted to support a european alternative.

Begrijp ik het goed dat deezer connect bedoeld was om via je deezer app op de tablet te connecten met sonos of andere  aanbieder. bij spotify werkt dat handig ook I.c.m chazam. podcasts op deezer hoef ik

ook niet, dat was eerst toch ook niet zo? de app wordt er chaotisch van. deezer kan zich niet onderscheiden door ook podcasts aan te bieden, dat doen er als zoveel,

Hi ​@GropplerZorn 

Thanks for the reply. I was a Spotify user ready to make the switch to Deezer, and yes, I really like the service. But the decision to kill the open-source ecosystem is a dealbreaker for me. It’s not an improvement to the listening experience, it's a move to control the ecosystem and force users to buy licensed hardware.

I am not buying into this. Even if there are things I dislike about Spotify, I will stick with them because they let me stream the way I want, on the hardware I choose; that is an optimal listening experience for me.

I can only hope Deezer might reconsider this strategy. For me this decision feels very shortsighted.

The  quality of sound of deezer is better. They treat artists better. Spotify was treating artïsts bad and where do they invest their mony.. I never heard of big deezer scandals.deezer thinks straight about AI music. Little features for convenience they skipped some time ago. No reasonto quit deezer 

I am in the exact same position, just created my premium account and seeing this stupid decision-making, I will be moving back to Spotify of Qobuz. Good job team!

Now that Spotify is rolling out lossless with even higher quality than Deezer, so not having Connect seems like an even more bad decision… 

I will move to Spotify just to try the new format, the things I will miss with Deezer is Flow and ability to shuffle my music, but Spotify has really good new recommendation features.

I have had Deezer for many years now so probably will be back soon :)

What kind of crappy player stops playing the music on the computer when u change track from the phone. I want it to continue playing from computer and not start playing from my phone speakers. If this crappy behavior continues I will stop my subscription. Especially reading that you had this feature before and ffs stopped that function! Just add the possibility to remote control from webbrowser and continue playing on that player even though I use the deezer app on phone within a month and I stay and may write a positive review.

Please consider a new and improved DeezerConnect. It’s the only feature other platforms have over Deezer. Deezer sounds better.There’s a missed opportunity here. It sounds so good on the Bluesound Nodes

This is a shame. I left spotify, assuming this was a standard feature across all platforms. I have very expensive studio monitors hooked up to my pc and am often not close to it so I use my phone.
