Try our remote control and let us know how it works!

I use Linux and an Android phone, so I guess I’ll be SOL unless I switch platforms...

any news about the remote (android → desktop)?

I want to use my smartphone to control deezer on desktop

Hey @Nir, we are working on it, should be released this year! 

great i have been waiting for that for years/ but it does not work for some kind of “personal accounts” like tim música. that does not make sense since the music is playing only at one device. the other is just a remote

Hope to see this soon. I cancelled my subscription last year because when I asked about it on one of the forums, I was given a pretty rude response from someone from Deezer. It’s amazing looking through these comments at how many people can’t use this service due to ONE feature. You think companies would like making money, but pooping on your customers seems to be the new trend, Spotify included. How many people have been asking for Hi Res for years? I don’t get it. Hopefully this feature will be done “soon” and people can finally make the leap from a platform they are mostly happy with, but want to leave. It really shows the disconnect from CEO types and normal people. 

For example, this feature was asked for over 4 years ago. Not only that, it took them 3 years to reply. Now it’s in iOS beta for a year?

It’s so bad that it takes so much time to get this feature and that beta only got pushed to one OS.

Frankly I enjoy the service, I’ve been a paid user for many years and now I’m a paying HiFi user, but this is really killing me. It forces me to switch devices all the time between phone and computers, which many times means pairing and unpairing BT speakers and headphones.

My Xperia phone is my main playing device, at home, at work, at the gym, etc and it’s always paired with headphones and speakers for music and calls. I just need to control it from my personal and work computers. The reverse is not as useful because if I’m playing to speakers, I use BT or Stream/ChromeCast, usually from the phone as well.

awesome!! can’t wait for this on android

I think it’s bizarre that to a certain extent this already works through the synchronized queue list, if the first pass of this feature just skipped a track on the playing device from any other deezer login that changes the queue this would be ok.

It’s in a weird state now where I can customize a queue on the deezer app on my pc and it updates on my phone which is really neat to be fair, or SKIP on the PC app, and it’ll do it on the phone as well, but it starts playing on the PC and pauses the phone playback! It’s so close!

It’s still beta, I’m trying it and sometimes it works well, somethines it fails. For example, if I’m playing something on windows and at the same time I have deezer opened in my iPhone, it fails to detect the Windows device, I need to restart Deezer on iPhone to detect the Windows device. Once the Windows device is detected, the current song is restarted u.u

It’s a shame this kind of features doesn’t work well in 2022….
