The song that impacted you the most -THE THREAD 🔉
@musicfanatic815 , I have a number of Echo devices and use them daily. Deezer will play genres, artists, genres, songs, albums, and playlists on requests. Not sure how you are using it. I think the issue is user playlists. The ones made by Deezer seemed to work, from what I recall, provided you knew its name. If you make your own, then you are out of luck. Just checked in to see if skill has been updated...looks like it has not. Still miss My Flow, but being able to cast from my phone to my echo from the app turns out to be an essential feature. There were songs I was literally never able to play with Deezer on my echo devices at all.
Thought I would check in on a whim again and the skill still has not been updated? Really?
Is the new Alexa skill coming soon? Eagerly awaiting before I re-subscribe!
Glad to see I am not alone in this, still waiting. Have read that Deezer has had some management changes recently. Perhaps this will now be a priority?
Is there any update on the Alexa skill? Even a Beta?
I did not renew my membership as the Alexa support is an issue for me, and have been going month-to-month with Amazon music but still hoping for some news from Deezer on an Alexa skill. Amazon still has trouble with non-English names, but the ability to use the app and "send" the song to my echo makes it workable. For me, that feature alone, more than anything else, is what I want from Deezer. Otherwise it is maybe a bit better with voice recognition, but not much. I'm still checking in here because after a year of Deezer, it simply does a much better job with "My Flow" than anything comparable. Any update on a new skill?
I wanted to chime in as my annual membership is coming up for renewal. The playlists are definitely an ongoing concern for me, most specifically because of the trouble I have of playing anything that does not have an English name that Alexa can identify properly. Oh the constant headache of selecting songs by “Gabri Ponte”….. I’m hoping for some good news on the new skill, especially as I use this more and more in my car via Echo Auto. In the meantime, I think I’m going to have to revert to the free service and give a shot at Amazon Music monthly hoping for the best here. Love Deezer, then discoverability of My Flow is mostly awesome, but that playlist support... Hi Santama, See my post above in this thread, the one about about Alexa routines, for a simple workaround for those difficult names. Cheers, G Thanks for that! Yes, routines work as a way to select particularly difficult artists, though no substitute for actually playing your own play lists which would

That’s not ideal, but one thing that could be done is to connect the iPhone to echo dot by using Bluetooth, so you could use the Deezer app in iPhone in order to play your own playlists. That works for me until the Alexa skill can’t do that by it self. Yeah, thought about that, but that has two major drawbacks which make it a no go for me: must keep the phone always in range can’t play music on multiple devices using a group Another drawback for me is that sometimes MyFlow picks a really great song, and I want to ask “What song is this?” Unfortunately just being connected through bluetooth means Alexa knows nothing about what is actually playing, so it has no answer.Hopefully this comes soon!
@vyrgozunqk That's an interesting perspective. There are times I might like to have an endless "My Flow" in video fornat for sure, but those are few and far between, and I would hate ads if I was paying for the service. I know if I was sitting in Deezer' s boardroom my question would be " can we do this for free?" followed by "would people be willing to pay extra for it? (because you can't do it for free)" I suspect the answer is no, which is when I would say if you really need to, partner with Vimeo or someone for a cut in revenues to refer content there, and let them handle it Hosting video is expensive and rife with problems managing content, licensing, etc. and I would prefer they focus on music, podcasts and maybe an occasional partner video/audio simulcast if needed, and leave it at that.
Absolutely would not want video. I use Deezer either in the background or on the go, and in neither case am I going to watch videos. Besides, there’s YT for that if I really need it. That’s not to say I wouldn’t want *some* better visual options:Visuallizers (oh how I miss you, winamp!) Maybe some cycling stills of the artist if they have them, for times when it is playing on my Xbox or Fire TV in the background. I’d love some kind of artist profile page, particularly for independents, which could include links maybe, but video to me would add nothing that youtube doesn’t already offer.
I’m glad to see this is being worked on, and that other users want it as well. I’m a little concerned about the “hopefully” bit :) ….it is pretty essential I think. To address the questions by SikoSoft, there is no workaround I am aware of other than using the app. I have found though that My Flow actually really works well, and is the reason I became a premium member (along with being able to upload your own songs to a private play list). It does take time though to learn what you like, but for me has been an invaluable way to discover new music. Hopefully there is an update soon.
Came to check if there was an update on using playlists.Recently subscribed to premium, and this continues to be a huge problem especially in the car where I use an Amazon Auto. Basically I am limited to “My Flow”.I’m sure the problem is more complex than it seems, but if there was at least a way to play “Favourites” this would go along way.
Came looking for the same answer as lots of others. Is there really still no way to play a personal playlist on Alexa? The issue I’m having: I listen to a lot of foreign songs. Alexa can’t find most of them because it can’t pronounce anything that is not English. My work-around is to get a song playing, then ask it what that song is called. Then I try to pronounce it that way. This is what I use playlists for, and it worked on Amazon Music. Problem: I can’t get Deezer to find the song without using the app. Then in the app, I can’t get it to play over my echo unless I share my bluetooth, which means Alexa knows nothing about what is playing. So basically I can’t use Alexa to play the music I want. Very, very frustrating; if I have to use my phone to play songs, I can just get them on youtube. Any other suggestions here?
