Hi, 

 

Does anyone have a working way to actually choose and play music on an Echo device through deezer?

I purchased Amazon's Echo Studio and setup the Deezer skill in Alexa. It is an absolute heap of garbage. I cannot choose songs on the Alexa app and am limited to voice commands or previously played content (through Alexa) where Alexa straight up ignores what I asked and plays something else. Why does Spotify have actual integration into this service while Deezer has basically nothing.

I tried creating a Playlist in deezer, and that doesn't work with Alexa.

I tried using Bluetooth to play through the Deezer app and the sound is very quiet, quality is poor.

I tried using Deezer Connect and it doesn't find the Echo Studio. I dont know whether to return the Echo, cancel Deezer or both. Just a terrible experience all around. Extremely disappointed. I was planning on listening to music today, not yelling at Alexa.

Edit: AND Deezer got rid of their Fire TV app. Just perfect. Great work guys.

Hi @DL92 thanks for your post and sorry to heat that you are struggling to use Alexa voice on our Amazon's Echo Studio.

There are indeed some issues when playing content requested via voice as system keeps delivering live versions instead of the radio version, but other request play fine.

i just tested a couple of requests on Amazon Echo and on Sonos speaker and they worked fine.

Please have a look on this article if it helps - Alexa on Deezer and Alexa Voice

Regarding the connection with Bluetooth, make sure the audio settings you have selected - Alexa Audio settings.

If you have an Equalizer activated, try to deactivated.

Finally, regarding Deezer Connect, that feature for now, only allows connections between mobile devices and PC.

I'm sincerely disappointed that there is no answer to this.

Does Deezer have an android version.of the app at all? Preferably one that supports horizontal viewing and hi fidelity streaming in apk format?

I see the lack of a proper connect to Alexa has been a feature request for years. I’m trying to drop Spotify because I live in Canada and don’t wanna send any more money to the USA given the president of that country immense disrespect towards its northern neighbour. I think there’s probably a lot of people like me in Canada right now, I’d love to come to Deezer or some other non-US service, but it has to have the right functionality. And being able to stream to Alexa, etc., is core functionality. And yes, if there was a non-US version of Alexa or Google Home or Apple home, I would be there too.
