Deezer now in Alexa app

Coming to Sonos soon? While Deezer just showed up as a music source in the Alexa app, the skill is showing geographic restrictions here in the US. Odd, since it’s available in US English. Perhaps it will come with the big April update, Sonos?

    According to Deezer, this should work with Sonos.

    What devices can I use Deezer on Amazon Alexa with?

    Deezer is available on all Alexa-enabled devices.

    Thank you for your message.

    We are planning to launch it in the USA on 09/march/2018. Can you please try again on this date? :)

    Presumably the new Deezer 'skill' will allow their streaming music service to play on the Amazon Echo devices, or any third party speakers, that are cabled to the line-out port, or speakers that have been paired to the Echo via Bluetooth.

    I’m not so sure it will link through to smart home devices, but time will tell.

    Glad Deezer is now available via voice.

    It’s not showing up on my account just yet, but before I sign up, is anyone able to clarify how many Deezer music streams you can initiate with voice?

    With Spotify it was just one was which is useless in a multi room system. If Deezer has the same limitation I will be gutted.

    Now reading that hifi or lossless streaming not available via voice. A bit of a bummer for guys like myself who subscribe at that level.

    It certainly should be via Sonos, just not on Echos, newer gen Echos don’t support FLAC.

    I hope so but I suppose it would be good if Sonos could clarify. I actually wouldn’t doubt if it’s not available even via Sonos. I do hope not though.

    Hi Chicks,

    Can you confirm if you are able to start more than one Deezer stream by voice (assuming you have multiple Sonos zones), or if you are restricted to just one (as is the case with Spotify), and what Deezer plan you are on?

    Many thanks
    Andrew
