Deezer service through Alexa...

I find it odd that the posts by “serial insulters” in this community are allowed to stand until somebody replies with what moderators perceive as an insult in return. If there are no replies, the original insults posted by the serial insulters remain intact. Perhaps those who cast the first stone should learn to cast no stones.

I appreciate the concern, Toolio. That shouldn't be the case in any threads, and if you see one, please feel free to flag it to our attention.

In this thread, I don't see any remaining insults. There are some aggressive comments and I'd encourage everyone to consider their posts, and how they could have been more friendly and welcoming. However, as long as we're just arguing points and disagreeing, there isn't any need to start calling names. If you have a specific comment you'd like to discuss, please feel free to send it my way and I'd be happy to continue via private message. We probably don't need to derail this conversation over Deezer any further.

I guess the fact that the Deezer community manager said 2 months ago that Deezer are working on new features including alexa compatibility threw me....

Deezer has been actually promoting that they’ve coming to Google Home for several months. There are zero hits on a Google search for Deezer Alexa. Yet you are here expressing frustration at Sonos and Amazon because some “community manager” on some obscure forum said that Deezer might be working on Alexa integration at some point in the future? Sheesh... :D

Deezer has nine million paying customers. (I am one.) For years it had an exclusive higher-res arrangement with Sonos. Yet you call their user group “some obscure forum.” How many paying customers does Sonos have? If the number is fewer would you describe this community as even more obscure?

Completely agree. Rooting out those that greet new users with rude and needlessly aggressive responses would seem to make most sense.

We have a Sonos System and I was given an Amazon Dot for Christmas. We have got the Dot working with the Sonos system, but there doesn't seem to be an interface for requesting music from Deezer - Alexa doesn't recognise Deezer. The original reason that we signed up to Deezer was through a free period with some Sonos products. Is Deezer integration going to come along soon, or do I have to ditch it in favour of something else like Spotify or Amazon Music?

Now, an official announcement from Deezer. The Deezer skill is now available in the Alexa app, though it’s currently telling me it can’t be enabled in my region (USA). That’s probably just a rollout glitch...

Sounds like good news. Thanks Chicks!
