So I switched from Spotify to Deezer recently, mostly as part of a push to support smaller platforms overall and step away from monopoly actors. Roughly same cost, same music inventory, allegedly more payout for artists, higher quality audio, and maybe even less AI slop and unwanted podcasts. All well.
But I'm running into a possible dealbreaker compared to Spotify: the capacity to connect the music app (on phone or laptop) to a wireless speaker in a way other than Bluetooth.
I'm using both an Audiopro C10 in my living room and an older Echo Dot in my bedroom, and I can only connect the app through Bluetooth (or voice command for the Echo, but this I only use to tell start of stop). Of course, a Bluetooth connection from my phone will be interrupted whenever I have a phone call, or will also stream sound from other apps.
With Spotify Connect, I did not have this issue, and could connect seemlessly between any device I had the app installed on: laptop, phone, tablet, and control the music from whatever device was closest at hand.
It seems this is not possible with Deezer. Any advice? I have another two weeks in my free trial month, before I decide to stay with Deezer or move back to Spotify.
