Just switched from Spotify to Deezer - unable to play songs from mobile to alexa

Posted 21st Mar 2023
Actually it was for my wife, she had a prem spotify sub @ £9.99 a month and used it to select playlist from her mobile to play on the Show in her room.

I saw the deal for Deezer at £9 something a year and switched her to it..... but seems it doesn´t have the intrigation to do what she wants i.e control the tracks from her mobile to play on the show.

I did manager to connect the devices by bluetooth, but doesn´t show the song cover on the show, and keeps dropping connection.

So looking like i´ll be switching her back to Spotify - unless there is something i´m missing with Deezer..... be very glad to hear if there is a work-around, failing that a cheaper way to get Spotify?

Many Thanks

    I've had this issue albeit with Spotify on alexa.

    It turns out as I use 2 accounts. My Spotify app and the linked (via the) skill one had to be the same login details. If my logged in app (on my phone) doesn't match the login in the alexa skill then I can't control it.

    When they match I can send to any alexa on the network. When they do not match these options are simply not there. Maybe it's the same for deezer.

    You could get a sonos speaker, add the account to sonos and use the sonos app
