I do hope you can work it out - adding another streaming service option would make Roon an even better experience.

Please let us know if thereā€™s anything we community members can do (or not do) to help the effort along.

Just use Deezer then I reckon. I very much doubt audio books would be integrated and flow as others have said would be replaced by radio.

+1 for deezer on Roon.

How long will it take, it should be on the priority list.

Deezer is much better experience then qobuz or tidal imo.

Not sure how the experience is much different if they are all hosted in Roon?

It isnā€™t if it is all presented through the Roon interface. But people have their favourites and will always champion them. Iā€™m lucky because Iā€™ve almost always been Tidal but it must be frustrating.

Yes I guess so. I was with tidal for years but recently swapped to Qobuz for the true hires. But in all honesty I hardly notice a difference since 90% of the time Iā€™m using Roon.

Iā€™ve been ignoring a lot of PMs and emails about Deezer integration from all the usual suspects, so itā€™s probably best I just clarify the state of the union hereā€¦

Things were moving with Deezerā€¦ Earlier this year, we were in touch with their Chief Product Officer, VP of Customer Engagement, and Strategic Partnership Manager. They seemed pretty eager and asked for a ton of information. We provided all the answers in late February and signed an NDA.

Unfortunately, nothing has moved forward at all since then. Unsure if it was just delays followed by COVID-19 happening, but this project is stuck in Deezerā€™s hands right now.

Given the enthusiasm on their end, Iā€™m hoping itā€™ll pick up some speed as soon as their schedule allows. COVID-19 isnā€™t helping and the complete radio silence isnā€™t encouraging, but yahā€¦ these things take time.

In the meanwhile, donā€™t forget to ā€œvoteā€ on their page: https://en.deezercommunity.com/got-an-idea-50/roon-compatibility-843

Voted, and I hope you didnā€™t just blow your NDA haha.

Now we know NDAs are part of the process Iā€™m enthusiastic about Amazon HD :crossed_fingers:t2:

They havenā€™t told us anything yet! :roll_eyes:

I am not sure what would keep deezer from pushing this forward. Theyā€™d benefit a lot. Theyā€™d probably even gain Tidal/Qobuz subscribers as they have a better library. Especially to those that are satisfied with CD-quality.

Hope this happen I would prefer Deezer over others.

Same! I donā€™t want to support MQA and while Iā€™m subscribed to Qobuz, I think lossless CD quality is enough and I would prefer a bigger library to more bits for files. :slight_smile:

I cross my fingers for something positive to happen - rather sooner than laterā€¦

Eagerly awaiting for Deezer integration

Roon team, any update on Deezer support? I have to keep Deezer as it has a lot of content Qobuz (or Tidal) do not have. For now this is detached from everything else and I would love to have inside Roon!

Nothing to report. Ball is in Deezerā€™s court.

Iā€™m hoping for some news soon. At Deezer, they are aparently planning what to develop for the next quarter, so they are not yet able to post anything about a (hopefully) upcoming integration.

Iā€™m crossing my fingers for some positive news soonā€¦
