Voice control comes to Deezer on Apple HomePod and HomePod mini and is now available for Premium, HiFi, Family and Student plan subscribers. Currently 70% of smart speaker owners use voice control to regularly play music and Deezer users can make this their default music service. Then just ask Siri to play any song from their global catalogue of 73 million tracks.
All paying subscribers with iOS 14.3 and above and the latest software on HomePod can use their voice to issue a range of easy-to-remember commands, such as “Hey Siri, play my Flow.” You’ll then hear an endless mix of tracks you love as well as suggested tracks to help you discover new artists.
Voice control also allows you to play specific tracks, artists, albums, favourites or playlists. If you haven’t set Deezer as your default, make sure to say “on Deezer” at the end of your command such as, “Hey Siri, play Bad Bunny on Deezer,” or “Hey Siri, play ‘Dance Monkey’ on Deezer.” You can also like or dislike tracks, play on repeat or shuffle.
Deezer HiFi subscribers can also use their HomePod and HomePod mini to listen to tracks in CD Quality audio. A three month free trial of Deezer HiFi is available here.
Nicolas Pinoteau, Director of Partnership Solutions at Deezer, said “Our listeners don’t have to compromise on audio quality thanks to HomePod. HiFi users can still enjoy all of their favourite tunes in true lossless audio. But, don’t worry, even if you don’t have HiFi, Deezer on Apple HomePod is the perfect at home companion when you need to multitask or want to give your eyes and fingers a break.”
Deezer on HomePod and HomePod mini is available in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Mexico, Spain, UK and US. To start using Deezer on Apple HomePod or HomePod mini, launch the Deezer app and connect your account to your speaker in your settings.
