End of the road for Deezer? Move to Tidal? It’s all Elon Musk’s fault!

Tidal integrates within the B&O app for Mozart products such as Lab 28 but not Audio Streaming Engine (ASE) such as the Beosound 2/Beosound 2 GVA.

Multiroom works ok to join between products on both platforms.
My 1st gen BeoSound 1 and 2 both got updated with Tidal support and it seems to work pretty well.  My BeoSound Stage got an update adding Tidal support but it just keeps skipping through the queue without playing anything.  I’m grateful to B&O for adding support for Tidal, which they should’ve done much sooner.  I just wish they would test their stuff properly, because the only thing worse than not pushing software updates to older products is pushing software updates that introduce new bugs.  It seems like the Harmony also got the same update, though I don’t own one of those, and with B&O jacking the prices right up I don’t think I ever will, as much as I might want one.
I like Deezer and hope that B&O retain it as an option.

Reviving an old thread.

Spotify Connect - Not natively supported in the app, but I can start streams to one B&O speaker from the Spotify app and then all my ASE speakers can be joined from the B&O app (or using touch to join)

Tidal Connect - Same as Spotify Connect, but only supporting Mozart speakers.

Deezer & Tidal - Natively integrated into the B&O app. I can select a song and play to any ASE speaker. And then join other speakers (from app or from "touch to join"). This only works though for ASE speakers when initiated from the B&O app. Streams initiated from the Deezer or Tidal app cannot be expanded to other ASE speakers from within the B&O app.

 

Is my understanding correct? Anyone tried?
