Spotify or Deezer

26 replies

I currently subscribe to Apple Music, having previously used Deezer. I have ordered a Beosound Moment & it seems Deezer is the preferred service, although I seemed to think Spotify would also integrate with B&O sound and TV systems. 

Anyone had experience with Spotify with the Moment? 

I had Spotify for years until I ordered my moment when I had to switch to deezer.

Then because they refuse to allow MultiRoom play on a bang and Olufsen system I moved to Deezer and cancelled Spotify

I loved Spotify because it was generally just better and much easier to use. I loved following playlists that were updated by others in a much better way than Deezer.

Still Spotify lost a customer

Apple Music would be great on the moment.

Tidal forever! As far as I know it is the only one offering non-compressed music streaming

I too swapped to Deezer because of my B&O obsession. I like it quite a bit, the music recommendation is brilliant (guessing that along with their European routes are why B&O like them). Haven't used Spotify for almost a year but found it's recommendations rubbish. It is weird Moment doesn't have Spotify Connect though - it is great how it treats the Spotify App on your phone as a remote essentially.

Thanks for the replies. I'd have liked to have kept Apple Music, but looks like I may have to go Deezer. Deezer does integrate well with iTunes on my Mac, so it's not all bad. 

I have an Essence Mark 2 and I have used Deezer, Spotify, Apple's new Music, and TuneIn.

I rate Apple first - I already have tens of recommended playlists down loaded.

Followed by Spotify - I prefer its interface, linkages to friends' tastes via FaceBook, and search capabilities.

I would rate TuneIn next.

And Deezer last.

It does beg the question why B&O chose Deezer as it's partner for streaming music?

Think it's all about licensing Multiroom capabilities. Sonos have an exclusive deal with Spotify. Apple are generally difficult to deal with, and require 100% control over design.

I didn't realise Spotify has an exclusive deal with Sonos. Spot on re Apple. They don't need to promote its service through a third party. 

Apple has done a deal with Sonos for Apple's music to be an option.
