Alexa And Deezer
Alexa continues to get support for more digital services so that the personal assistant can appeal to more people. It’s already capable of streaming music from a wide variety of music streaming services and if this particular service was the one you preferred, you will be happy to find out that it’s now possible to stream music from Deezer through Alexa.
In order to access the Deezer and Alexa integration, you have to be a paying subscriber. Like Spotify, Deezer operates off of a freemium model — the service costs $10 a month for individuals.
Deezer voice control is now available on Amazon’s Echo devices as well as devices that are powered by Alexa, this includes third-party devices like the Sonos One. Users in 66 countries across the globe will be able to take advantage of this feature.
