Watch out, Spotify and Pandora. There's a new streaming music service headed to the U.S.
Paris-based Deezer will soon be available through Sonos home-audio systems, the companies announced on Wednesday. Deezer Elite will be available in the U.S. on the Sonos Wireless HiFi System beginning Sept. 15, offering access to millions of tracks in high-definition audio.
"With a shared passion for high quality sound and a mission to make listening to the music you love easy, we've found a great partner in Deezer Elite," the Sonos team, wrote in a blog post.
Subscribers will be able to instantly stream their favorite jams and create custom radio stations based on the artists they love. The service also promises to help you discover new songs and artists with personalized recommendations based on what you like.
Songs will stream in 16-bit, 44.1kHz, FLAC lossless HD-quality, letting you "hear every nuance of your music, anywhere in your home," Sonos said.
Sonos customers in the U.S. will be able to try out the service in beta for free for a month starting next week. To get started, go to Add Music Services in the new Sonos Controller app on your mobile device. You can also find it with the desktop controllers by clicking More Music and then Sonos Labs.
For those without Sonos equipment, you can sign up on the Deezer website for a chance to test out the service.
At this point, more than 50 music and audio services are available on Sonos speakers, including Google Play Music, which was added earlier this year. For more, check out PCMag's full review of the Sonos Playbar and Sonos Play:1.
