Deezer announces High Definition streaming on Sonos Globally
Deezer has just announced that it’s taking its Deezer Elite service out of the United States to more than 150 countries as part of its partnership with Sonos. Details within.
According to a recent survey of Deezer Elite listeners, the majority of listeners will never go back to listening to MP3s with 90% of Deezer Elite users say high quality sound is important, and 91% of them saying they can hear the difference. So it is perhaps with great anticipation that Deezer is announcing it's next move with Sonos - making Deezer Elite accessible to users outside of the United States.
Users in Europe, Latin America, Asia Pacific and Canada are set to gain access to the service in phases over the year. Meanwhile, existing Deezer listeners on Sonos will be able to upgrade at no additional cost, while Sonos promotional users can upgrade for 36€ (for a full year). Pricing for new users will be announced in March and a 30-day trial will also be made available.
Tyler Goldman (CEO of Deezer North America) says: “Our partnership with Sonos offers the ultimate experience for music fans, combining the best wireless home music system with the best music streaming solution,” referring to Deezer’s 35 million track library and ability to stream lossless FLAC (Free Lossless AudioCodec) files at a standard of 1,411 kbps or higher.
