    Hi Ian

    Like most music services, Deezer lists in order of popularity based on algorithms of play counts, requested, and release date placing most likely desired artists/albums/songs at the top. It is delivered that way by the Music Service API.

    Deezer isn't listed like that in their app. And Tidal in the Bluesound app is alphabetical. But thanks anyway for the response.

    I am still curious. For about the last week Deezer favorite artists lists sorted based on their recently added sort on Deezer itself. This showed the most recent and the rest in reverse alpha order. This at least made it easier to find artists. Then it just suddenly reverted to whatever strange algorithm they use. Was there anything BluSound did to make this work briefly or was it a function of the stream from Deezer? If it wasn't you maybe I would need to go to Deezer to see what happened. Thoughts? Thanks

    There appears only one way to list Deezer artists in Favorites A-Z or any other way you like. (1) Make sure you have a list of your Favorites, sorted in whatever way you want. (I sort in a semi-alpha way.) (2) Delete all your Favorite artists. (3) Add them back in on Deezer (either on the web or using the BlueSound interface)... in backwards order. The Deezer API shows in BlueSound in order of when you added the artist, with the newest first. Thus, if you added Z first and so on until you get to A, then your list will be in your desired order.

    I keep my list under 200, so it doesn't take too long to redo the list. I mostly keep the list of favorites so I can do a quick scan and play related artists radio. Otherwise I use the search function.

    Maybe someday there will be a Deezer Connect?
