Deezer already had very good applications for iPhone ,
Android, Windows Phone, iPad , Mac, Windows 8 for connected TVs (Samsung, LG
& Toshiba) but also radios Parrot.
We could think that the music streaming service had
circled the field of possibilities. But no! Deezer announces its version for the Xbox 360 games
(although we imagine it should also work on the new Xbox unveiled tonight).
In some ways, this application tunes resemblance to
Windows 8 (which is not surprising since Microsoft seeks to bring a unit in its
product range around the famous Metro interface - Windows 8).
Users do not have a premium account + will have access to
thousands of radio stations as well as thematic discovery mode (which allows 30
seconds of listening on all tracks).
Premium users will, in turn, access the full service and
find their playlists and albums in unlimited listening.
The Kinect technology for music
Deezer could have stopped there, but they decided to
bring a little more. Indeed, if the navigation can be done with the controller,
this video also features a voice control (with the possibility to state the
name of a playlist, for example) or gestures through Kinect (where you can
scroll and select a track by moving the hand).
Deezer has not forgotten a game console is often shared
between different players, since it also allows the ability to easily switcher
a Deezer account to another (up to 3 accounts simultaneously).
