Hi Craig, We may have Deezer, but then again it took a long time for Spotify to be available here, same with Netflix and we still don't have iTunes Radio and other services such as Pandora or Rhapsody. But I totally agree, Canada is for the most part a good place to be. No country is perfect, but as an immigrant to Canada and somebody who has travelled a bit I can definitely say that it is always good to come home and , Hey, we can buy unlocked iPhones here from Apple on day 1 of a new release *smile* and with a country that is geographically larger than the US but with a population less than that of California it is not too crowded here, either.
Take care, Sieghard -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Craig Werner Sent: Friday, February 13, 2015 7:16 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Sonos and the Tidal music service Hello, Sieghard. You have now officially joined a small group of folks who are actively urging me to join the Deezer fan club. <smile> I may indeed succumb; but for now, I'm hoping someone will provide information on why it is that Deezer has not yet come to the U.S. as it has to Canada. Just one more reason why our Neighbor to the North is an enjoyable place to be.
