Deezer announces 'App Studio' for developers, 'App Centre' store and Echo Nest partnership

Deezer may not be the number one player in the music streaming game, but it’s looking to gain ground on its biggest rival with the release of its “App Studio.” In addition to an “App Centre” for showcasing software that integrates the service’s catalogue, developers “can now place feature-rich apps inside Deezer.com.” The company also hopes that a partnership with Echo Nest should make it easier for devs to use music in their projects. A modest 8 items will be available in the App Centre at launch, including the edjing app for mixing Deezer tracks on virtual decks, and the cheeky Spotizr app for importing your Spotify playlist. The French streaming outfit has also been busy improving its social aspects in Facebook and through updates to its Android and iOS apps. Check out the PR below for more info on recent news, details on how to get developing, and the full list of launch-day App Centre wares.
