Tópico: Access VDJ database from phone?
Deezer lets you star favorites and lets you create playlists, but if you're not on your laptop there's no way to see your star ratings or to search for keywords you've added to songs through Virtual DJ's tag editor. Right? And there's no way to assign star ratings through Deezer. Besides remotely taking control of a laptop, could there be a way of accessing my Virtual DJ database from a phone? Could it be located in the cloud?

Bonus: At first this question was about using the database for reference - for maintaining star ratings whichever device you're using. At first I wasn't asking about playing music from my phone using the VDJ playlist, but I'll add that. I hate the POI editor, but if you have POI edits, and you wanted to play a Deezer playlist but have it use the POI edits, that might be possible if the database was online, right?

So I don't think the aim of allowing access to streaming platforms is to make VirtualDJ a full client for them that is on par with the regular client that they provide.
The aim is to give your an extra source of music for which you maintain the details within VirtualDJ for DJ playback. Things like POI will most likely never be added to Deezer's API as that is outside the scope of use of the service Deezer provodes - music search and playback, not DJing.

With that in mind, and with respect to access to the DJ specific info from other devices (playback, POI and playlists), you have to think of the problem from.the perspective of VirtualDJ use, not Deezer use.
They all should be possible given you know how to transfer/sync your VirtualDJ database to other devices - Cloud Sync and General Database backup/reload + transfer immediately come to mind.

The only thing that might not be possible right now is playing VDJ playlists on your phone.
VDJ doesn't have the full-fledged implementation on phones right now (for many good reasons that mostly lie wirh limitations of the hardware and device OS's themselves), only the remote for the computer install, so the only real way you'd be looking at is playlist transfer back to Deezer, and that would most likely be the feature request if not already possible for VirtualDJ playlists containing at least one song sourced from Deezer if the API supports playlist creation or even update/other streaming services that have playlists creatable/updatable via the API.
