Only solution is to uninstall latest stable version 6.2.23.93 that is on the playstore.
Then you find older version of the app for example 6.2.22.1.
It is easy to find on various apk sites , just type deezer older versions on your browser.
After you install you should disable automatic updates on google play store because it will update on new version that has issues.
Rudi what do you mean by Android player update later this year?
Hi Rudi,
Yeah so today I found it has been constant. If I use flow it stops after two/three tracks at best, favorite tracks and or any playlist I have saved and or downloaded. Seems like it struggles to load the following track. I use both WiFi and mobile data and not much difference with either.

Thanks for coming back with further details, Dan
Once more, apologies for the experience. Could you also let me know which part of the platform is more affected? You mentioned playlists and albums, but have you noticed one feature more than the others?
Do you also listen to music on WiFi or mobile data?
With a new release every couple of weeks, we need to keep digging to improve the experience. The good news is that this year our Android player will get a much-needed update!
Latest update from playstore is causing this issue. Even the next beta 6.2.24. has same issue
Downgrade to the version 6.2.22.1 from March 1. 2021.
Thanking you. Android version 11 and the app version is 6.2.23.93.
Appreciate it and any help you can give. Love the service but this is just getting in my way.
Thanks

Sorry for the inconvenience, Dan
Could you please let us know your Android and Deezer app versions? I'll reach out to our devs with your details so that we can sort this out 
Hi as per comments above I'm now having this issue pretty much every song. Cant listen to a playlist or album without it stopping then if left half hour later will start.
I tired cache fix, reinstalling the app etc etc and it's not getting any better. I have a Samsung note 20 ultra and hasn't been an issue until the last three weeks. I listen to hours daily but it's becoming to much of a problem.
Any help please its becoming such a an nuisance I'm considering a change but that would be disaster as I would loose my large number of playlist I have spent years developing.
Any help greatly appreciated

Thanks for your honest feedback
The issue here is that we have the same error message but for different errors, in different platforms. So while you're assuming this is the same problem from 3 years ago, unless you can specify the app and device, I can tell you that it isn't 
In any case, we accept that this message happens more frequently in Android devices, especially if the user installs the app in an SD card. More recently, the same error message has been popping up when HiFi users are listening to their FLAC tracks, irrespective of the platform.
On iOS, we usually don't get this type of error message, but there are other things we certainly have to improve 
So if this is something that happens to you, please share a bit more so that we can look for solutions that are more suitable to your device, and also that your feedback goes to the right teams to help them fix it 
Hi Rudi
So people have now officially been reporting this issue for a year now - still no fix.
So far, every issue I have had with Deezer has not been fixed. The support responses are literally, and not metaphorically, like they are having a joke. It’s almost like it’s a game - “right, I’m going to respond with a completely random solution to a completely different problem, and completely dodge the question in the ticket. Then I’m going to mark it as resolved just for good measure”.
I have to say, I think your support is somewhat close to the support offered by EA (yes I went there).
I know 4 other people who use Deezer. These people use varying iphones and android devices - they all have this exact same issue.
I would go as far as to say every Deezer user encounters this issue - it’s quite scary that there is a problem on such a vast scale that can’t be solved. It’s not like you haven’t had time - looking through forums online people have been experiencing these issues for about 3 years.
Rudi - please tell me you have some positive news, and some sort of fix is in the works?

The same error message can be caused by different reasons, 
That doesn't make a difference. I know that fix for "stuck" tracks it has been around for years even when I was just a normal premium subscriber. That has been a particular bug with Chromecast.
The unable to load issue cannot be solved (for me at least) by clicking cancel, try again, or by skipping tracks back and forward. The same problem tracks (growing in number) play flawlessly via the sonos app - using which I have no problems. This clearly seems to be a Deezer android app issue - which is how I listen to my music 75% of the time.

Hi there
Thanks for reporting.
What you're experiencing, being a HiFi user, is our current issue with tracks playback, where the workaround is to go back one track and move forward again. Our devs are working hard to determine why this is happening so that we can fix it. So all your support and patience is very much appreciated 
To add to my last post. I've checked, and this problem exists for the same tracks on other android devices with different versions of Android. My WiFi strength is fine, more than enough for 4k Video streaming.
Hello
I have this exact same issue - songs I could play before showing the requested content is not loading message. And of course the music just stops completely at this stage it never skips automatically to the next track. This happens with specific tracks, or even specific albums, or sometimes e.g. 90% of one album. It is not a general issue - longer (i.e. more data) tracks will playiplay before and after no problem. But returning to the problem tracks always has the same issues. Regardless of which network I use (2.4gz or 5gz). And the number of tracks this happens to is growing.
I contacted support who told me to change the cache settings and reinstall. No effect.
Then I tried again a week later following your exact steps here, one by one. Although why one album needs to be downloaded onto the internal memory before the SD card is loaded and can be used as the source of downloads is beyond me! The issue very much remains.
Android 10 user.
Luckily my yearly transaction ends in August, I ope you fix this issue for all the users before then.

- uninstall Deezer
- remove the SD card

This should fix the issue but please let me know if you need any further help.

Hello. I am unable to load anthing on my Deezer app please see screenshot above.
This started last night and I clearered the cache last night and this did not help.
I have reinstalled it not too long ago and it's still not working.
I Can search for new artists but when clicking on them, it does not load, nor does it load when clicking on my recent playlists.
Please can you advise why this is happening? I've tested this on my WiFi and mobile data and the issue still persists.
When checking the online app, it works.
