How to stop auto play on Deezer - when last track ends

Hi

I simply want to stop deezer automatically playing new/random music when my track/album ends.

Not interested in recommendations, I just want to control what I to listen to (at all times), not what some AI thinks I want.

This is easy in spotify, but I can't find this simple setting in Deezer. Trial started today

This is a deal breaker, I like the app so far.

 

Android - Samsung S9 - deezer up to date

Hey @mareep@Neebl Have you deactivated the “Automated recommendations”? You have to do it from browser or desktop app. Start playing the album, Open the queue, Scroll down and deactivate Automated recommendations. 

This isn't an adequate answer. Of course I've deactivated the “Automated recommendations" in the queue. The autoplay is still happening when I'm casting to my smart speakers.

Apologies everyone, just wanted to make sure it was deactivated! This is an abnormal behaivour, I have notified our devs team about it. Thanks for reporting it.

Yes please, I want to select and listen to only one album or playlist and then stop. Please.

If you're referring to the track mix that launches at the end, thank you very much for your feedback! But please do confirm if this is happening when casting. The teams are actually looking into improving this and I've just forwarded your comments @Placido09 @Fahnjim :relaxed:

I'm not sure what 'casting is. For me it is happening when I get to the end of the track or album I have been listening to. This is streaming onto my my Android phone (Samsung S9).

Thank you for paying close attention to feedback, this is very highly appreciated.

This feature as the title of the thread suggests is called Autoplay in Spotify. It is accessed in the mobile app under home/settings/autoplay

Thanks for coming back @Fahnjim @Placido09 

For casting, it's been looked into but it might take some time before development. Just because the teams are working on different things at the same time - we're a small company.

For the Android track mix, the teams got the feedback and will discuss this in the meantime, to figure out how to move forward with a better feature :relaxed:

Hi @Rudi ,

I get the same issue when I use Deezer on Sonos with Alexa. Specifically, when I request Alexa to play an Album (Deezer is set as my default music streamer), a Deezer playlist starts playing when the album concludes.

Would this fall under ‘casting’ or ‘android track mix’ or is it another issue altogether?

My kids use deezer to get to sleep and I would really appreciate to somehow stop the device playing sound all night.

Yes, this bothers me a lot.  Deezer should work like a classic player.  I choose what I want to play.  Then I don't want something else that I don't want to start playing automatically.  This feature should be optional as Autoplay on Spotify but not by default.

I agree it should be optional too @Placido09 but certain devices that option hasn't been developed yet.

@maczac @teregosa your feedback is equally precious, I've been discussing this with our devs.

@teregosa when it comes to Alexa, it's part of the skill, so neither casting nor Android. I personally like this option on my Echo, but I totally get it when you want to set the music to sleep.

In the meantime, this is my workaround, you pair your phone with the Echo. Then, you cast the music you want via the Deezer app (Bluetooth casting) and then you use our brand new sleep timer to switch that off automatically. That could be useful to you too @maczac :relaxed:
