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.

The same issue here on Win10 desktop.

Please make it possible to play one album only when the user chooses to play one album.

It’s quite annoying that Deezer decides on its own to play more songs that I actually don’t want to listen to.

Thanks in advance for fixing this :-)

Hey @Francesco77 

Thanks for reaching out. In the Desktop app, it's easier.

Open your queue-list and scroll all the way to the bottom. Once there, toggle off the automated recommendations. Let us know how it goes!

Hi Rudi and thanks for your reply.

I found the toggle switch at the end oft the queue-list. Thanks for that :-)

Maybe it’s a good idea to put this switch somewhere else (maybe in “setting” or “prereferences” or so).

Since I never used the queue-list-view before it was impossible to find it without your help.

 

BTW: The little “back” button (<) does not always work as excpected in the desktop app. I did not find out yet in which way exactly but sometimes it has not function at all or it is stuck in a kind of loop.

It would be nice if this button would bring the user back exactly to the previous visited pages.

Hey @Francesco77 

Amazing feedback, this is what we need!

Yes, I'll pass on your suggestion to move the button elsewhere. Since you're using Deezer on a desktop, the queue is essential, don't forget that!

About the navigation buttons, please update the app to 4.32.1 where we fixed this :relaxed:

Keep me posted!

RE the navigation button -- the back button does not work in the Mac app.

Have you updated the app to the version where it is fixed?

Well, I was responding to the post that said it was fixed in 4.32.1, and my version is 4.33.1. So if they fixed in one, they broke it in the next.

We didn't break it @KWH :sweat_smile: but yes, it reoccured. Apologies for that.

We're preparing major updates to the desktop app so this issue doesn't happen again. I just need to ask you for your patience, we'll get there soon!

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.

 I just opened a Thread with pretty detailed Idea, how I think this would be more Intuitive. As I understand it people run into “Casting” without knowing they do. And it seems like the “Auto-Play” is already optional in Desktop, then I’m basically asking to integrate that Switch for Mobile-Apps too :)
