Doesn’t appear to be a solution for not hearing unrelated music after I play a song I searched for on desktop. This is the final time I hear some random song play that I didn’t want to hear. Subscription cancelled. 

same, something wrong with situation when app doing something by itself, not by user request. I totally don’t like some random music after searching one track in desktop app. And I totally don’t understand this thing as a concept. If I want listen music that I can’t control, I’ll turn on radio. What the idea behind this solution?

Currently, Deezer does not provide a built-in option to disable auto-play final cut pro x crackeado when the last track ends.

  1. Create a Playlist: Instead of playing tracks individually, create a playlist with just the track you want to listen to. When the track ends, the playlist will not have any additional tracks to automatically play.

  2. Use the Queue: After selecting the track you want to listen to, add it to the queue instead of directly playing it. Once the track ends, the queue will be empty, preventing any further tracks from auto-playing.

  3. Utilize Deezer's Sleep Timer: If you're using the Deezer mobile app, you can take advantage of the Sleep Timer feature. Start playing the track, then open the Sleep Timer settings. Set the timer to a short duration, such as 1 or 2 minutes. When the timer ends, playback will stop, preventing auto-play of additional tracks.

  4. Provide Feedback to Deezer: If disabling auto-play after the last track ends is a feature you would like to see in Deezer, you can reach out to their support or use the feedback channels available within the Deezer app. Let them know about your preference and suggest adding an option to disable auto-play for a more tailored listening experience.

I recently cancelled my Spotify subscription because they forced autoplay after all albums and playlists using the “Spotify Connect” feature. There was no way to turn it off. Deezer is doing the exact same thing when I’m “casting” my audio to my Google Home devices.

Looks like I’ll be seeking out another music service. I don’t understand why it’s so difficult to stop playing the album after it ends? I mainly listen to albums and I want the music to stop playing after the last track so I can find another album to listen to. I don’t want to listen to auto-selected nonsense.

Coming up two years with no fix for this? … guess I’m cancelling my subscription and looking elsewhere then.

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.

Hello @Saturninesoul to avoid getting recommendations on the end of an album, just open the queue, and turn off option “Automated recommendations”. With that option OFF, you will not get any recommendation when queue ends.

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.

 

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!


 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 :)

Just out of curiosity, why not hit the “stop play” button on your device?

Hi @WilliamElijah, thanks for sharing a workaround to disable auto-play.

Hello @Saturninesoul, on the desktop app, if you deactivated the automated recommendations on the queue, unless you delete the app, the option will not turn on again.
 

 

@Yula , can you confirm that resolving this problem i.e. getting rid of unwanted autoplay is definitely included in the development schedule. A problem report must have been raised months ago and the change agreed by now.

Surely all that is needed is to make the function “opt-in” on all devices.

Hey @Saturninesoul 

I am also an album listener and one of my favorite things about listening to deezer through my Sonos system is that when I select an album, it just plays that album.

When it is complete, it takes me back to the days when I used to put vinyl on my record player. I could decide to flip the LP or select another one, platter it up, and relax and peruse the liner notes.

Enjoying this now.

There are actually a lot of reasons I enjoy Deezer, and if I can sort this out it would be very nice to continue using it. I do sometimes enjoy auto-play, but only when I intend it to start, and I would expect it to be music in that style that I have already added or liked. Surely not top radio hits, and especially not explicit ones at that. Easy to see the potential for embarrassment in many social situations.

Which “desktop app”?  I rarely use Deezer on my Windows PC, and when I do, I just access the website in my browser. Do I need to install another app just to access this option?

Install deezer from their web site or from Microsoft store 

Still no fix, and I am not accepting a non answer. This is not a bug, this is a decision. This has been broken for at least 7 years now. Looking at Deezer still not fixing it, after almost a decade, this is a choice, they earn more money this way. Should I not get an answer within an appropriate time of two weeks I will forward this to the Bundesnetzagentur and the Verbraucherzentrale Hamburg. They will look into whether Deezer is shuffling in randomly to optimize interaction royalties.

 

Stop lying. We are paying already. Curb this shady business decision. Greetings from a Network Engineer not oblivious to what is happening in the Business. Nobody has ever touched this issue from the dev team, since the finance team WANTS IT THIS WAY.

Two weeks till I switch to Tidal, unless this shit gets fixed. I'm fed up. I suggested everybody does the same. Same price, waaaaaaaaay better offer. And an option to upgrade quality as well.

Lie and die Deezer.

It's also strange that sometimes a style of music starts playing that I don't listen to at all and I don't like it and that makes it even worse. Please remove this automatic music playback that no one wants!!!

Yes when casting.

I am with most people here, can you PLEASE make a simple feature that stops playing when the music I selected is done?

 

This cannot be a hard feature to implement, and I am not at all interested in what your system think I should listen to (next).

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.

Now that is an awesome solution. Could you recommend some albums that are exactly 

  • 5 minutes
  • 10 minutes
  • 20 minutes
  • 30 minutes
  • 45 minutes
  • 1 hour

long? Thank you in advance. 

Hey @Neebl 

So you want Deezer to be quiet after the current album?
Then just start an album and let it run to the end.
You don't need a timer for that, do you?

@dee_dirk

Seriously? I mean, what is this entire thread all about? Plus numerous others too. Plus at least one that I myself started over at the german community, in which you (I assume there is only one @dee_dirk over the forums) also replied (in good spirit and seemingly helpful, I must say)?

This reply of yours is just ridiculous, no?

@Neebl

OK. I may be a little overtired. Understand the problem. :hushed:
In fact, I was aware that it was currently only about the timer, but not about the automatic additions, which is why the shutdown does not work. Ashes on my head.

And yes: I am also the dee_dirk from the German community. There can only be one dee_dirk. :joy:

 

I've just changed my post, but you quoted me completely so that everyone can see what nonsense I've written… :sob:

@dee_dirk **** happens. It's all good 🍻

Same here, very irritating to get a whole playlist of unwanted tracks each time I search and listen to a particular song. 

 

I realise every additional stream probably generates revenue but come on! This is not the way to do it guys.

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:
