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

@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.


I'm about to cancel my subscription too as I really hate that deezer decides for me what I must listen to.

 

If I click one song I just want to play that one song. Not another 41 songs that Deezer adds to my playlist!!


Can you please simply explain to me why it is not possible to disable this feature on a mobile app when it is possible to do on a desktop? Is it really that terribly complicated? Next, can you explain to me why after the album is over, music starts playing that I don't listen to at all and don't like? Let me give you an example. Today I was listening to an album from the movie Rocky III. That album is from 1982 After the end, some terrible techno and hard dance started playing automatically, which I don't listen to at all, and it ruined my whole listening and really pissed me off. I could understand if a similar style of music started playing, but I don't understand why it jumps to a different level and something else that I don't have in albums or performers at all? Can you please explain? It's really upsetting. thanks


just moved from spotify to deezer yesterday and found that there’s no way to turn this feature off

 

vote +1 to add this feature


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).


+1 for this. It’s really quite astonishing, to be listening to a beautiful mournful track fade into the blackness and then suddenly get, as I just did, Bloodhound Gang roaring into my headphones.

Nothing wrong with the Bloodhound Gang - I just. Want. To not. Autoplay. Random. Songs.

This is clearly something which is important to the community, and should be easily selectable.

Deezer desktop on Windows, fwiw.


Has anyone had any luck with this cos its doing my head in having to constantly skip unwanted tracks from created playlists!!! :0(  Deezer dont make me go to the dark side ….Sxxxxxy, pleaseeeeee


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


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. 


Just signed up to Deezer and tried to play a song, i.e. ONE song. Somehow impossible with Deezer! Also, the sleep timer doesn't have 'end of track' as an option, which would be a workaround.

 

Apple music has something similar, you can turn it off, but it turns itself back on after a while. I cancelled the free trial after 3 days. Deezer hasn't lasted 3 hours!

 

Lossless doesn't matter if basic controls/features are missing or don't work correctly. I've never felt held back by the Spotify UI in the same way. It's not perfect but it has just enough so I don't notice.

 

I'll try Amazon Music next, fingers crossed!


Update: The android app for Amazon Music is terrible, almost unusable. The desktop app isn’t much better.

 

I have a semi-workaround to play one song, dragging the song to the bottom of the queue is relatively quick (approx 4 seconds). Also, searching a playlist so that there is one song found allows for one song to be played by itself. Overall, it’s not too bad, the android app is very responsive, so managing queues/playlists is not frustrating.

Having compared Spotify, Amazon Music, Apple Music and Deezer, it’s clear that Deezer and Spotify have the better Android apps. They are similar in speed and allow you to search your playlists, which is suprisingly important for me.

Apple Music’s auotmix is more annoying than Deezer’s and the app, while visually appealing, isn’t as functional in some areas. It also has an ‘Apple UI’ feel, e.g. the back button on android does nothing on many screens, and there are many context based gestures. As an andriod user it feels awkward, you may like it if you have an iphone.

Amazon Music is by far the worst, in terms of app quality, I have encountered many bugs and glitches in a short time. It’s also incredibly slow to manage playlists, adding a song can take 10+ seconds. Deleting songs from your library can only be done one at a time, which is insane. No playlist search and a buggy playlist sort feature (it struggles to sort by recently added). The desktop app is a joke, slow and buggy with zero additional functionality compared to the website.

Spotify is still the standard bearer, with only one real major downside, no lossless. Also, some of my favourite songs have been removed from the platform (but this could happen to any of them). After 5 plus years of Spotify premium, I’ve been lucky to have few complaints. The desktop app is by far the best at managing your library, fast and responsive. Being able to use ctrl, shift, ctrl-a/c/v, etc, is so good.

Deezer so far is a close second, the UI is familiar coming from Spotify. The MP3 upload is easier to operate than Spotify, and songs are actually uploaded to Deezer’s servers, unlike Spotify (which is more akin to transfer between devices). Uploaded music can be seemlessly integrated with your playlists, just like Spotify. However, there is still no excuse for not being able to disable trackmix.

I will see how I feel at the end of the trial.

 

 

 


@klivewarren 

Thx for your detailed feedback. 👍🏻


The designated solution in this thread appears to be obsolete. In the Deezer app on iPadOS I find no such option when scroling down th playlst while playing something.


Hi @rsbrux, unfortunately, the Automated recommendations is not available on the Deezer mobile app.
However this option is available on the desktop app.
Sorry for the inconvenience.


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 


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.


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


I just moved from Spotify because of their abysmal new desktop app. I am quite happy with Deezer, but just noticed that albums do not stop when over but that autoplay is always on. This is really awful. Is there really no setting to turn it off permanentely? This might be a reason to cancel my subscription because I hate it when music just continues after the album is over.


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.


OK, thank you. But do I have this do this with every album? I am nearly exclusively listing to albums from front to back. It would be really annoying to get autoplay every time I forget this. Are there plans to implement a setting for this to turn it off permanentely?


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


Seriously? Because I don’t want to have to use my device every time at exactly the same time the album ends, although this album is designed to end at exactly this time. It is weird to give this question as an answer to a totally logical question. You don’t think it would make sense to make a permanent setting to make albums and playlists end at the moment they are supposed to end?


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.
 

 


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.
