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.

I turned this automated suggestions feature off and somehow it’s back on. 100% dealbreaker.

Nothing ruins the vibe like some commercial garbage playing out of nowhere.

Sorry about that @Riverglass 

Where is that happening? When you play a song from Search results? Is this on the desktop app?

Please give us a bit more info, we should be able to help.

Very simple request. I never, ever, want to hear anything that I haven’t hit play on or added to the play queue. No matter where I start playback from. I use desktop and mobile. How do I configure settings to achieve this?

Thank you for looking into this, I’d like to make Deezer my primary lossless steaming platform (I’ve used them all, and will be a lifetime subscriber of the ideal service), but I’ll have to look elsewhere if this is not an option in the interface.

How is it that sometimes there is not a simple “play this song next” queue? Why am I sometimes not presented with an option to place the new track at the front or end of the existing queue?

 

Also, a very minor thing I noticed on the MacOS desktop app is that there is no (command + , ) shortcut to get to settings like most other apps generally have. That would be a nice easy addition.

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.

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.

Sorry to see you go.

I will keep telling them about this issue as legends, but power is on devs and managers to do.

Deezer doesn't even deserve a censored dollar until he learns to play just what he's asked to.

Thanks for the feedback @Riverglass sad to see you go, I'll let the teams know.

Please refrain from abusive language @e2t, constructive feedback doesn't work like that.
