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.

HOW THE FUCK IS THIS ULTRA-BASIC PROBLEM NOT SOLVED 8 MONTHS LATER?!?!?!

Desktop user here. Used the switch to turn off recommendations. Now that switch has disappeared from the queue screen, BUT I STILL GET RANDOM SHIT AUTOPLAYING AFTER MY QUEUE ENDS!!!

I have tried to use Deezer for bedtime stories to put my kids to sleep and the unability to turn this autoplay thing is very annoying as it keep playing tracks on and on. The moblie app keeps on pushing stories and we get into fights with the kids when I have to stop the autoplay. I have been looking how to turn autoplay off at the end of a track but no luck.

Hi @Gizmo2021

Have you tried our Deezer Sleep timer?

That will help a lot!

Select any music, audiobook, radio or podcast content to launch your Deezer player
Tap the Sleep timer icon on the middle-bottom of the screen
You can select your desired duration:

- 10 minutes
- 20 minutes
- 30 minutes

- 1 hour
On iOS devices, you can also select:

- End of episode
You will see a notification to confirm timer is set

Note: To turn off Deezer's sleep timer feature or adjust duration, simply select the Sleep timer icon

Enjoy Deezer!! :nerd:

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?

Holy hell, I just started my subscription a few weeks ago and now I find out there is no fix to this apparently old issue? Will have to cancel again.

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?

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.
