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 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.

@Yula 

The automatic recommendations unfortunately have nothing to do with the problem mentioned in the thread. I also deactivated it, but when casting, more titles are placed in the queue that are not wanted. :disappointed_relieved:

Why isn't this feature a mobile version?

I did that, but even on the android app, every time I search for just one song I wish to listen to, there comes a playlist I didn’t ask for right afterwards. I hate the way deezer pushes new music. I control the things that play , not someone else. It’s exhausting.

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!!!

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.
