How to stop auto play on Deezer - when last track ends

Wait, its been literally 4 years and there is still no functionality on the smartphone apps to completely disable there awful recommendations that hijack the playlists? That's utter BS, especially since none of the recommendation are songs I might like. At that point the dev teams actively does NOT want to implement it. I get it.

I was coming from Amazon Music and Tidal because I thought the grass is greener here. Guess I'm going back where I was.

I had hoped for Deezer to be a good alternative to Spotify, but this autoplay thing is an absolute dealbreaker. For me, *playing one song/album at a time* is just basic default, not a fancy idea from unicornland that may or may not come true someday. And I certainly won’t go looking to find workarounds for this. What’s so hard about just making it an option and letting the user control whether or not they want to use it?

Very sorry, but I’m afraid I’ll have to return to that Swedish creep for the time being.

Hi everyone, thanks for sharing your feedback.

I’ll make sure to pass this along to our team.

I suggest that all of you vote for the idea "Automated recommendations on mobile." The more votes this idea gets, the more the developers will see how important it is.

So, make sure to vote!

“Unfortunately, on the mobile phone app this feature it not available as Deezer considers a perfect way to discover news song and artists.“

If it’s so perfect, then surely the users who want it wouldn’t turn it off?

But unfortunately, Deezer considers it a perfect way to make more money, so they won’t change it.
 

Doesn’t work when casting.

I want to stop listening to the same album after it ends. Why is it do hard? I have been using Deezer for more than ten years. This is something new for me. I am also a software engineer, this kind of dark-patterns make users frustrated. I like recommendations, I just don’t want the same album start all over again.

Hi @beskar, sorry to hear that we didn't meet your expectations.

To disable autoplay on Deezer desktop app and browser after the last track, you can turn off the "Autoplay" feature.

Please follow these steps:

1. Open Deezer and navigate to the "Now Playing" screen.
2. Click on the "Queue" icon, typically found in the bottom right-hand corner.
3. Locate the "Autoplay" toggle button and switch it off.

Unfortunately, on the mobile phone app this feature it not available as Deezer considers a perfect way to discover news song and artists.

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.

To stop autoplay on Deezer when the last track ends, you can disable the "Autoplay" feature. Here's how:

1. Open Deezer and go to the "Now Playing" screen.
2. Click on the "Queue" icon (usually at the bottom right).
3. Find the "Autoplay" toggle and switch it off.

Note that the availability and location of this option may vary depending on the device and app version you are using, so it may be useful to consult Deezer's official help documentation for the most accurate instructions.

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.

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.
 

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?

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

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?

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 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.

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

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.

Install deezer from their web site or from Microsoft store 

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?

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.

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.

@klivewarren 

Thx for your detailed feedback. 👍🏻

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.
