I wasn't aware this feature exists to be honest. I was already wondering why Deezer isn't throwing in any suggestions for me. Where can I find it?
It’s interesting. Because I listen to a variety of very different genres, I think it sometimes struggles to find other things I might like. I get maybe ten hip-hop songs followed by a few metal songs and some random other things; the choices within areas that I like maybe don’t vary as much as I feel they should. The same songs appear too regularly, possibly my favourites appear too much too.
However, it’s useful when I don’t have time to think about what to listen to, but I skip more than I would want to.

I didn’t use FLOW ever once. I don’t need it. What I really need Is to control and operate my music database inside the Deezer. And after years here we are:
- There is no way to get notification from the artists I like. Instead, I still get notified about absolutely random music I’ve never asked. This is so ridiculous so i paid 30$ to developer who made a telegram bot that send me notification when a new album from my fav artists released, and it’s much more useful that in-app-spam-like notifications.
- It’s still impossible to rate albums/tracks that I like. Instead I have “popularity” that is completely useless. It’s even shows no number of listeners like spotify and have no sense at all.
- Unable to tag/comment or organize albums in more flexible way.

Hi
I tried the moods thing and it operates the same, plus I don't get it, so I ignore it now. The Flow is essentially useless to me until you all get it fixed. I do look forward to a genres feature though. Hopefully it won't become repetitive.

Hi
I have had the same experience with Flow. I have been on Deezer about 6 months; the first 3 were fantastic!!!! I thought Flow was the greatest invention since…… anyway, then it all went to hell. Despite having hundreds of favorite tracks and a few less hundred favorite artists, all I hear now is the same ol’ stuff on Flow, over and over, sometimes literally on the same day. I was getting very upset, especially since I had just ponied up for a year’s subscription!
Then, I accidentally stumbled across the playlists inspired by specific songs. I know I had used this feature before, but either I had not been paying attention or this feature has become remarkably better in the past few months. I use these playlists all the time and I am now hearing new music (to me anyway) that is as good or better than some of my fave music. Please keep this feature. For me it is one of the best parts of Deezer.
I am again bragging about Deezer to friends. And to think I came close to losing faith.

Have you tried our track mixes
Try listening to thise for a while and then go back to Flow
i’ve done everything already to try to “improve my flow” or whatever it didn’t change ANYTHING. It was fine like a week or two ago it was my favorite part of deezer now it only plays the same crap over and over there is no variation of music genre it just plays the same stuff i’ve heard 1,000 times already. It use to be the thing i got new music from now its the thing i hate to hit play on. I’ve liked songs in different genres, unliked songs in others and just about everything that has been suggested it doesn’t do jack.

sorry to hear this
whatever you've been doing to flow as ruined it for me. it no longer plays a variety of music just plays the same crap I've listened to already. liking or unliking favoriting stuff doesn't change this era of music it's stuck in no matter what I do it doesn't play what it's been playing what just feels like last week or so. flow is unlistenable every song is something I've heard or pulled from the same era with no variation undo whatever you have been doing to it.

I think there is a technical issue with Flow which is causing a lot of the song-repetition angst. It’s hard to describe under what circumstances it happens, but sometimes it starts repeating the playlist, as though you’ve just started it from scratch. It will play exactly the same songs as it has already played, and in the same order. What causes it to restart the playlist I do not know, but it happens.
The problem is exacerbated when you have 2 devices. You might stop playing Flow on one device, then get in your car and play it on your other device and it will play all the same songs that it has played before. I get the impression it pre-loads the playlist rather than selecting a new song after each song. Worse, it doesn’t seem to keep track of which songs have already been played, so it will play them again.

Sigh… having said that, it is now repeating like crazy. There must be thousands of tracks to choose from and it keeps playing the same ones.

Until now I’ve been very dissatisfied with Flow, but today it seems to be working pretty well. It is playing a decent range of good music. It still doesn’t quite do what it claims (“and new discoveries”) though - mostly playing songs I already know well.
Whether “new” is supposed to be outside the era of my favourites, actually new or unknown songs from the era, I am not sure … but on the rare occasion it does actually play something I’m unfamiliar with it is usually pretty bad! (I do wonder if bands do deals with streaming services but I will say no more about this.)
If it played more “new” material I would be happy with it.
I like FLOW, but it needs to improve the choice of random track selections. It seems like when it’s confused it will default go to my favorite tracks, but isn’t the whole point of FLOW to be kind of a instant radio mix of the style of music.
Flow works pretty well, except for one huge problem that seems to have existed for 4+ years… How do I get it to stop playing Christmas music?
I have never “liked” or “hearted” any Christmas songs, I have created 2 playlists, for Chriistmas Songs and play all of my Christmas music from them. I have tried every other workaround that has been suggested in the various posts regarding this issue and nothing works.
I would like to continue using flow to discover new music, but not if it's going to keep giving me Christmas music.
FLOW is an Awesome feature and works ok for me.
I would love to see one simple thing to make Flow easier to interact with.
Please allow users to either (Right click) on flow to Ban the song or let us simply Hover over the Flow button and then Left click on the options listed.
For me 99% of all songs are Disliked regardless of the streaming service.
I want an efficient way to get to the music I Love!
Hello
going back to Flow and skipping some raggae songs, it will fix itself and propose different music!
A tad ridiculous :) but I will give it a go

Hello
going back to Flow and skipping some raggae songs, it will fix itself and propose different music!
For some reaon Flow has just started choosing only Ska/Regge. Which don’t get me wrong is my favourite Genre , but it used to pay a mix.
Win11 Desktop app
Lately (since start 2022) Flow is sh*t.
I listen mostly to rock/metal, also in my own language (dutch)
But now flow is giving Folk singers, Apres ski music, rappers and even childrens songs just because “they are Dutch”.
I have been clicking on “do not recommend artist” about 2 times a day for a month now.
Same here just give an option to disable that silly mood thing. I listen to metal so my mood is always dark and not funny and flow now playing ******g schlagers and après ski crap

Thanks
In the meantime, I’ve heard from other users that “Mixes inspired by” is working really well as an alternative to Flow; very accurate and with less repeats.
Thanks

Flow 2.0 was working very well for me, I good upgrade in my opinion. Now back to the old Flow and I notice more repeats, something I wish I could control in both Flow and as well my other playlists.
