I was also at first disappointed with the recommendations, but you need to learn Flow. Play play play, everything you love and give hearts to your favorite songs and playlists and albums, add as many of your favorite artists and play play play and ban artists you don't like and Flow will soon catch your note. I am very satisfied. But you have to make friends and devote time to it.

Yes, indeed. Let it learn.

On first day lame, now it is much better than Google’s Feeling lucky which was okay, but always played same favourites over and over and over again. On Deezer I hear new tracks, new favorites, old classics over and over and over again. Today I paid ONE YEAR in advance for this great service.

Pay 10 months and get 12 months is their annual discount. I paid years for Spottily and then GPM receiving no discounts for loyalty. This is my new home for hard dance music since 29.06.20.

They gave me option to keep 2 months I already had trial. They suggested next time I need to cancel with them, go free, and buy annual again with discounted prices unless they give better ways.

I like flow, I like mixes, this service is good bargain at 99,90 a year for this amazing quality.

It works like a charm when something is great.

This is great, worth to pay.

Hi there @Aravaslac

Sorry you were unhappy with the answer given. Perhaps this topic wasn't the best home for your comment. But I understand what you mean, you'd like to be able to filter the live versions of artists you like. So that you only get the studio versions. It's a good suggestion and so, I recommend you to use our ideas forum and start a new convo about this there. Perhaps the idea already exists and just needs more votes.

Adding a sponsored track to your favorites will play it over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over

My favorites list has 1k songs btw

If I add 3 tracks from an album to my favorites, Deezeer will suggest all the other tracks I DID NOT ADD because I don't f enjoy them. It will also suggest the remastered version, the 30th anniversary edition, the best of edition, the collector's edition, wtf???

Flow and poor random in general is making me consider going back to putting songs on my phone/computer and using a proper unbiased player.

Hey @Souto

Thanks a lot for the feedback, I've passed it on to our Flow team. In the meantime, would you be able to try clearing the app's cache? Perhaps it can help.

@Rudi yeah, I do that when songs are repeating too much, not sure if it helps or it's just placebo.

It seems that Deezer prefers fetching a song from a server near me, which makes sense from an efficiency point of view, but that leads to some songs never being played.

Because this is all subjective, you could add stats to show how many times each song was played, unless of course you don't want to release such info (*cough* money from labels *cough*)

By the way, as I was writing this, Deezer played a live version of a song and then the studio version of the very same song. That's so much what I wanted, maybe Deezer could play the soundtrack version of the same song next?

Hey @Souto

Thanks for getting back. The cache helps, yes. I'd also refresh things by resetting the password and logging back in.

About the song count, there's an idea open for voting here.

I've continued passing your info to our Flow team.

My flow experience has been iffy, sometimes it nails the exact song that I had been searching for and sometimes it doesn't. Flow has been playing 90s/20 rock all the time that I don't necessarily want to listen to, it has also been suggesting almost all Mexican music which I don't want. When I press the don't suggest again button, most of the time it will come back anyway and play the exact songs I said no for. I feel as if they should have a clear cache button for the Deezer flow feature and have it so you can delete the artist you want to hear from there as well as the genre.

my problem with Flow: I have rock music and classical music. It ain't possible to choose between those in Flow

I recently discovered that the flow algorithm uses terms used in the deezer search.

I was looking for a song title just to get some information about it and its artist - I did not play that song and that song has nothing to do with any music I listen to.
After starting deezer and flow the next time one of the first songs played was this particular song.

This makes the search useless as I have to be afraid that my flow will be ruined just by searching for music - even without playing it.
