5 years ago people already asked for a higher limit of songs in playlist, but it stil isn't increased yet. My question is why? And I know al lot of people won't use Deezer because of this.

I second this, my most played list is “Favourites” with over 6000 tracks and I love that. Having said that, what other hi-res service offers more than a 2000 limit, Apple notwithstanding as that service did not exist in Bluesound nor KEF Connect.

It would've been better if there's a easy way to transfer a playlist to favourites but there's also no option for so I am stuck with a full playlist 😠

And what bothers me most is that people asked about it 5 years ago why isn't there anything changed about this?

You can simply highlight all tracks in a playlist with the checkbox at the top right of the page, then click on the 3-dot menu, then choose “Add to playlist”, then “Favorite songs”. The reason for not expanding the 2k limit to 10k for all playlists is probably system performance, both on Deezer’s servers and on user devices.

As for the other question from @BigFKahuna, I don’t know the different playlist limits on Tidal, Qobuz and Amazon, they might be similar to Deezer’s.

Here is a screenshot in German of the option to add highlighted playlist songs to your favorites:

@bluezzbastardzz Thank you, I really didn't think about that, but still I would like it if the playlist limit was increased.

@Nina Nebo The limit is 2k and I really love the kind of music that I listen and I want to add more songs so I don't get the same song everytime but because of the 2k limit I can't

I understand what you want ,and I say that will be great if they  can give us higher limit .

Instead 2000 can be 5000 songs per playlist .

Perhaps someone can explain the difference to Deezer and to storage on my phone of 5 2000-song playlists and one 10,000-song playlist? Personally I have over 6,000 in my favourites and I would have more over 2000-song playlists if it were possible.

BigFKahuna if I understand very well you mean :

  You have 5 playlists with 2000 songs ?!

But you want one playlist with 10 000 songs !? 

In favourites you have over 6 000 songs  , and you want from Deezer that give us possibility in one playlist to put more then 2000 songs !?

Hi @BigFKahuna, if you want to know if it is possible to have more than 2000 music in one playlist, unfortunately, it’s not possible. Our content limit is 2000 music in each playlist but if you want to see your favorites (6039) you can see them on your desktop and web.
You can check in our article all the limits Content-Limits

@Leonídia.Deezer but why are after more then 5 years the content limits so low compared to other streaming services? I can't understand why this is still not a priority because on the forum are more threads about the low playlist limit.

Hi @Jens_Crazy more or less two years ago was decision of Deezer to increase the limit of favorite tracks from 2000 to 10000 tracks. Right now there isn’t any plans to raise other limits as this kind of increase as a lot of impact on the Deezer listening experience.

Interesting as I don’t believe most listeners have thought there might be a downside to increased playlist limits. How would the playlist limit adversely effect the listening experience?

 Hi @BigFKahuna, one possible reason of the impact on the UX is that having more content to load on older devices with short storage or memory can affect the listening experience. Keep in mind that Deezer app supports Android devices from 6.0 which means devices with low specs comparing to the actual Android 12,13 devices.
