This is making me crazy and it is an absolute deal breaker. Without a solution to stop playing unwanted music after my selected track the service is just annoying. Why should I listen to something I don’t want (even if I paid)? Why someone/something has to choose my music instead of me?
I wrote to the support but I was dismissed with something like: “sit and wait, maybe in the future someone will decide to implement such feature”. That’s very, very far from acceptable

if you connect via browser and open the queue you will see a “Automated Recommendations” button.
This only works with normal use. As soon as a song is started from the search, you get a mix. Regardless of whether you have activated automatic recommendations or not. 😑
+6Hi
Deezer intends to promote discovery of tracks with similar genre so every time you search a track, when you hit play, you get those recomendations “Track Mix”
But I understand your point of view, and I just shared with developers those last 4 feedbacks.
Just can say, fingers cross that your feedbacks are heard and a feature can be built in the future.
That's nice to hear, but I am not waiting until it may change. I cancelled my subscription and switched to Qobuz.
I'm new to Deezer, coming over from that other service which I really wanted to quit. And now I'm quite astonished to find out about this "feature" and that it can't be turned off. I'm very sorry folks, but a really basic thing like *listening to one song at a time* in a music streaming app is definitely nothing I want to find workarounds for or wait for it to become a "new exciting feature" — goodness!
I really wanted to give it a try and get familiar with Deezer, but I also have a strong aversion to services who are smug enough to believe that they know better what I want than I do myself. So I'm afraid this is a dealbreaker for me.
I was trying to listen to Grammy nominees and I'd start one then search the next and hit "add to queue." But then the next one wouldn't play because it was added behind all of Deezer's automatic suggestions. This makes it HARDER for me to discover new music, not easier. At this point I usually listen to a song on YouTube the first time and deal with their ads and then if I like it I add it to a playlist in Deezer. Not a great experience since it takes me out of the app. I understand the perspective of wanting people to discover new music, but different people are open to discovering new things at different times, and there are a lot of users who don't want to do that when searching a song. I would much rather get to hear all the different covers of a song returned by a search and discover new artist that way.
I turned Automated Recommendations off, but after playing a Kate Bush song Deezer continued and gave me a Chris Martin song. Which I definitely never clicked on and do not want to hear.
I went to Queue (a feature that I do not use) and found a list of 40 songs in my queue. How did they get there? I really only wantto hear the songs / albums that I actively click on. Nothing else. How do I do that?
+8See the answers on the first page of this thread: if you searched for the Kate Bush song and then clicked on it in the search, this will automatically generate a Track Mix of 40 tracks which you can only prevent if you send the found track to the play queue with the dropdown menu option instead of directly playing it from the search.
I’ve already commented on this upthread so I sha’n’t repeat myself. It’s astounding that this hasn’t been fixed.
Does it make it worse that the randomly queued track is always some tenuously related, immersion-shattering nonsense that I have never, ever found myself going, hey, you know, this is actually good? Yes. Is that the point? No.
