How do I disable auto-play of unwanted suggested music?

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. 😑

Adding my name to the list as well. Switched over recently, and while there are other irritants, I think being pushed unwanted content is the main thing I can’t accept - I have just cancelled my subscription. If ever I see this was fixed before I settle on something else I might come back, but lack of commitment from Deezer into UX makes my hopes pretty bleak.

Also, I’m on Linux, and it seems like using the desktop app is not an option

also throwing my hat into the ring on this immensely frustrating “””feature”””. i teach music and use deezer to easily bring up songs in lessons. the last thing i want is completely unrelated music autoplaying after whatever song we’re actually working on plays, but because of deezer’s refusal to implement a change a ton of people clearly want, i now have to make sure that every time i play a song with a student, i have to watch my phone like a hawk at the end to pause it before something random starts playing. algorithmic play is, frankly, not really an aspect of using streaming services that i EVER want to deal with, but ESPECIALLY when it’s forced on me and runs counter to my basic use case. it’s frustrating to see an issue that lots of people clearly have a problem with handwaved over and over as something not worth addressing at all in favour of janky “workarounds” which require lots of fiddling with queues and queueing extra songs when even spotify, one of the worst-designed and programmed services i’ve ever used across any field, has no issue with this. please reconsider your dismissal of the people who use your service

This is literally the reason I cancelled my Deezer subscription. I can’t use it. Every time I play a song it goes into some horrible auto-mix. Even with the option disabled, it still does it.
