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

Hi ​@psynoxu , ​@Marco De Leest , ​@skyrat11, ​@holgerg thanks for your posts and apologies that we are not delivering the UX you would like to have when using the search function.

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? 

Hello ​@eti_erik apologies for the delay. 
Did this happen in mobile, web or desktop app?
Thanks

See 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.

Give us the choice. Please. Please.

I just got Deezer because I was so thoroughly frustrated with Amazon’s recent (by “recent” I mean the last two years) changes to their UI that fundamentally broke it.

Spent an entire day getting my music library into Deezer.

Only to stumble across this “feature”. I use “feature” with the most sarcastic quotation marks possible.

If I search a song, and play it, I don’t want to be forced to listen to an algorithmically generated playlist after this. I want to control what I listen to. Children could understand this. How does Deezer not?

Even Amazon, which completely broke their app, understands this. The very first option in their settings menu is “Autoplay: Keep listening to similar tracks when your music ends”. It is a checkbox. If you uncheck it, the queue ends when it ends.

I cannot fathom how Deezer has ignored their community for over a year begging for a setting that disables this. This is a dealbreaker. I will gladly pitch my efforts in uploading my library into the trash due to this issue alone.

It gets even worse. Oh My God.

If I search for a song to listen to, and click Play, the play queue fills up with random crap after it.

If I find a second song to listen to (or a third song, etc, etc), I cannot simply “Add to queue”. Because it is slotted in behind the 40 crap songs I didn’t ask for.

And there is no button to clear the queue. Literally no way to do this, aside from clicking a song and generating a new 40-song queue of crap. Even closing the desktop app with task manager and reopening it does not clear the queue.

if you want to listen to a song next, click “play next” instead of “add to queue.”
