How to listen some songs without affecting my preferences?

Say I have visitors at my place and I want to let them play some of their favourite songs. I wouldn’t want this to affect my Flow or what I see on the app next time I use it. Even worse, if I need to play some children’s songs, I wouldn’t want this genre to creep into my preferences.

 

Is there a way to do it? A private session of some kind?

That is not possible unfortunately

Yeah, it's too bad this feature doesn't exist on Deezer.

Spotify has a toggle called "exclude from listening history". It's really useful when you wanna play kids music, classical, or some genre that you don't want getting mixed in with your flow or other recommendations.

In fact, because of this, I maintain a separate paid Pandora account so I can listen to mellow jazz & ambient chill in the evenings. I'd love to be able to do this with Deezer, but it will screw up all my recommendations.

Deezer, please consider some sort of feature where you can exclude playlists from influencing recommendations.

I’ve tried this on Spotify with limited to no actual results. It’s a nice idea, but the execution is poor.

I agree, I wish that a option like this was available. A “private option” or an “incognito option”. I’m too afraid to listen to something else, just for once, because after a while your recommendations can change.

But it’s not just only Deezer. This also happens with the others.

It is a long time idea suggested and supported by users. I am not a developer, but developing this future might be more complicated than it looks, if not, as @awesomemac mentioned, others will have it too.
In the meantime, let’s keep voting for it here:
