Music on my Flow that I don't like

So the last three weeks my flow has been off kilter. It looks like one genre of music keeps popping up that I don't like and despite unliking them consistently they keep popping up. I've gone through my favourites to see if anything there could be the culprit but I just can't find it.
Is there a way to see what songs made Flow think I'd like that song. Then I can unlike that from my favourites.
Thank you in advance.

I have done everything you have told me to do. What happened July 9 at 1:25pm? Llaman a la Puerta/Cuanto de Mi, Es Solo Tu Voz Encarnada en Mi/Antisocial/Gritame/Mujer from Cronicas Del Rock Vol. 2 Peruano Mix AGAIN.
I DO NOT LIKE THIS SONG, I DO NOT LIKE THIS GROUP, I HAVE UNHEARTED THIS AT LEAST 100 TIMES. HOW DO I GET THIS TO NO LONGER PLAY ON MY SYSTEM?
UNHEART MEANS UNHEART, NOT PLAY AGAIN IN A FEW DAYS. I DO NOT WISH TO HEAR THIS SONG, ARTIST, GROUP, BAND OR ANY INCARNATION OF THIS.
HOW DO I GET THIS TO STOP?

Why offer the unheart option if you are not going to make it work? That's just stupid.

Now it doesn’t matter what I’m listening to, Magma follows me.  Mix-California Guitar Trio.  What plays?  Yep, Magma.  Are you trying to make my use Qobuz?  It’s like it’s a joke.  “Hey, here’s an artist he doesn’t like.  Let’s play everything they’ve ever recorded over and over and over.”

If you unlike an artist accidentally you can always re-like the artist. I intentionally want to remove artists that I do not wish to hear. Not just for a day, permanently remove.

I agree, it’s odd.  The playlists aren’t even near the same.  If I play Mix-Robert Fripp with Sonos I get completely different artists and songs with Robert Fripp Mix in my vehicle coming straight from the Deezer app.  Still get logged off if I use Android Auto, though.  It’s as if you don’t want to play nicely with others.

Funnily enough, the reason why we're revamping our Sonos integration is because we like them a lot @AVXlnce :smile:

Please don't take offense but have you checked your credentials to see if you're not logged under a duplicate account? I say this because I'd like to leave no stone unturned while our devs can come up with a suggestion.


Only 1 account.  Credentials are correct.

Today I had enough of Masterboy on my FLOW. From 90’s.

I needed to ban the whole artist.

Now it means also I won’t here LEGIT dj version of Masterboy songs like:

Now I am happy, these tracks on playlists and no more Masterboy in my FLOW. I hope…

This is good about Deezer, you can make FLOW yours… just ban them all.

I’ve logged out several times in the past few weeks.  Still can’t get Magma, Orme and Ange to go away.  I don’t know why I cannot tailor my music to meet my tastes.  Extremely frustrated here.

Thank you.  In the mean time I’ll just keep unliking these annoying performers.

Android Phone, iPad, laptop, cannot make the offending music go away.  I’ve tried to go straight to Deezer and do not recommend this artist but the artists still play when using Sonos which is what I use when I am in my office during the day.  It is not an issue when streaming direct from Deezer to my vehicles.

I’ve disliked this song/group literally dozens of times and it just keeps coming back.

I've unhearted the songs at least 50 times and they keep playing every day, sometimes more than once.
Beyond irritating.

@Alaric60 I am sorry to hear that.
We are constantly working in improving the Flow algorithm. We even did a test trial for a new Flow with some users and with all their feedback we hope to launch it in the short term.
In the meantime I’d recommend to keep excluding artists and tracks that you get in your Flow suggestions (more info here: https://support.deezer.com/hc/en-gb/articles/360004367258-Exclude-an-artist-or-track-from-Deezer-recommendations)
Thanks

Thank you for your feedback and for your patience @AVXlnce

We've been gathering a lot of feedback about this feature and our devs are already working on an improvement. Sometimes you can 'unheart' the artist by accident or change your mind, so we're working on a more permanent feature for people who definitely don't want to hear an artist again. Please bear with us, it's all we can ask at this moment.

How many thousands of times to I have to unheart this stupid song before it never plays again? It doesn't matter what station I listen to, this plays at least twice a day, every day. Is this your brother or something?

Hi Rudi,

This has been occurring for months now.  I have an iOS and Android device that I use for Deezer.

Make it stop.

Skipped to the next song but it was MAGMA that I unliked AGAIN.  You can see the “OK, we won’t recommend this song again” but that has no impact.

Thanks a lot for this confirmation @AVXlnce 

I've passed it on and will wait for more info so that I can share it with you. It's a bit odd, I must say. If you're not getting the same artists when listening to Flow in the car or the phone, we need to dig deeper with the Sonos.

I think the song is now blocked! I followed this for you - https://en.deezercommunity.com/get-started-and-updates-16/web-desktop-app-blocking-an-artist-is-now-possible-24660

Ok @AVXlnce 

So you're not using a Deezer app, but the Sonos control app. So it isn't a bug, but a feature which is lacking.

Rest assured, the solution for this is in the making. Our teams have been working on a Sonos revamp for their app, and we're taking huge strides to get it done. Please hang in there and in the meantime, please use the Deezer mobile app to "do not recommend this track" for the tracks in question :relaxed:

Your team has allegedly been working on this fix for well over a year now.  And if I’m listening on Sonos I can’t use the Deezer app to stop the annoying songs.  I’ve reached out to Sonos on this as well.  My patience is running thin.

I’ve gone to the Deezer app and told it to not recommend these artists.  Will this carry over to Sonos as well?

Apparently not.  Magma just came up again.
