Repetitive "Shuffle my music" // keeps playing the same songs

I used to use FLOW all the time, but it played the same music over and over, sometimes one song would play twice in 15 minutes. When I recently discovered "Shuffle My Music" I was happy because I could see what was going to be played and it wouldn't repeat anything (at least not for the 50 songs of the playlist). However, "Shuffle My Music" still suffers from issues FLOW had, namely only playing one or two specific songs from favourite artists and playing the same songs every time. If I pressed "Shuffle My Music" multiple times you can be sure that 80% of the songs in any playlist would be in every other playlist.
So, my question: how do I fix My Music? How do I get FLOW or "Shuffle My Music" to have variety? How do I get more than one song from an artist (no matter how many albums and songs they may have) to play?

Hi @timh we are very sorry that the “Shuffle my Music” feature algorithm is not perfect yet. I can assure you that the feedback has been passed on to the product team several times. They had to focus on other features but I just asked for you again and will let you know as soon as have more info.

In the meantime, I highly recommend that you simply shuffle your favourites, listen to your Flow, listen to the new playlist Top 2019 :wink: or shuffle your own playlists on other days for more variety.

Thank you, Anja. There are several songs coming up at least every day, so you can find them three times in my screenshots. This rather makes me hate them than liking them anymore, so this can't be the intended behaviour.😉 And even if the songs may change, they come from the same albums and artists far too often.

I've got ths problem. I only set Deezer up last week and I was very excited with the prospect that Flow would open up all sorts of new music to me. Instead I get the same couple of dozen songs on a loop. So now I am frustrated and bored. In a week there are some songs that I must have had abiut three or four times a day and some from my favourites that I have never yet heard. Flow is a nice idea poorly executed.

Hi I would like to know why 'shuffle my music' plays the same songs. I have lots of albums saved and it's really frustrating to hear the same 30 or so songs. I have emptied cache as previously read about but it makes no difference. I pay a monthly fee so feel like shuffle should work correctly, not everyone wants to happen to full albums.

I have the same problem. With "Shuffle my music". Is it only 15 songs that Deezer chooses to shuffle per day, or something like that?

Have you tried clearing the cache?

I wanted to add for the desktop app does it only shuffle songs from your favorites? I wish it would Shuffle songs from your entire albums list playlists etc.

To Shuffle everything, go to My music > shuffle my music. That should should shuffle for everything you have saved, not only fav songs 😉
