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?

Repetitive "Shuffle my music" // keeps playing the same songs
Userlevel 4
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.

"Shuffle My Music" is a joke. It plays only very small subset of my favourite albums. It also plays songs from albums I have removed from my favourites (and no, I don't have those songs in any of my playlists nor have I liked them).
And why on earth would cleaning the cache have anything to do with this? Same songs and albums are chosen on mobile and both of my 2 computers.

Hi there, the "Shuffle My Music" takes songs from your playlists and favorites albums, not from your artists, so if you'd like to see more songs from an artist, like more albums by them 😉
If you feel that you're getting too much of the same, try cleaning the cache and that should help too 😎

Hi @Fabio.Martinelli , that's strange. As mentioned we weren't able to reproduce the issue. Have you tried to change the order of the tracks in the playlist before casting? Just to test if that changes anything 🙂

Hey @Ana. , always quick and to the point, thanks. I tried again and, while some of the songs did change, I still notice that 80% or more keep on showing up, also after cleaning the cache. For some reason Deezer seems prone to suggest some songs and not others (same problem I noticed in Flow).
I even enabled the 4G usage because I thought it was maybe looking for cached music not to waste traffic but that did not seem to have changed anything.
I'll post a new comment if I notice some change and please let me know if any of your developers has any suggestion.
Grazie and ciao. 🙂

Hi @Fabio.Martinelli the 50 songs limit is a technical decision from our developers, but the songs shouldn't be the same. I've tested here on mine and on your accounts and got different songs every time. Could you try maybe clearing the cache and updating the app to see if it helps?

I love the idea of a function such as "Shuffle my Music" but both on my Android and on the web client it keeps on shuffling the same 50 songs, day in and day out.
Is it just me?
How do I refresh it?
And why do you limit it to 50 songs?
