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

@Patryk Pozniak 😄 Just shared your comment with the team! I agree, that this is not really ideal and I hope your comment helps the team to understand that this feature needs to be improved soon!

When I press the shuffle button, while using the app with my mobile or computer, it plays the SAME songs again. Really annoying, especially when paying for a premium account.

HI there, please describe this further. Where exactly do you press the shuffle button? In a playlist or are you talkiing about "Shuffle My Music"? And what do you mean by SAME songs. Is it exactly the same queue or are there only some songs always in the queue when you press the button?

Hello,

I am experiencing the same issue and it's even worse when I use the "Discover" flow playlist. I listened to this yesterday evening and the day before and the playlist consisted of the SAME songs in the exact same order. I skipped maybe 15-20 songs and they were all repeats from the day before, in the same order (seemingly, I did not do 100% thorough check).

Maybe I don't understand what "Discover" is supposed to be, but I was under the impression that it suggested unheard tracks based on what you listen to, starting from a seed of artists. At a minimum, if it plays the same songs, it should at least shuffle them.

Suggestion: It would be awesome if a user could pick 4-5 albums or artists and hit a button to create a "Discover" flow playlist for them to listen to based on the artists selected. Even better would be giving users the ability to define how much "variance" or how "risky" the algorithm is in determining what to play.

I'm listening to music non-stop at work and the playlists are getting pretty stale.

Other features that would help in alleviating these issues:

• the ability to "Time-out" a song so that it won't play for a week (or some user definable period)
• skipping a song should stop it from playing again in the same playlist
• "play a different mood" button which would redirects the flow to a different style
• skipping a song should slowly reduce the likelihood of that song being played in a future playlist

I made the mistake placing ONE Coldplay song in my favorites and now flow thinks I am a HUUUUGE Coldplay fan. Despite skipping these songs every time, it still plays them. Not sure how to fix this.

@Valou82 the Flow tabs are only being updated once a week. So that's normal. But I'm happy to pass your feedback on and hopefully they'll update more regularly in the future :)

some of your feedback was already mentioned in our ideas forum. I'd suggest you browse through the forum a bit and vote for the ideas you like :)

Regarding the "skipping" feedback: Are you talking about Flow or playlists?

Flow, I think.


Thanks for the reply, I didn't know that discover and flow tabs were static playlists. I find it weird that it starts over instead of continuing where you left off though.

In other news, I just listened to Flow and within 15 songs, the song "That's my N****" played three times and the song "Heart of the moment" also played three times. That's just too much repetition. It's like the algorithm is stuck in a rut.

Hey, I'd like fresh music please! 😉

Hi @Valou82 , I believe you need to do a bit of work with your Flow 🙂 Please see how to improve your Flow here. 😉

I still have this problem and I cleared out my cache, but even on desktop it uses the same 50 songs.

I used to love this function, now I totally disgust it and I avoid it like the plague.

Problem was still there last time I checked... I finally solved it by canceling by account and going to a competitor app. I'm not paying for an app that doesn't deliver basics. Sorry Deezer, so long!
