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

This still happens all the time, five years later. The same songs again and again and again in the same queue. Perhaps the French are again on strike. They charge more than anyone else but work less than everyone. Quite disappointing. I wish I could get a refund. 

Thanks @dee_dirk. That should solve the problem for a lot of people. Someone might want to add that information to the article (other than the comment you added). It’s an important fix.

I have found recently (in the last few days) Deezer is not playing the same set of songs each time I use Flow. What a relief! It’s not a big selection of artists (even when asking for less favorites) but at least they aren’t the same songs all the time.

Hello @Jaime. Could you please be specific? What is it about these 2 new Flow modes that you expect to fix the problem I described? I’ve already said that I get a mix of favorites and non-favorites. It’s not the mix of these 2 sets that’s the problem. The problem is only the same tiny selection of songs are played all the time.

Same here. Flow plays the same corny 70s, 80s and 90s songs. Many aren’t even in my favorites and I wouldn’t normally play them. It does this no matter which device I use (eg, Google Home mini, iPhone, iPad), so I know this isn’t a “clear the cache” problem. I work in software, so I know that even a simple random number generator would pick a more mixed variety of all the songs, albums and artists I have added to favorites. I was hoping for a mix of songs/artists I like plus others that are new to me. But I get the same old corny list of 50 or so songs over and over again. Why should I continue to pay for this terrible software?

Same problem here. Not only do I get the same artists, I don't hear songs from artists that I have added to favourites. I've favourited a wide range of music but all I get is 80s again. 

It's feedback like yours that makes this community a better place, Ian @Ian.S 

Have a great weekend and keep us posted 

Thanks for sharing it here too @Ian.S 

In addition, our teams are working on Flow improvements so I hope all this feedback is taken into consideration before we get there 

Hey Iain, @iainhart87 

I honestly appreciate the concerns and I have good news.

Please keep an eye for 4.33.1 when it's released for you and let me know how it performs!

I'll pass on your feedback about the adverts.

Hi there @iainhart87 @Cforever1 

I've replied to one of you on another topic. Are you on a free or paid subscription? Is this happening on desktop or mobile?

I'd be grateful if you could provide further details so that I can help you!

Hello,

I have an issue with this as well. The first song keeps on repeating whenever it ends and I try to change it. I have this issue in both the app and the website. My laptop is a Lenovo YOGA 710 and I use google chrome.

I was shuffling the nice Caribou 1000 playlist below and a couple of times the same tune would come up.

May be the algorithm could actually randomize the 999, 998, 997, etc remaining songs instead of shuffling the 1000 again and again.
 

Hi,

I've been using Shuffle My Music (web version of Deezer) / Flow (web) / Shuffle My Music (but on the Android app) a lot during the lockdown and I still can't fathom how it's such a mess (well actually, I work in software, I can, but that's not the point ;-))

• You'd think Flow would pick stuff outside of my favorites, and Shuffle would not, but no, actually the 2 (well, 3) features seem to do
• Even worse, Shuffle sometimes seems to go where it pleases, ends up playing like 80% outside of my favorites…
• Song picking algorithm does not produce good results to me, it basically behaves like I have 100 favorite tracks instead of 1000 albums, too much songs in common in one shuffle session vs. another one...
• Shuffle on Android somehow seems a bit different vs. web (a little less repetitive (?), also does not have an “end” (i.e. next gets disabled at some point) like the others), but maybe it's just me...
