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?

View originalThe response should be ‘its just how our app DOESN’T work’. People have been formally and informally complaining of this for over a year with zero response. It’s among many Deezer “features” like random massive volume swings (useless leveling) or countless ‘live only’ or ‘cover’ versions of songs instead of original artist high quality studio recordings. Only the handful of folks at Deezer seem to have trouble understanding why the rest of the world finds these issues problematic with streaming music services.
Hello,
Indeed, Favourites > Shuffle My Music is pretty shocking.
Even if you want to keep that broken-ish feature as is, why can't we get an additional button for unlimited, uniform distribution random play on the whole favourites library? You could even let the users (opt in for advanced features and) write/manage multiple custom shuffle rule sets (e.g. true random on my lib but without metal or classical, true random on my lib but jazz only, etc.).
NB: I’ve also noticed that there are sometimes (not hard to repro) short sequences (say, 3-5 songs) that are repeated (once) during shuffle (shuffle > (...) a b c d e f g d e f g h i j k l (...))
I get that the devs are hard at work on tricky scale/streaming problems, but you could spare a few for UX / to build some direly needed features.
Thanks
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 ;-))
The problem is only the same tiny selection of songs are played all the time.
This should no longer happen in flow discovery mode. Songs played there come back after 28 days at the earliest.
Hi
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.
Itis now 4 years later and the problem is not solved.
So I sorted on Track and put shuffle off thinking it Deezer will play in Track order…..no...it plays in A:bum order. How boring!!
4 years later since this thread was started and i’m still getting the same songs over and over in my “infinite” flow… not sure what’s going on, but there are millions of songs out there, and my flow is not interested in bringing very many of them to me… do i misunderstand how it’s supposed to work?
thanks

As other I don’t like flow as it keeps playing tracks that I don’t like.
So I’ve created list of my 2250 favorite tracks and then I shuffle them.
However many tracks are played again and again and some are never played.
Can you please use the history of the played tracks to avoid playing too much of the same track when shuffling favorites?
Can you also please add a discovery slider to flow? The idea is that if discovery slider is 0 then only favorite tracks are played and if the slider is at 100 % then only non-favorite tracks are played (but based on the recommendation depending on the favorites).
