Same song from favourite artist in the flow

Hi! I've been using Flow most of the time. I have some favourite artists, but what bothers me algorithm somehow offers me all the time same song or maybe only a few. I.e. favourite artist is Foo fighters and all what is suggested to me is one or two songs. All over again. And they have so many songs.

Is there any way to improve this?
 

And here is also a positive feedback. Since I'm listening Deezee, mainly Flow for years, I had opportunity to get many new artists.

 

Thank you!

May be you can „push“ flow to the right direction by liking some other songs. 
If this doesn’t help you can ask the support team for resetting your accounts flow settings.

To do this I would need to search other songs and they “like” them. Isn’t that a bit weird. If there is some AI behind, and BTW this is really not complicated algorithm. If you liked one artist, program should try to pick randomly songs from liked artist.

Isn’t that easy that it cannot be easier?

Thank you!

Of course for normal the ai is working fine. But sometimes imho it gets stuck in a circle of some songs. So my suggestion to like some other songs shouldn’t be the normal way to use flow but just solve the problem you have at the moment. If you don’t like to try reach out the support team for help.

Hey @kolma, 

Nothing is as easy as it seems, it is important to keep feeding the Flow algorythm, 

you can do this by following the tips in this article!

If I love a song (and an artist) why would deezer only plays their smash hits or favorites ? I’d like to ear remixes, b-sides and random songs of their LPs.
Maybe : What I would see is a preference (like a slider) telling the IA to get a little outside the track(s) we set on our favorite tracks. Or un flag “I love all this artist has produced” to tell the IA to deep dive into all songs of that artist :D

Have you tried to change the top „heart symbol“ point (play more favorites) of flows bad smiley menue to the „rocket symbol“ (discover more) ???

Imho to discover more the heart symbol has to be visible, because tapping it would change to play more favorites.

Wow, what a strange place to hide such feature :D I would never guess that was a dropdown menu, I see this as a “I don’t like the current track” button.
Do you know if this “Discover more” feature includes “not favorited” titles of the same artist I favorited a track of ? Or is this only new artists ?
I really love the flow. I use it all the time, but as I said, I’d really like that it would propose more often some “not fav” titles of the favorite artists (or “other title of the same artists”)  .

There is no official documentation how the flow options work in detail. But for me  the „discover more“ mode prevents flow from playing my favorites.

Yes, I use this option since yesterday. It’s much better than the “more fav“ option. Thanks A LOT to have made me discorver this !!
