Setting to prevent Deezer from repeating songs

It can be a bit irritating if Deezer keeps on repeating the same songs instead of digging deeper into your favorites/likes.

Couldn’t a setting be added, something in the line of “Do not play a song if it was played in the last X days.”

Potentially allowing the user to customize how many days. If I don’t want to hear the same song twice in a week, I can just set it to 7 days.

Hey @SonicAI

Are you talking about the FLOW? If you skip or dislike the song, 

does it still appear more than once a week? 

Hi @Yula ,

I am talking about FLOW yes. It does however replay my favourites a lot too. 

I understand that if you listen a lot to a song, the system will regard it as a higher priority and replay it more often (I believe?).

But if you have hundreds of favourites, it becomes irritating if it cycles through only 50 or 100 of your favourites inbetween new discoveries.

It would be convenient to be able to say during flow, play any of your favourite songs no more than once every 3 days, except if they all were played.

Flow has recently been enhanced. Look here:

Hi @bluezzbastardzz ,

 

This assumes I want to listen to more discoveries. I am still referring to the regularity of favourites being repeated during flow.

I.e. you listen to a song a bunch of times, then it start to repeat it quite regularly, while you’d like it to rotate your favorites more rather than sticking to the same songs.

Flow can't do what you want at the moment. Or just the two modes: favorites including repetitions and discovery (fewer favorites) and the certainty that a song played will not come again for 28 days.

Maybe you should try “Shuffle My Music” instead of Flow, especially if you have a large collection of favorites already, also many large playlists. I like to use that playback mode in Deezer, because it plays many tracks I haven’t heard in a long time without repeating them. I think it also mixes in a few new tracks now and then that I don’t have in my library.
