After the queue page fills up with songs, you need to scroll down to see the most recently played songs. Instead, we could have the currently playing song display in the middle of the page.

In addition, it would be nice to be able to see not only what has been played so far but also what will come next. It does not make sense to not show what the next songs will be. This is one feature that Apple Music does better, and it shouldn’t be too hard to implement.

Clarification: This behaviour is observed in automatically generated mixes in the web app. Mobile apps display what will come after the current song, as desired.

Hello @EpsilonSigma, it is on purpose that Flow and Track Mixes don’t show the queue of songs coming after, 

it’s not something we consider a limitation because they are presented as a discovery or surprise, let’s say. 

There is already another similar idea existing in the community so I will merge them together, the votes show how strongly our user base feels about a feature so the more the better and it is important that the votes are not scattered around in different ideas.

If it is a surprise, why doesn’t the mobile app have the same behaviour?

It clearly is not a “surprise”. It is just one of the numerous inconsistencies between the web app and the mobile app. I am very disappointed and regret subscribing for a full year.

Hey @EpsilonSigma, but you can not choose what to play next or create a queue when you are playing Flow and Recommended playlists… not even on the mobile app.

Hey @Yula. We are not talking about this, though. But thanks for bringing up yet another of Deezer’s limitations.

Hey @EpsilonSigma sorry you are right, I misunderstood the question, I see what you mean now! 

It is by design, but we’ll keep the feedback for future improvements.
