Hi Octavian, this is how it works, but we will keep passing this feedback on to our devs and hopefully they will be able to improve this feature soon!

Thank you for your detailed feedback @Steve C 

I've now forwarded every word of it because we shouldn't turn our back to this feature's criticism. I understand your points and I'm sincerely sorry for the experience you've had with the shuffle mode and with Flow.

Deezer has put all hands together and we've recently decided we're going back to basics. This is something discussed at length internally, so I'm sharing a bit with you, exclusively.

We'll be putting our efforts into getting our player to work as a player should be. Efficient, reliable, and with the ability to connect to different devices and sources. This has been the feedback from the community for a couple of years now. So it's time to get our resources together and get some of these essential features right. That's what we aim to deliver in 2021.

So I invite you, perhaps without paying for a subscription, to check back with us around the first quarter of the next year, to see where we're at in terms of improvement and development. I'm unable to share deadlines and other plans we have, but I can assure you that the commitment is great. Deezer is the underdog in the streaming market, and for this reason, everyone here is passionate about you, users, and music. So we'll keep working to get to the next level. Trust me, I've been here for a few years and there are only better things to come :v_tone2:

This is still not working, four years later.

I am also very dissatisfied with this problem in random execution. For it to be truly random, a randomization seed should be selected at each start of execution, without prioritizing tracks based on other criteria. If you wish to maintain prioritization criteria, you could give us the option to choose.
