The "Shuffle my music" feature is getting worse

That’s good news.  Thanks for sharing.

I tried the "Shuffle my music" feature both on the Android App and on the Web Browser version, and it seems they have finally fixed it! There are no longer tracks outside of my library; even turning the "Synchronized Queue-list" feature on again, it keeps selecting songs from my favorite tracks, albums, and playlists. There may still be just a few too many repetitions here and there, I would say among the songs I have listened to the most or that I have preferred recently, but it is no longer so annoying and works much better than it did in the last three months.

I recently noticed that when I use the 'Shuffle my music' feature on Deezer, it also plays songs that I don’t even have in my favourites or in any playlist. That really annoys me.

It seems to be working once again for me as well.  Tested on Android app and Windows desktop app.  Decent length shuffles with little to no repetitions.  Seems to be pulling from my entire library of favorites.  And as an added bonus, they finally fixed the broken Favorites tab in the desktop app which had been broken for me ever since the rebranding!

Try clearing your caches and logging out on any devices that you use for Deezer.  Wait a bit, then log back in and try your Shuffle again.  Seems like they’ve fixed it but clearing out the old cache might be an important step.

I really don't know how it is possible that they may have solved the problem for some of us only to see it start affecting other users. 😱
Hopefully clearing the cache helps.

Hi, thank you for your comment to my question on the other thread and for your workaround here.

First of all, following Leonídia.Deezer advice (thank you for that) I turned off the “automatic recommendations” which I was not aware of and so stopped listening to music that was not in my library. This feature in fact is something like a much better Flow feature when you turn it on, as you can listen to your library (not only artists and genres) and get a suggestion every now and then which is just great to me. 

But overall the performance of shuffle my music is quite random now, I have to say. Far from what it used to be. For a few weeks this feature was clearly the same as Flow, even “shuffling” the same songs out of a library of over 50.000 tracks.

Now I usually get a 50 track playlist to start with, and many times I get songs never played before. But I get the feeling that certain artists come up again and again and sometimes I even get the same song three times in a week. With my library and a proper shuffle feature I should not even listen to the same song twice in my whole life 😆 Other times I only get a short list and it will even stop playing reporting an error once the last song ends. In android I usually get only 12 or 20 songs and the repetitive pattern is much more noticeable.

Hi, maybe you tried this, but just in case… It worked for me as I was not aware of this button in the new version. Switch off “automatic recommendations” next to the playlist header

@JRR I had the same experience, 20 songs when using Android. And 4 of those 20 songs are not from favourites I would ever listen to.

Sometimes I feel this way too, but it is a very slight and bearable flaw. If I notice that a song comes up too often for my liking, I just skip it, and it doesn't seem to me that this affects the quality of the shuffle, so I'm happy with it.

This was one of the many issues I reported in previous months, but in the last few weeks it seems to be fixed for me. I have no idea why it is different for you now... 😓

Is Shuffle just not working at all for anyone else (again) or is it just me?  Tried on Android, Windows app and web browser and the Shuffle button just does nothing despite having almost 1000 albums in my favorites.  I’ve also noticed that the repeat songs were creeping back quite noticeably when I was able to use it yesterday.
