I completely understand your frustration. The 'recommended artists' and 'recommended albums' features were essential for discovering new music without spending too much time searching. It's disappointing that Deezer removed these features, impacting our listening experience.

I hope Deezer reconsiders this move, as it has detracted from the overall user experience. If not reinstated, I might also switch to another service. Thanks for raising this issue—let's hope Deezer listens and takes action soon!

The recommended albums and artists were deprecated years ago in favour of the new recommendation methods that Deezer developed back then like the notification bell in the upper right corner of the screen etc. Maybe embedded hardware implementations still had them until now and got kicked out only recently, just guessing.

Can you provide a screenshot or photo of the screen that you see on your device? Then we could at least guess what the path to the current Deezer recommendations is for you. For example do you see a button for “Flow” which usually is the first stop for Deezer users who don’t have time, but want to listen to a mix of known music plus recommended new songs based on their listening history and favorites.

Thanks for the replies.  It could well be that embedded applications hung onto this for longer, I was advised by Airable that it had just gone offline, but as you say they may have been just getting a service that had been killed on the Deezer front end but which had been running quietly on the back end.  If that is the case, it would be awesome if Deezer could re-enable it, as I’m not aware of anything else they have instated that offers the similar functionality.

I’ve attached a couple of pictures of the interface I get on the Yamaha Musiccast app running on my android device, the 2nd one is where recommended artists and albums used to be, but now they’re sadly absent.  You can see that flow is an option at the top of the initial list.  Deezer’s flow is good and i do occasionally use it, but this just jumps from one song to another whereas the recommended artists and albums page allow for a deeper immersion into each artists work, which I find far preferable for discovering new music.  It also allows me to pick albums or genres which best suit my mood, or the work I'm doing at the time.

Without it, I find myself frustrated with both Yamaha's poor interface and Deezer's lack of music discovery tools. If this feature isn't reinstated soon, I'll likely cancel my subscription and switch to Tidal, as the current service no longer meets my needs. I hope this is resolved quickly.

@Mutsy Thanks for your screenshots, it seems that there is no notification bell like in the upper right corner of the web player where new personalised recommendations appear nowadays in a dropdown menu. In case you don’t know how this looks, here is a screenshot:

As you can see, it is a mix of either new singles or albums, but not artists, and you have to open them individually to listen to them.

And Flow can be specified nowadays either with personalised genres or moods according to your recent listening history:

Thanks, yeah i can see the difference and i can access these things via the internet, but unfortunately that's no use as the web app doesn't talk to the hardware that I'm using to play the music.  The notifications is useful, but this is not providing the same/equivalent service as the recommendations as its focussing on what's new (as opposed to what might be new to me, but is perhaps still quite ‘old’ in chronological terms), and as for flow, its just playing tunes, but the problem is I want albums that flow, rather than a personalised jukebox.

Given that there’s been zero interaction from anybody at Deezer on this issue though, its sounding increasingly like Tidal may be the answer to my problem now.
