Why is it called a Queue, when it's really a History?

I would really love an actual Queue, where I can see the next 10 or 100 songs coming up in the playlist. This is the definition of Queue - a line, or sequence - of songs to come. The “Queue” on Deezer shows only history (most of the time! It has inexplicably shown a few songs ahead about once out of every hundred times I click on it!).

Hi @Leonídia.Deezer . Unfortunately, I can’t, because Deezer won’t even let me look at the homepage if I don’t pay 11 EUR a month.

Hi @EpsilonSigma, I tested it on an iPhone and I can't see a queue either.
I'm sorry, but as you are unable to send the screenshot, it is not possible for me to conform the information.
Please contact our Customer Support here and share with them your information.

To reiterate my original point - while I would love a queue - just don’t call it that when that’s not what it is. Words do have meanings. Currently, it is a “history,” not a “queue.”

As to the “dynamic” claim about Flow, I’m going to call BS on that. Spotify does virtually (exactly?) the same thing (I haven’t used any other streamers recently to compare), but it provides a list of upcoming songs when it’s doing the picking - I just don’t want to use Spotify. If Deezer’s algorithm can’t pick the next several few songs, show that queue, and be able to adjust that list if I hit the angry face on a song, frankly that seems pretty lame.

Additionally, there have been a handful of times where the queue in Deezer DID show me about 10 or so upcoming songs?!?!?! What that just a bug? Seems like a good bug.

Hi @Todd Freeman could you try to share a video when you get next time that preview of next tracks playing the Flow and another one where you just get the history.

I will try to push that to our developers trying to hear more about it. Thanks
