More discoveries in Flow
Currently flow plays a lot of my favorites and similar music, but I would love to have more options to "discover" new music I might like. Maybe flow is not the best option for this, but overall I just wished there would be more variety or influence from my side.

I found though I could get more discovery feel when I radically changed my music listening habits for a bit. Eg recently I started going on a Hans Zimmer binge spree and since then it started diversifying more.
Spot on! Exactly what we need!
Therefore rest assured that this topic will be seen by our tech team. I hope that even more users will join this conversation and vote for the idea!
Keep up the great work! You rock!
Deezer , your shuffle algorithm is amazing but please improve FLOW . The platform is great for shuffling but unfortunately I didn't discover a lot of new artists on the service because the number of suggestions is very low. On the other hand Spotify Shuffle sucks but they do have weekly discover which works pretty good ....
Thx.
The fader idea is great.
Another improvement would be for Flow to tip into every element of "My Music" (artists, albums etc) and not just (or mostly) what I listen to more often.
Come on Deezer, surprise us! 😉
However my mood changes on from day to day, and I was thinking that it would be nice to change the parameters that go in the Flow propositions?
Say, for example, I'm in a "discovery mood" and would like to allow the Flow to propose me some stuff that can be quite "far" from the tracks I have liked.
I could also be in a mood where I allow the Flow to choose from songs from the artists I have liked songs but haven't actually liked.
I have also realised that there is a strong temporality in the Flow, i.e. it will play stuff that I liked recently. This is, of course, fine, but sometimes you could also want it to go back later in time. Again I'm assuming this is just a parameter which enters in the algorithm, so it shouldn't be very hard to let the user modify it?
Anyway, I'm assuming there are some basic quantities that can be tweaked in the Flow algorithm? Although I have no clue what it actually is, maybe there could be several default settings?
I have no clue how fine-tuned the Flow algorithm is, but I think that would be quite cool.
Hearing some of the benefits of various streaming services, thought I'd share my "persona" for how I'd like to listen to music:
The FLOW playlist sucks!
Let me elaborate. Maybe its just me, but, I keep getting the same...50ish songs all the time. I get very very few songs from each artist i have Favorited (its mostly 1 or 2 songs for each) even though they have almost their whole discography.
And for most of my Favorited artists I NEVER get a song in the FLOW option.
And whenever I do get a new song mixed in, its from either an artist i don't like, or a whole GENRE i clearly don't like. Specially Latin music (and i'm from S. America)
Deezers algorithm should have learned by now, after disliking hundreds of latin songs, that I do not like that genre.
And also PLEAAAASE make it be more varied and take more varied songs from all your favorite artists instead of always the same God Damned small pool of songs.
Thanks a lot!

Recently though, it got horribly bad. It rarely plays any favourites, but it plays a lot of random songs, bulk of them from categories I've explicitly excluded.
Whatever change you guys rolled out, please, test more thoroughly before deploying, a bit of dogfooding goes a long way! Would be swell if you could roll it back until sufficient improvements are made.
I have about 700 tracks or so in my "liked" list. Then "flow" will play almost exclusively from there, and only the tracks played most frequently. Even if I swipe to the next song because I've heard it too much, "flow" register it as played and bumps it even further up on the list of songs to be played more often.
So I rarely use "flow". It works better to use the "favorites" and randomize.
I would like if I could set the number of songs in "flow" from the "liked" list to a lower setting in %. Like 50% new songs, so I find new music.
It would also be good if Deezer registered when I skip a track, and downpriorited it.
At first Flow used to show songs of related artists, and that was nice. But it came to a point in which it got stuck and now I hear the same 40ish songs every time.
Deezer should be aware of the potential of such a great idea to discover new music. Spotify's algorithm is incredibly good and if I'm paying to use Deezer's service, I would expect it to be a good option to discover new music.
that being the case ask me how muck my set up cost and if its high enough just play jazz and classical music might as well go all out in the generalization... sry i love deezer bee using it for more than 7 years but men come on when flow came out was great it is great but fix it please
