Block an artist

I love the FLOW option, but as your subroutines are only digital, they have no idea that if I click the X on songs by artists I dislike fervently, I actually sometimes mean I NEVER, ever want to hear anything by bands like Coldplay again. But it just blocks that particular song and I am not aware of another place where I can X all their songs or an artist entirely (yes, please), but there should be one.

Is that a possibility? Cuz if your subroutines shuffle Coldplay or Mumford and Sons on my Flow once again, I'm gonna pout fervently and roll my eyes.

Thanks!

Please can we add this. I really want to block Brian Adams and Staind.

Op's description hits the spot

Flow should get the point after disliking a song by the same artist 5 times in a row

There is a function to add an artists music en masse to your playlists or hit the love button but there is nothing to stop certain artists music ever coming up in my flow.
My case in point is I dont want to listen to Gary Glitter the convicted peodophile as I really dont want to earn a sicko like him any royalties, Personally i dont think his music should even be on your service.
I only have the the option to hit X when the music is played but i dont want any of his music to ever come up.

Are you going to have an option to stop music completely from an artist?

Hi, I would like to suggest a button to indicate that i don't like certain artist or song, because when i open the main page i have suggestions of music i don't like and i never played so i'd like to delete them. That's all, thank you for your time. I leave a foto as an example.

Deezer seems to think I want to listen to Bruce Springsteen on my FLOW. They could not be more wrong. I have un-liked him [the nega-heart thing] on every occasion a track of his comes up. I refuse to listen to him, ever! He keeps coming up [wtf], how do I kill it? I thought FLOW was supposed to learn your preferences? Or has its AI developed a cruel sense of humour?

If he keeps coming up, I will cancel my subscription. I don't want to listen to him for free, let alone on a pay service.

Hi there 🙂 So an artist will be banned automatically when you dislike 3 of their tracks. I checked your disliked tracks and could only find two from Bruce Springsteen. So with the next disliked track from him, he should not appear in your Flow again :)
Let me know, if it still happens after the next time you dislike a track 🙂

Hi Anja, thanks for the reply. It felt like I'd disliked his tracks on more than two occasions, but I guess the logs don't lie?

There really should be a more straightforward way to 'ban' artists. I doubt anybody wants to hear an artist they loathe 3 times?


😀

Totally, i would also love to block entire lists for example Reggaeton or Hip Hop. I would never listen to that.

I agree blocking artists would be great. Also, can we please have flow based on genre, sometimes I want to listen to international/foreign music only, sometimes I just want to do classic sometimes rock, but not a blend.

This would greatly improve accuracy of your Flow. Especially when you have only few songs loved Flow is less personalised. I'm sure that increasing that, but without having to commit yourself to the love function would keep more people on the platform.

I would personally like to see that feature for the entire platform of Deezer so that the albums wouldn't show up in the less personalised and for me at least less used homepage. This doesn't have to affect playlist and search neither but it would be a plus nevertheless.

I like how many YouTube extensions handle this, for example, they are keeping an entire collection of your blocked channels and make that list searchable.

i'd like seriously don't see posts about brazilian funk on my deezer. would i can? would i can select anything to i don't to see, to i don't to hear?

performers are not played?

I'm sorry @MunulfR, but what do mean?

For example, in Flow you can mark tracks that you do not like, so they are no longer offered to you (although they are offered from time to time). Is it possible to mention the artist (immediately all his work), so that his compositions are not even offered? Very frustrating when such songs are found in Flow or in mixes while listening to your favorite band.

It's good that the premium dееzer allows you to unlimitedly skip tracks, but still it's annoying.

Hi there, that's not possible, at least not manually. But an artist should be banned automatically if you dislike 3 of their tracks 🙂 Also I'd suggest you vote for this idea to let the developers see that this is something we need to work on :)

Thanks for your reply:)

Thanks for your reply:)

I want to block - not only songs - but artists from playing in my Flow. Unfortunately, I've tried by blocking their songs but even then, they return. How can I block them once and for all?

@fabfranco I moved your post to this topic as we've already discussed this here 🙂

@Anja how can we vote so this idea becomes a reality? Where should we go to, webpage-wise?

you can share it wherever you want with whomever you want - social media, other music forums, whatever. Be creative 🙂

and nothing... seems devs just don't care.
ADD THE FUNCTIONALITY

thank you!

I don't get it, it's been 7 months since this was suggested.
Does it require a big overhaul to add this, or is it because record labels don't like it when people don't want to hear a certain artist, and they just want to keep shoving the same songs and artists over and over into our playlists? Why can't we just ban an artist?

Can we block a language too? I've been getting too much russian crap lately.
