Sometimes you have that song in your head and you go search for it and play it.
But when the song starts playing, the playlist is filled with all the other search results.
In most cases this will be more ore less the same song, from another album, another artist, a remix, an instrumental version, or something like that. In either case not a great playlist to keep listening to. So, wouldn’t it be great to start the flow function from a single song? So we call tell “play this and get me more like this”. I think that could be a wonderfull addition!
continue flow, based on a single song

Thanks for your input. You're basically saying that you'd like Flow to be based on a single song, of your choice. Am I close to it? Let me know and I'll be happy to pass it on 😉
You can actually do this in the beta version of deezer.
Use the 3 dots by the track name to call the options up and select 'start song mix'
This works from the search results aswell but the option to do it automatically when clicking the song would be good.
Hopefully it gets rolled out to all users soon.
Hi. Any timing for when Start Song Mix will be rolled-out by platform? Thanks.
Yeah all other platforms can start a “radio” from a single song, with suggestions based on a combination of songs similar to that song, and songs you like/dislike (having come through Pandora, Last.FM, MOG, Beats, Apple, Spotify, Google Music and Tidal). Deezer is my favourite of the lot, but it’s ignoring the features of the competition and a lot of cracks are showing.
I don’t know the reported behaviour is consistent. I just played a song from search results in the iOS app, and straight afterwards it went onto a mix based on that song (didn’t play through the whole result-list).@swinxnl which app are you using and what are the steps to recreate?
Sorry I confused things a bit here. iOS and Windows behave in opposite ways.
How it should work for both:
What@swinxnl said originally regarding the current-state is still correct (I don’t have Windows beta yet though, only iOS beta)
Hi there@teqteq
Our next updates will allow users to control their queue in track mixes, for when you play a track from the search results - on mobile.
The title will remain like this as the idea was already passed to our teams (it's a few months old) but thank you for the suggestion
It seems on both iOS and desktop now, if you play a track from search results, it will then play all search results in sequence, which makes no sense to me (as in this thread - https://en.deezercommunity.com/features-feedback-44/track-mix-no-thank-you-60295 ). Unfortunately the illogical non-standard approach (imo) was chosen to roll out to all platforms since then...
Also, Track Mix is useless in this case because it doesn’t start with the song that’s the subject of the mix, as in this thread: https://en.deezercommunity.com/ideas/441
So this issue is still outstanding and has actually worsened imo.
I see this was ported to mobile too :-(
I've looked at all related comments you made about this feature and passed them on@teqteq , they need fresh feedback to continue working on this
We've already developed something similar with our Track Mix
Hello everyone!
We are starting a big Flow rework, to improve the experience and satisfy your needs.
We might not add exactly this feature, but we are trying to find a way to improve Flow in the best possible way.
This requires a lot of work and mostly, a lot of testing!
We have created this group for users who want to help us, you feedback is crucial for us.
Join the group, we need YOU!
