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!

@Rudi I searched for “terror overcome” and played the first result. Listen to these tracks in order and tell me how that makes sense! :joy: Oh my….

@Rudi I think this thread should actually be changed to title “Desktop client should only play the selected search result, rather than adding all search results to queue”, and then should be moved to “Go an idea?”

@swinxnl do you agree? I think that’s actually the core issue here. If the handling of search results (i.e. only playing the song you select) is fixed, than that fixes your concern right (at least on desktop clients)?

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 :thumbsup_tone2:

@Rudi I think there might have been misunderstanding of this idea. Controlling track mixes doesn’t fix this. And track mixes still don’t start with the song that’s the subject of the mix.

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.
