Custom tags/ratings/tag songs and then create dynamic playlists
+7
+7Thanks for your suggestion, I like it. I've moved it here for similarity and added votes. Please register your contribution as well! 😉
I have three ideas I’d like to propose:
- Custom user tags for songs/albums/etc. The idea is to add an option to add your own tags to a song, say “catchy”, or “sad, slow-paced” or whatever, that will show up next to the songs in your playlist or wherever you have it. This would be incredibly useful for finding specific types of songs quickly, if you don’t want to take the time to remember the song/album name and search through the whole playlist. Ideally colors would be supported as well, so if you’re in the mood for a “sad” sounding song, you just scroll through your playlist, check every song with a blue tag saying “sad” next to it, and add it to your queue. You could also sort your playlists by tags. As an aside, it would also be helpful to add your own ratings to songs, and sort by that. This would work similarly to tags.
- Cross-playlist shuffle. This is already technically possibly by clicking on a playlist and doing “add to queue” or “listen next”, but from what I can tell the only way to do this is to hit “add to queue” or “play next" on whatever playlists you want to listen to, and hit the shuffle button twice. However, it’s still going to include whatever songs were in your queue. So this feature would let you listen to a random shuffling from only whatever playlists you choose to play from. The ability to clear the queue and “reshuffle” instead of having to turn shuffle off/back on would be extremely helpful as well. (The fact that you can’t clear the queue is odd and very annoying).
- Custom Lyrics. I don’t expect this feature to get added because it would involve adding a whole new dynamic to the app, but I thought I’d share my idea anyways. There are many songs that don’t have lyrics in the app with them, and it would be amazing if there was a way to add your own lyrics to songs, and time the lyrics to pop up at the appropriate points in the song as well. This would be especially helpful for user-imported MP3 files. Possibly you could export/share your custom lyrics with other lyrics, but this feature isn’t as important.
These are just some of my ideas, the first two of which I think are quite feasible and would greatly help the user experience. If you like these ideas, please give this post a vote.
P.S. (Where is the “my FLACs” import feature already)?
P.P.S (Please let us show playlists on the side of the app and let us drag songs into them like in Spotify).
Meant to say “share your custom lyrics with other users”, not “share your custom lyrics with other lyrics”. Blegh.
Might be an idea to post these as separate threads so people can vote on them individually.
2 & 3 sound good but don’t bother me particularly. 1 is fantastic though and it would really enhance how I use Deezer.

I’ll leave this how it is for a while, and if it gets no traction I’ll make separate posts like you suggested. Thank you for your feedback on my feedback. If you like the tag idea, could you give it a vote? Thanks.
It would be great if we could add our own custom tags and ratings to songs/albums/etc. It would ideally support colored tags. There should be an option in each playlist that lists each tag used in said playlist. You would then be able to add all songs of that tag from that playlist to their own queue. So for instance, if you want to listen to only the “sad” songs in a playlist or in your favorites, you’d look at the tag selector and click on the blue “sad” tag, then > add all to queue.
You could also use this to mark “listen later” for songs that, for instance, a friend recommends but you don’t feel like listening to right now.
As an extension to this suggestion, you should be able to add custom user ratings to songs/albums. This would very similar to tags, and it would show the star or number rating next to the songs that you’ve rated. You could then organize your playlist by ratings and create a unique queue.
+7Hi there
Thank you very much for your detailed feedback and support. I've moved your suggestions here and improved the title so that this can benefit from more votes and traction. This way is also easier for our devs to listen to recommendations about tags in the same place 
Also, it would be great if we could enable seeing the little album cover icons next to the songs in a playlist on desktop like it shows on mobile.
First and simplier step: add a “I Like” button, so that Deezer know I liked it but I don’t put it in my favorites.
I also like tags ideas.
+7Hey
Thanks for the suggestion, please vote for this similar idea here so that we can consider a priority among other requests 
Hello,
I don’t know if this is the right place but talking about tags, could be useful for a playlist to have to possibility to add some tags to each songs.
My specific user case is this: I make a playlist for a party with a lot of different songs and geners, then I assign a tag to each song (ex. "dance", "chill", "rock") so during party we will have more control on what to play (ex. grouping by tag "dance" will play only "dance" songs).
Something like this...
Hello 
And it would be fantastic to control the favourites tracks also by tags. With the possibility to choose one or more tags before or during the listening (and/or exclude tags also). I often listen to my favourites in random mode but frustrating not to able to filter mood for instance. I don’t want to a hard gabber after a downtempo track.
I agree with suggestions about colored personal tags for track. I could use tags to mark specific songs I want to find faster or categorize in some way.
These tags could work like a special playlist but
- with it’s own column in the tracks table (with clickable names, this column shouldn’t include conventional playlists)
- it would be personal (others could see them if they are looking in your playlist, but that should have a separate security toggle if even implemented)
- with color (if not a property, maybe an extracted color from playlist cover)
- tracks are filtrable/searchable by several tags inclusion (AND/OR/NOT, like ‘everything but explicit/guilty pleasure’ or ‘rock & lyrics’ - logical evaluation is probably the hardest part about all this)
- probably with a separate tab for such playlists (or they could be put in ‘Tags’ folder when you implement them)
- A UI that lets you add a track to several playlists/tags at once or create them right there just by writing name
- also system tags like ‘explicit’, ‘favorite’, ‘lyrics’, etc. could be a thing
With growing number of table columns, column picker could come in handy which could include columns for other props like bpm or genre to sort by (which could help some folks above), probably even a properties window with all the information about a track (not only additional, like in Spotify), but these are separate features
I understand, this is a lot, but this is what I saw in my mind’s eye :)
+7Ah! Thank you for your thoughtful feedback
It makes things much easier for the devs to see exactly what you, as a user, can benefit from. I've forwarded your comments for them to see.
Have a great week ahead 
Similar to the above, another supporter of tags or filters to allow quicker location of albums/artists/genres or my own personal categories of music from within my favourite albums (not just tracks) which, after several years of using deezer, is now a pretty huge list (over 1000) and difficult to navigate. Thank you!
Please add this feature… I’m a long-time Deezer user and my list of Favourite Albums is huge. Even the simplest tagging feature would be awesome, just so that I can categorize the albums like “Sleep”, “Work”, “Roadtrip”, or whatever.
+7All the votes have been transferred into this idea.
Hey guys. This discussion is 3 years old.
Are you working on this?
Any estimated time?
I want to be buried with my 1600 digital albums that I can't filter more than A-Z / Z-A / Recently added.
