Custom tags/ratings/tag songs and then create dynamic playlists

It would be great if you could tag songs with your own categories and then use those to generate a playlist based on those tags. For example if you had tagged songs previously in your library you could then tell Deezer to generate a playlist based on the tags ‘happy’ ‘rock’ and ‘party’ and it would put together a playlist of all the songs with those tags. It could then use tags assigned by other users matching the ones you’ve used to suggest similar songs you might like based on those tags

    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.

    Yeah, that's not a bad suggestion either! @Kabukiman :wink:

    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.

    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 @Reekoz, it feels like it’s the right place to talk about this. I read a similar suggestion from another user some time ago, and I think it’s a really good idea. Thanks for taking the time to share that with us :slight_smile:

    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.

    Hi @Bálint Korpa, totally agree, it makes a lot of sense. Thank you for your contribution :slight_smile:

    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 :)
