Deezer Favourite Tracks Limit of 2000 too small - please increase it!

Hey@brianlg  @oxa   ! I can hear you :/ I am really sorry and I hope this feature will be implemented very soon :)

@teqteq as regards recommendations at the moment they’re based on all music you listen to on your account and algorithms cannot detect what has been streamed due to circumstances and what has been played because user likes it. However, I can completely understand and I hope that the further developments of the app will make it possible to distinguish songs we like from those we “have to” play for other reasons :) To this extent, it’d be great if  you could share this great idea with us here ;) 

@WapeRPauL please find more info in this thread :) 

I got excited when I saw 3700 tracks in my Favourites! But then I realised it was a bug that tripled every song in my library… But it’s gone since killing and restarting - back to 1747 tracks again. Just letting you know in case it highlights a technical possibility (or one less impediment) to increasing the limit. 
 

I’m on iOS beta by the way. I’ll report it in that forum. 

Thanks for joining in! A lot of us have been bothered by this issue for so long, the more voices we have the better.

Just wanted to emphasise that this is a great idea you've posted for a quick fix (and we could really do with one), but, if the the fix needs to be a getaround of this nature, you need to change the current architecture Deezer.

It might be time consuming and costly, but as it stands the current design is pretty weak/poorly structured if it runs into issues like this. It would be worth it in the long run and allow a lot more flexibility for future changes. Updating the architecture should be a major priority at Deezer HQ.

I'm all for you doing this quick fix for now as it seems a great way to help users, but in the long term you need major changes.

Also, my usual plea: please give consideration to those of us who work by saving albums. I think I have about 1300 in my library at the moment, but 300 of those just don't appear in the list on the app. I fear hitting the 2000 limit too as I'd love to use Deezer in the long term, but would have to leave the instant this happened.

Hey @teqteq @dreamt_bulldozer  thanks a lot for the info provided and the feedback ! On what device/model/OS version did it happen?

Would like to point out that going forward this should be increased, spotify’s limit is making new in the financial times (I don’t want it to be Deezer!)

Hi there @Rob Igo 

You need to register in order to see that FT article. But thank you for the feedback, we'll pass it on.

Still, on the subject, our latest update from the devs says that we won't be increasing the limit, because this will subject the app to too many errors. But, we're definitely looking to perhaps change the current structure of how you can 'collect' music. We're looking to make it efficient too. So all feedback is important!  

Honestly, if you need to rebuild Deezer from the ground up, then do that. This is a critical requirement. It’s not even a feature request. It’s a bug. This is the highest voted idea, and you’re losing loyal customers. You should be talking to your CEO, not your developers.

I’m on a HiFi account, just transferred my collection from another streaming service, and just got hit with this ridiculous limit of 2000 favorite tracks. FFS, Deezer: you advertise as a premium streaming service with FLAC sound quality -- and then trip over such stupid and artificially imposed limit? And your top users beg you to fix it for more than two years now? It should be embarrassing for you to have such limit at this point. Please increase it ASAP!

Maybe you can increase this artificial limit to 5-10-20-50K just for HiFi accounts, or for Deezer Labs beta testers? Not all your users may ask for it, but a small number of premium users might be willing to pay for it.

I was truly amased when I reached 2000 tracks limit. All my musical experience is based on adding tracks to favs and then processing them to playlists, exploring albums, artists and genres, taking a track as a thread from a ball.

Dear deezer team, despite all your bugs, I stayed faithfull for more than 2 years now, but now I’m picking a service to migrate to. 
This limit is killing my listening experience!

Leon I'm totally with you and Alex above. I use favourites as part of my processing routine and is the only way to avoid needless repetition and searching to see if I've already added a track to a list somewhere.

Making a second favourites lists doesn't fix much for me as previously suggested on here. I don't use flow because I like stuff from lots of genres and flow mixes genres together that don't work well together. Favourites for me is a referencing tool and helps Deezer know what I like I guess.

I'm pretty stuck since favourites maxed out some time ago and seriously considering going through the pain of moving somewhere else. If I do that I won't ever be coming back I'm afraid. I love Deezer and want to stay faithful so please please fix this ridiculous situation.
