Flow suggestions should be based solely on Favourite tracks.

Im sure there are lots of people that let their family play songs they’d never listen to otherwise.

My case is weirder. I had my account weirdly “cross over” with someone else’s. The only way I could communicate is by playing songs (our Now Playing songs were sync’ed). So I played “LOGOUT” by Saba about 15 times. Now it’s appearing in my Flow.

Ive never added this song to anything. Just played it.

As luck would have it, I do like the song so will put it in a playlist, but this shouldn’t be the case.

Further to this, I think due to the account cross-over issue, I’m getting a lot of weird recommendations of cheesy keyboard covers of piano songs. I can’t explain it any other way. 

Hi

I would really appreciate this feature. I really like trying out Deezer's recommended releases or other artists/albums I find from the Music tab.

Other times I might get a recommendation from a friend or a request from my wife or guests.

But in these scenarios it doesn't mean that I love that music and want it to influence my recommendations. If I do find something I like then I will add it to my favourites. So then it makes sense for flow to be based just on my favourites.

Thanks

 


Hello @Jim Barton, thank you for your input, it’s appreciated :slight_smile:


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! 


Reviving this thread. The changes to Flow in 2022/2023 were broadly good, but I have a problem with one of the ‘improvements’.

It was decided that Flow would make its recommendations based on music that you have ‘liked’ but also music that you have played. Previously, Flow was based on music that you ‘liked’ only.

Now, my Flow is flooded with music that I have played (e.g. at the request of my wife, or instrumental music that I listen to when I’m working) but not actually ‘liked’. I know I can change the ‘mood’ of my Flow, but this still makes its recommendations based on music I don’t actually want to listen to.

Is there any way this could be fixed? Or, at least, implement an option that the user can enable/disable. e.g. “Restrict Flow recommendations to Liked music only. Yes/No”


In other words, Flow should not be influenced by a song just because it was played.


@Yula, has this been acknowledged?


@Yula, has this been acknowledged?

hey there @maxkshaw 

@Yula has different responsibilities now with deezer and is no longer actively involved in this part of the forums and the service.

additionally, as this is a four year-old thread, you might gain more traction with a new, concise post, perhaps after reviewing all of the many and recent topics on Flow.

I think the topic has been discussed to death, but you might have something new and insightful to contribute.

Cheers.


Thanks @GropplerZorn, I did not know about @Yula role change. Do you know who has replaced her?

I know this is an old thread and the subject has been “discussed to death” but I think that just reinforces the point that this is a highly requested feature that Deezer appears to be ignoring.

Perhaps @Jaime.Deezer could provide some insight?

@Leonídia.Deezer @Jaime.Deezer @AntjeDeezer has this flaw been acknowledged by Deezer?


@maxkshaw as far as I am concerned there’s not an option to enable/disable Flow.
It is a popular idea though and I invite you to vote and keep pushing for it. I’ll do the same on my side but can’t guarantee anything:

Apologies for the inconvenience


@Jaime.Deezer - that’s an interesting thread. It discusses the problem, but I don’t think a “private session” is the correct approach. The solution is simple: Flow should be based on songs that the user likes (or dislikes) only. It should not be affected by anything else. Keep it simple and you will have fewer complaints.
