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 

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?

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.

​@Jaime.Deezer ​@Leonídia.Deezer - is there any update on this? It seems that Deezer is ignoring the problem and/or doesn’t understand it.

Hello ​@maxkshaw thanks for sharing your opinion about improvements to add on Flow.

Flow algorithm is something that our developers are constantly looking to improve as it is one of the greatest features on Deezer.

That is why from Flow Genres, we have evolved and created the Flow Mods, and also we added an option for users to have their Flow more based to discovering new tracks or playing more content that is on their favourites.

If you want just to hear your favourites, you can use the feature “Shuffle My Music” inside your favoutires tab.
