There are different tracks in my favorites. Like sometimes I like to listen speed metal and another time I like to listen some classics but seldom I want to mix them. Also, I'd like to listen not just random speed metal or classics, but suggested according to my tastes. It would be great to have an option for that. Yep, there are "moods" and "genres" in browse mode, but not in the favorites and flow. Also, suggestions algorithm is quite bad at guessing my mood, so I'd like to be able to help it with some menu in the app.

Hi there, sorry for the late reply. Have you checked the Flow tabs already? That's what those tabs do 🙂

Yes, sure. But it's not quite the same. I want an option to filter my favorites collection by genre/artist/time/etc. Without any suggestion besides what is already added to my favorites. There are times when I want to explore something new (and I'm happy to use flows and other options at that time) and there are other times then I want to stick to what I already know and like. But I do not want to manually create playlists from tracks already in my favorites just to randomize it later, it's time consuming and it's what computers are for...

Playlist folders please! Slightly shocked this was not possible. Abundance of chaos prevails until amended!

Hi there, yould you please have a look at this idea and tell me if you mean this: https://en.deezercommunity.com/ideas/317/index1.html

If so please vote for it and we close this topic as we need to make sure not to have duplicates ;)


DearDeezer, do you have plans to implement a map structure? Timing? grtz

Adding my name to the list.

This is quite a critical feature to me. I was elsewhere where they did have this feature (but screwed up something else, so I moved to Deezer) but I'm going crazy having to go through hundreds of playlists every time to find what I want. I really don't need to see my xmas playlists between January and November, for example, but generally it's just tough to find your stuff without a proper sorting feature.

@Flo.Deezer Can you tell us whether or not this feature will come to Deezer at some point and whether that will be in weeks, months, years? Is it even considered to add such a feature?

Hi!

I love making playlist and categorize my favorite musics. Sometimes I add a song to a wrong playlist, I don't found a song in playlist where should be there, so I have add again, and I have to check my other playlists to delete the previous wrong adding.
This would be more comfortable and clear, If after I click to "+" button and I see my playlists, there would be a sign where the song is already added( for example a check symbol or bold font or anything)

And an other way or other options. I can see the song what i add to my favorites with a heart, but I would prefer If I can see the playlist too, for example with a little picture of the playlists. That should be optional and the users can be switched off if they want.

Thank you if you read my suggestion!

Yes to this one, big time! Tagging albums and playlists would be a huge improvement.
I currently have about 150 albums in my profile and already now it's starting to be off-putting to find the ones you'd want to listen now. Can't imagine what a chore it'd be with e.g. 1000 albums in the collection given how poorly especially classical music and compilations are labelled.

+1 from me as well, also Spotify has this in their desktop app, although they disabled playlist folders in their mobile apps, I think, or at least the feature to play a folder in shuffle mode which would be nice, too.

Related to that idea would be an easy option to add a complete album to a playlist with one click. At the moment we have to select all tracks of an album with the related check box, and only then we can add all selected tracks to a playlist.

I also add my vote for this feature to be implemented.

I will go directly with the first streaming provide that implements it!

All since the begining of time I have requested from leading streaming services (Spotify, Tidal, Deezer) to add some feature for organizing albums into personal folders. It is hard to believe how slow progress has been over the last 10 years since Spotify started... Nothing happens. I guess the reason is that we, who need a way to organize our 750 favourite albums, constitute only a few percent of the listening community. The rest 99 % only listen to the recent pop hit playlists...

We can probably wait forever to get this feature. I have given up.

Better to collect vinyl's and order them in the bookshelf.
