Let's choose how "Add to queue" works

Yeah, this change makes no sense. “Add to queue” should add to the end of the queue (which has always been the behavior). Witt this change,  “Add to queue” duplicates the “Play Next” functionality.

The change has been extremely frustrating, as I can no longer queue up a series of albums to listen to without them being inserted into the middle of the album I’m currently listening to.

Yes as a newcomer this is quite confusing/frustrating.

This is what i figured out with melodi/gemini (so i can entirely be wrong here):

The issue seems to be that an album play (with the purple play button) treats the album as a low priotity.(the same as the algorthmitic never ending stuff at the end) So it does not treat the album as the end of queue.

If you use the three dots and use add to queue it is treated as high priority. Then it works how you expect it to work.

So the tedious method to queue albums becomes something like

1.start song mix of one track of the album album (this sets the algorthmitic end)

2. Three dots → add to queue
3. Skip one track
4. Now you have your recommendations set correct and the whole albums is queue’d with high priority so you can queue normally

Why deezer counts the album play button as a low priotity is beyond me.

Exactly!

I logged this issue as a fault, and they suggested I come here. So here I am

On my mobile I often queue up another playlist after the one I am currently playing so I dont have to touch my phone while driving etc when the current playlist ends. Now I guess I’ll just let the playlist play to the end and start at the beginning again until I finish driving and start a new one then. 

Frustrating as I didnt ask for this change, yet another feature I could do without. It would be really good if Deezer would consider allowing Premium users to disable/ enable features in settings. I have only ever used the “Launch Track Mix” in error, would love to have the option to turn that off

Guess they tried to make it work like Spotify, but the fact Deezer doesn't work like Spotify is one of the main reasons a lot of users choose Deezer.

I came to check out the ideas out of curiosity and saw this post: so this change isn't a bug, it's an actual update??
It's completely ridiculous; I can no longer queue up multiple albums in a row properly like I used to!
The basic functionality was simple enough, though:
- Add to queue: at the end
- Listen next: right after the current track

Are we sure it isn't just a bug?

Unfortunately it's not a bug, it was officially introduced by Deezer. :-/

I agree with your description. The “play next” and “add to queue” button works as expected if you look away from the weird idea of priority in the queue. I really don’t see the purpose of differentiating how songs were added to the queue, so I hope they remove the idea of low priority of songs in the queue. If I click “add to queue”, then I would expect the selection to be added to the end of the queue no matter how the rest of the queue was built. 

The other aspect of this change is that they did not add a "Clear queue" option. Although I'd still be frustrated by this change in behavior, at least there would be a defined process for establishing a fresh queue in which the new "add to queue" functionality would work.

I've ditched Deezer before when they've made frustrating changes (e.g. removed sorting from Downloaded music), so I'm not opposed to dropping this service again if they don't fix it. 

I reported this same bug and got an AI email response (pretty sure it was AI) telling me to come here. If this is truly not a bug, the design decision is simply baffling.

The section at https://support.deezer.com/hc/en-gb/articles/115004529809-Deezer-Cloud-Based-Queue-List#how_to_add_a_song_to_the_queue indeed gives basically the same explanation for the two buttons, which makes no sense.

So, the design decision is to have two buttons do the same thing instead of, like before, having each button do a different thing, each of which was useful. Is this truly a human decision or some AI nonsense?

I mean come on, even the button icons clearly show one button is meant to place the song high on the queue and the other at the end.

"Makes no sense" is the best way to describe this choice, in my opinion.

Anyway, if you scroll the topics in the community, you'll find users asking for it (which makes even less sense to me).

So guys at Deezer would make everyone happy by simply letting us choose in the settings which behaviour we prefer, I guess.

They actually announced it as a new feature! It’s so frustrating. And now we have two options with absolutely the same function 😓

I wrote to them. They asked for a video explaining the issue. I sent one, thinking, "Phew, now they'll finally see the problem!"
They replied that it was normal behavior.
I asked them how I could listen to several albums in a row—as simply as possible. I'm waiting for their reply.

I don't know who approved this change or why, but it's ruining my experience...

It really ruins the music session experience! 
 

One suggestion for you thought. I recently discovered the behavior is different for people in the beta program. I just registered into the program. My app was updated for the beta one and…..: “add to queue” is working closer to the way it should again! Still kinda strange, but have a distinction from “play next” option. I’m kinda relieved. Though it’s still such an outrageous change that’s still affecting so many users! 
 

You should try it!! As we don’t know how long (or if) it will be fixed to the original system in the common app!
