More discoveries in Flow

Currently flow plays a lot of my favorites and similar music, but I would love to have more options to "discover" new music I might like. Maybe flow is not the best option for this, but overall I just wished there would be more variety or influence from my side.

    I agree. I like Flow and use it a lot but would prefer if it gave me more music that I have not heard it play before.

    Yep, flow plays same music all the time, give us some settings (genres, more new or more old etc.)

    I had the same experience.

    I found though I could get more discovery feel when I radically changed my music listening habits for a bit. Eg recently I started going on a Hans Zimmer binge spree and since then it started diversifying more.

    Agree. FLOW is great but not enough new music is suggested + the "Hear This feature isn't great IMO. Usually FLOW plays 150-200 songs from my favorites.

    It really depends I must say, Flow can bring great new music sometimes and more favourites other times. I guess it's a work in progress for them and to find an algorithm that makes everyone happy will be impossible....

    I think the easiest way to do it would be to have a sliding tuner. Left side being "favorites", and right side being "explore". You could also move the slider everywhere in between to get the right mix for you.

    @Nightofday that's a great idea!
    I'm a "Deezerhead" (fanboy) and just love music! (Please note even though I love all things Deezer I do not work for Deezer and therefore cannot assist with account issues etc.)

    FLOW really need to be improved . I'm using it a lot and I can't even remember when I got suggestions for music I'm not familiar with . It plays ONLY my favorites and maybe 1/4 of them ...
    Deezer , your shuffle algorithm is amazing but please improve FLOW . The platform is great for shuffling but unfortunately I didn't discover a lot of new artists on the service because the number of suggestions is very low. On the other hand Spotify Shuffle sucks but they do have weekly discover which works pretty good ....

    Thx.
