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 am also having troubles with flow: it keeps playing the same 30-40 songs which is about 10% of my favorites... it really needs some work

    I think you could earn by making "flow" customizable.
    I have about 700 tracks or so in my "liked" list. Then "flow" will play almost exclusively from there, and only the tracks played most frequently. Even if I swipe to the next song because I've heard it too much, "flow" register it as played and bumps it even further up on the list of songs to be played more often.

    So I rarely use "flow". It works better to use the "favorites" and randomize.

    I would like if I could set the number of songs in "flow" from the "liked" list to a lower setting in %. Like 50% new songs, so I find new music.

    It would also be good if Deezer registered when I skip a track, and downpriorited it.

    Flow should mix some favourite music and new tracks but mostly repeats what I have already heard. Even exactly the same songs from the same artist. It can play “summer of 69” every day but what is wrong with other songs from Bryan Adams??? And deleting songs doesn’t work!!!! I’m pressing X for the song and app will say that I won’t hear it again...and guess what I’m hearing next day? Flow too repetitive. Same songs every day...

    Yup, totally agree.

    At first Flow used to show songs of related artists, and that was nice. But it came to a point in which it got stuck and now I hear the same 40ish songs every time.

    Deezer should be aware of the potential of such a great idea to discover new music. Spotify's algorithm is incredibly good and if I'm paying to use Deezer's service, I would expect it to be a good option to discover new music.

    we should be able to tell you what we dont what to hear too... what about if i dont like some specific tag? like music in spanish? of in chines or any other, for example im from Argentina but i HATE all music in Spanish (no all but 99.99^%) and due to my geolocalisation i get flows that totally kill my FLOW!!! i literally get woken up by some Latino bullshit that its not even my main style i listen to 60s-90s us/eu and all of the sudden some daddy Yankee bullshit, its like you want to give me a heart attack. i have to get up from bed at 4 am and click the X button and later i just get a different sh**ty song from someone that i "should like" just because from where i live that is discriminatory and generalization... no all Latinos like Latino music same goes for all audiophiles / music enthusiast. dont make assumptions just from where we live.
    that being the case ask me how muck my set up cost and if its high enough just play jazz and classical music might as well go all out in the generalization... sry i love deezer bee using it for more than 7 years but men come on when flow came out was great it is great but fix it please

    I would double vote if I could. Opened another query about this.

    It would be great if I could start flow with specific track and not only on my based on my usual listening habits. E.g. I would like to search for a song which fits my current mood and then 'Start Flow from here'.

    Another idea is that I could configure the ratio between songs I already know and tracks which I haven't played.

    Agree!
    Another great way to discover new music is "Hear This" feature. It is working on web version and disappeared in mobile apps few months ago. There are 3 features which is make Deezer better than other services:

    • User's playlists. It is very-very nice then you can search across other users playlists. Sometimes you can discover gems using this way.
    • "Hear this" recommendations. New Albums + users playlist which fit your taste.
    • Flow
    Guys, please also support this feature request. We are asking Deezer to return "Hear this" feature to mobile apps:

    +1 to add "Explore" more new music with Flow.

    Same here. I keep adding songs to my playlists and like them so the FLOW will update, increase its selection but it is just worse. I just keep getting the same songs both liked and not liked.

    And right now as a paying customer I am pretty pissed that no one from Deezer cares enough to reply here that they will at least look into the issue.

    So do you people recommend some replacements for Deezer?
