More discoveries in Flow

Is it possible to find out whether favourite tracks or favourite artists is the dominant algorithm in flow?

Or is it possible to have an option to select this ourselves?

It'd be nice if the algorithm goes something like 'for every 6 favourite tracks/artists, play 4 suggested tracks'

Flow did set off really well at the beginning, and again when someone on Deezer support reset a few things to try to resolve another issue, but it's gone back to just playing my favourite tracks again.

So if it works well on a fresh account, or when things are reset by Deezer, does this prove an algorithm issue?

My beta app on my Mac updated today and I have noticed an immediate improvement in Flow song variety. Still a lot of the same, but a steady intro of new songs that Flow never has played before. Hope it's not just a coincidence.

The new android app update is so much better.

Flow is back to the way it was when I first started.

Hopefully this means the issue is fixed?

I am starting to find flow really annoying. I put on the Personal Flow, even though my favorites only exists of metal music and artists like system of a down, 5 finger death punch, godsmack, cancer bats, bullet for my valentine, etc. Flow manages to find relations to coldplay, the cranberries, the police, adele, white lion, pink floyd, mayonaisse and yes even katy parry... These are the artists I just got by skipping through ~30 songs. I get like 2-3 good songs, then I need to block 1.

No matter how much I ignore/block the songs, flow keeps finding new ways to annoy me, WTF?

Why not add a 'based on...' to the song? I really want to know how flow comes up with this sh!t.

Actually this new Flow that have "discover music based on _______" sections pretty much ALMOST solved the issue, imo (but Flow itself still sucks).

However, on "discover music based on ______" we don't have the option to dislike, so when I'm listening to music Deezer is accounting things I'm experimenting with as listening habits and will suggest me more of stuff I'm listening only to see if I like it. Please, let me unheart songs on "discover music based on _____" sections!

The sliding control "what-i'm-used-to/discover" would do nice, or setting discovery moods would do well too. Another idea could be having a series of buttons popping up on Flow when I dislike a song like: "never again", "not today", "not now" "not from this album", "not from this genre", "not from this artist"... if you don't touch anything the popup would disappear with no further effects.

The new flow almost always suggests me Charts Music, despite the fact i never listenend to Charts Music.

After a few weeks of the flow changes, it's still working as intended and mixing up my playlist perfectly and suggesting a lot more than it was.


Thanks to the developers for fixing this.

You need to block the artist, not the track.

Training flow takes a while, but once trained you shouldn't see that much that you don't like

I can only use deezer as a player. If I want to listen to something new - no way I can use it because the flow lists suggest either something I already got in my own playlist or something old and annoying or something what I never like. It freaks me out. It's not only my opinion, I've heard this from other people too and didn't believe them until I got to experience it myself. I have another service like yours to compare with. Please do something with it.

@Inna.Dyakun I moved your post to this topic. We'll pass all feedback on to the team and I hope that the algorithm and the suggestion will be much better in the future 🙂
