Podcasts and the order of episodes (Playing in chronological order etc.)

Hiya guys. As other users have suggested, it would be fantastic if you could choose the order in which to play podcasts. The majority of people like to play podcasts in chronological order, especially if you’ve just found a new one to start listening to. It’s quite irritating to have to constantly go back to the app to manually select the next episode since the default order means you’re listening in reverse order. Please include this in a future update soon! It’s my only pet peeve about Deezer 😢 at the very very least, have an option to select podcast episodes using the ‘play next’ or ‘queue’ function. Thanks!

Hi there @Rob Igo thank you for reporting it to us, my friend.
I know that we've been discussing this. But it could be on the pipeline for the future. I'll pass the feedback on and see what our devs say 😉

Please add manual sorting in personal playlist whatever the content is.

How could you listen to a podcast in several issues, when the tracks are in the wrong order?

Worse, i cannot add each track in a private playlist, so I could sort them manually.

What the point of listening to a book, or show or audio documentary from the end to the start???

What am I supposed to do: stop my car to get to the track before, while driving on a highway??!?
EVERY 10 MINUTES???!!!

When listening to podcasts on the website, on Chrome (latest version), I keep having the same error after pausing.

What happens :
  • I listen to the podcast for a while with no issues
  • I pause the podcast
  • The tab stays open, but maybe I go on other tabs or other softwares.
  • Later I resume the podcast
  • It will play a few seconds then stop with the pop up "an Error has occured, please try again later"
The only way to fix this is to refresh the page and press play again (and pray it kept where I was on the podcast).

It is really annoying as podcasts are long and I often pause it because i'm interrupted, so I encounter the problem very often.

Hi @Karottin

I agree with above - hopefully the development team will actually try and listen to podcasts and understand how it should work! 🙂
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.)

I don't think we want you to just 'pass it on'. We want feedback, and ideally a resolution. What are you doing about this problem that you said you would look at a whole year ago?

Hey @ntreid

Thank you for your honesty. We've got big plans for our podcast section.
This year we've been recognising our shortcomings and we know that our users have been reporting some issues for quite some time. We're now thriving on these, to make things better. Next month our community team will be discussing Podcasts with the product managers responsible for the feature. So I hope to have updates for the community soon after that 👍🏼

Hey @Lyfae

Sorry that's happened. Could you try clearing the browser's cache to see if there's an improvement? Does it happen to all podcasts you listen to?
