Private (from FLOW) session - Deezer Incognito Mode

It would be good to have the ability to browse and listen without having an effect on FLOW.

Since the Flow algorithm is said to "work in real time" and is affected by every track played, I would like to be able to listen without Flow listening too. So I can go on a discovery binge, or look up an unknown artist, or perhaps play music outside my normal selection for a party, etc etc.

Google music's "I'm Feeling lucky" function became unusable once contaminated with my son's nursery ryhmes and wiggles playlists. Having made the move to Deezer I'm playing it safe by searching via youtube and Spotify - Spotify having "Private session" already in place.

    This is something that Spotify has that I wish Deezer had. I hope Deezer would one-up them too and also let you control it the way you can control WiFi in Windows 10. When you enable private listening it should default to automatically disable after 6 hours of inactivity (that’s what Spotify does) and there should be a dropdown to have 15 mins, 30 mins, 1 hour, and so on, as well as until manually turned off. Turn WiFi off in Windows 10 and you’ll get what I’m saying.

    Thanks for giving us a detailed feedback @raccoonsarecool like a spy! :sweat_smile:

    This is something our teams reported interest in developing. I'll give them a nudge about it and we'll take it from there! :thumbsup_tone2:

    Hi all.

    It might sounds weird, but…

    Usually When I’m using Deezer, I listen to the main genre I like, because most of the time, that’s what I want to listen too.

    But sometimes when I want to try somthing different, or something that someone send me and told me “hey, check it out” or even someting Deezer recommended me, I dont want it to be tracked, so it wont affect “FLOW” and other recommendation I get from Deezer.

    Giving a song a thumb down or an angry face, wont do it, because it may still affect my Deezer experience (please correct me if I’m wrong)

    My other option, is using youtube and other apps, but I got Deezer, I dont need or want to use other apps to enjoy my music.

    Is something like that possible?

     

    What do you think?

    Maybe sort of “incognito” listening, or an “ignore next tracks” or somthing like that?

     

    Hope I explained what I’m looking for

     

    Thanks in advanced,

    Eyal

    You know what? Private mode could answer this.

    Maybe they could do? Today, I don’t know how, Deezer started to play 90’s in Flow and I honestly skipped all. Yesterday it played METAL music because I listened METALstep which is hard dance in the style of metal. There really should be an option to ban certain genres from FLOW.

    RAW metal I do not like at all. If I like metalstep, doesn’t mean I like metal.

    I am coming from soon to be ended Google Music All Access paid and paid Deezer is amazing, but FLOW… I think they should add an option to RESET flow, just like I was able to reset Google Music recommendations (especially after playing 90’s at friend’s party). Or whatever.

    Hi

    I agree and think an incognito mode might work. Disliking individual songs would be a pain if you’re listening to entire album or other person’s playlist. Also, I have things like kids’ parties etc that I certainly don’t want to affect my flow.

    My suggestion is to allow the user to optionally set what is used for input to flow. I would like it to only be based on my favourites and certain playlists, for example.

    I wonder if there are any other solutions / ideas?

    Thanks

    Jim

    Count me on this wish list as well.  Just because I play “Baby Shark” on the way to Kindergarten with my daughter doesn’t mean I want to listen to it while working out at the gym.
