Radio mix for every and any album, playlist or song

Just like in Spotify I'd like to be able to generate new playlists or listen to an endless radio-like playlist generated from my existing playlist, an album or an artist.

I've found the thing I miss the most from Google Play Music, was what you described. Being able to start a radio playlist from a particular song. Deezer has the ability to start a mix from an artist, but if a song is quite different from the usual material an artist creates, then ideally you'd like to retrieve similar songs.

Google Play Music was much more accurate than Spotify (in my opinion), but you had the ability to pull up a heap of similar songs based on just one song you liked. YouTube Music doesn't seem to be as accurate as Google Play Music - not by a long shot.

Not sure what work would need to be done behind the scenes, but it would be a great feature.

Indeed, very nice feature.
Very useful when creating your own playlist and want to extend it.
Missing it from Spotify and Google Play Music.

Google Play Music's start radio is the best by far. Spotify's isn't bad, Amazon music is trying it as well but is much more limited. It does a better job on more popular songs.

Te artist mix on Deezer is decent, but a radio based on a song (same as Google Play Music or Spotify) would be great.

Might be a lot of work behind the scenes to implement.

Please consider implementing a song mix feature similar to the artist mix that is currently available. I also subscribe to Spotify, Slacker and Pandora and all have song mix (it's actually called either song radio or station depending on the service, but it's the same functionality). Spotify even has an album station feature in addition to song radio. I think album mix would also be a great addition to Deezer.

Seems they are already beta-testing this feature called Song Mix in their mobile apps according to a Reddit posting.

This is one of the key features I miss from Apple Music. The ability to seed a radio station / mix based on song/album/artist... it then plays songs based on the seed including similar and related songs/artists/albums... and learns from what you up and down vote.

I always found this the best way to discover new music and miss it tremendously.

Oh my god! Everyone that uses Deezer probably misses this! please implement it since the flow playlist at least for me is a total miss every time.

Thanks Rafael! I'm very happy to see there are discussions going on.

I have recently found myself listening more and more to playlist radio on Spotify and Slacker, so I would like to add another suggestion for Deezer playlist mix (in addition to song and album mixes).

BTW, Spotify has removed album radio since I initially posted 😞
