With the new change to add songs to queue by swiping, Deezer has also decided to remove one of the most unique elements of the product: how queueing works. Every other platform (to my knowledge) allows you to build a temporary queue, that clears as you listen to songs, and is persistent. Only Deezer, to my knowledge, allows you to build a persistent queuelist outside of a playlist, and shuffle the queuelist together, and this feature should at least be toggleable, or have a new name. I personally have a queuelist of about 20,000 songs, made by shuffling between 50 and 100 playlists to adjust the ratio of different genres, new and old songs, etc, and that can't be replicated in a playlist, for a few reasons.

  1. Playlists do not currently (easily, at least) allow for duplicates of various songs.
  2. If you want to hear more of a certain artist/genre, you can't simply add another playlist and reshuffle, so it's far more rigid.
  3. When building a playlist of 20,000 songs or so, rebuilding it is a lot of work, but is required for this style, since adding new songs is both risking not liking it and then needing to remove it, and knowing that eventually it will not be new and you'll need to add more.

I personally think this old system was great, and I would love to see some way to return the old behavior.

This would be great. The way queuing used to work was ideal for me for setting up a few playlists in a row for a long drive
