Ok this feature is still dead, but Apple Music has it (plus an alphabet for easy jump to scrolling and shuffle genres). Deezer please step it up. 
 

I actually like the new branding, but taking away features that were previously available is a little too much.

Did you update to the latest Deezer update?

Shuffle My Music is back! On Android, iOS and browser.

Just click on the arrows next to “Favorites”.

This is not the same, as it only shuffles my favorites. it used to shuffle my albums etc. For people listening to albums rather than individual songs it’s not very useful.

Been on Deezer for over ten years but if you don’t put shuffle my music back I’m off. 

While your at it put artists full discography back.

Awesomemac is right.  Don't be fooled by the name " favourites" .  If you play those arrows you will get shuffle your music (all playlists)......not your "favourite songs"( underneath option)

Hi @Josss77 that is correct. Already for some time, Shuffle all my music is back and it was because all the feedback Deezer received.

Hi, after some time requesting the feature “shuffle my music” to come back we got it some months ago.

However I noticed a few weeks ago that this feature now plays suggestions too. It suddenly started playing songs by bands I never even heard of. They are not in my favourite songs or favourite albums or any of my playlists at all. So basically “Shuffle my music”, the shuffle button next to Favourites and Flow do exactly the same thing. They all play a mix of your favourite playlists and albums plus songs you heard recently plus lots of suggested new music. 

I tested this both in the Android app and website on pc and it happens in both of them. 

Did anyone else notice this? thanks 

 


Hi all, the feature seems to be back and working as expected - it shuffles the whole library, without suggestions or anything that is not in the library.

However, the way it works is super annoying - it seems that it takes “most listened” songs and adds them all to the queue. I have a huge library (as probably everyone does) but still I listen to the same songs all the time. Can we just have “shuffle all” functionality without any extra features like this?? The fact that I like the song doesn’t mean I want to listen to it 30 times a day.

Yes, I noticed several issues and even opened a topic, but it seems I managed to get it fixed after almost three months. Or at least, my user experience is back to normal now. Do you still have problems?

I also had these strange repetitions last week and I was almost going to report it, but in the last few days it has improved a little bit, hasn't it?

This is exactly my experience with shuffle my music for the past few weeks

You are perfectly right my friend, now it seems to be working just fine. I checked 3-4 ago and it was all the same, but now shuffle works perfectly.

Dear Deezer developers, please do not touch anything! :D

Hi all, the Shuffle choice is also part of iOS app? Because I still can’t see it! Where is it exactly?

Hi @akdmnt as our superuser @awesomemac mentioned above a while ago, the optin is there, if you click on the Favourites icon (💜) and then in the shuffle icon.

So this means if you want to shuffle all your music, you need to favourite everything?

This does not appear to restore the original functionality of the shuffle all option.

I agree, this is not the same functionality at all! I have nothing in favourites. What I used to do with the functionality that removed was to shuffle all my songs of my playlists which was really awesome!!! Please restore it!

Hi, the "shuffle my music" button was replaced with this shuffle icon next to favourites, which may be confusing. But it does just the same thing really. The old functionality you want is there. 

I do not have a single favourite song, not even one. But when I click on that icon I get a random mix of all my playlists and my albums. It usually works great.

Flow on the side will still play as always from your artists, genres and recently played songs as well as new recommendations.

On website you can also click on "automatic recommendations" to get some new artists suggestions when playing from "shuffle my music". If you do this while synchronizing the playlist for all your devices, you will also get recommendations on your mobile app.

It does not always work fine but usually it does. 

Hope this helps. It took me a while to understand this new version 😄

I have nothing in favorites and the shuffle button tells me to add songs to my favorites.

 

It does nothing

Same to me, it does not work if you don’t have songs on favourites, it says “you need to add more music to your favourites first”, so it is not the same functionality, it is completely different. There is no way anymore to shuffle the songs you have in your playlists which is very disappointing especially when you are out for a walk or running and you don’t want to stop all the time in order to choose

I see. That is weird. It seems to work only for some people then 

That exact same thing happens to me in my LG TV Deezer app. I get that same message because I have no favourite songs although I have hundreds of playlists and albums.

But it works ok on the website with the browser in the same TV and also in android app. Let's hope they sort it all out soon.

When using the shuffle button (Shuffle my music) Deezer will select songs that Deezer thinks you would like depending on your favourites:

 

And I get 70 songs, that aren’t favourites always, but from artists I follow or artists Deezer think I would like.

But that is not what the "Shuffle my music" feature is supposed to do. 😮 It should only select songs from your favorite tracks, albums, and playlists. It should not add songs that Deezer thinks you might like. There are other functions for that, such as Flow. I insisted for over two months with the support team for the "Shuffle my music" feature to be back within the limits of my library. Now that it has finally returned to working as it should for me, it is really strange that it starts to work differently for you...


Dear Deezer developers, please stop doing what you are doing with this feature and roll your code back to where it was like 10 days ago 😣 

It was working perfectly, but now it’s again all over the place. When using the web version it’s like a 50/50 mix of the songs I rarely hear and songs being added to “shuffle all” feature all the time.

In iOS app it’s even worse - I am constantly listening to the same few songs, just like it was ~month ago.

Hello ​@Vitaly Skalsky sorry to hear that. 

I checked the most recent updates and couldn’t see any changes on the feature “Shuffle my Music”

This feature that now presents in a form of an icon on top right corner of the screen on mobile application and is the replacement of the old bottom “Shuffle my Music” ​@Dawg (can you find it)?

It creates a queue based on all content that exists on your favorites - Favourite tracks, playlist and albums.

Like ​@awesomemac mentioned, you will see in the queue, tracks with a heart that are on your fav tracks but also some without that will belong to one of your fav albums or playlist.

So for test purpose, I just created a new account, added a couple of albums and playlists, pressed “Shuffle my Music” and works fine like it works for ​@Marcormark.

In this same test, tried twice, created two different queues, that I just converted to playlist so you can see how different they are - https://www.deezer.com/en/playlist/13313624623 and https://www.deezer.com/en/playlist/13313637583

Can you ​@Vitaly Skalsky share a video of your case.
