Track Mix should always start with the track that is the subject of the mix

The Track Mix feature in Windows starts the Mix with a Track other than the Track that the Mix is made from.  For example, I choose to create a Track Mix from the song “Go Slow” by Radiohead. I expected “Go Slow” to be the first Track in the mix. This should always be the case.

Can you change this feature in this way? I think you will find that it is what most users would expect.

This is so true! I was very thrilled to find out I can finally listen to a mix based off of one song (seems like a basic feature at this point). But after trying it out and realising that the mix doesn’t play the song you start track mix with I just never used it again.

Hello @Rafael. Has this idea had any traction? The same issue is still there.

I've changed the status of the other topic @teqteq - that will prompt a discussion around the feature, so the devs can be aware it isn't working to the way you expect :v_tone2:

I agree with this sooooo much! I found this thread because I today I submitted a request for this feature. The person from the support team advised me to check if the feature was suggested in the community.

 

We need this so much! We should at least have the possibility to activate/deactivate it.

 

If you look for specific track and play it, Deezer will play a ton of similar versions of the same track, then it will start play the covers, then the bad covers, then Karaoke versions. Very annoying.

 

It is almost useless to be able to play an individual track, if you can’t play a mix that starts with it. Youtube does that very well! One of the reasons why I’ve started the Premium subscription is that I thought this was a limitation for the free version… Might switch back to free tbh.

Hey @kounistou 

Thanks for sharing it with us, we need your feedback to get the feature right. Changes won't happen from one day to another but your input is super important at this time - as we need more and more feedback to build a better user experience in the future. I'll be passing this on straight away :v_tone2:

The issue still persists, and I would also like to add that when searching for a song and playing it, Deezer should instantly play track mix starting with the song you clicked and not play through the search results.
