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.

Any news on improving this function?

 

So anoying to click on “mix inspired by this song” and then fall on the song you wish to have discover after listening YOUR choice .

 

Could we have an update on this Rudi?

Hello @fiiix12, we don’t have news at this point, our teams have been working on a lot of different projects recently, but we’ll get back to this in the future.

Have a nice weekend

This is one of my few gripes with this app. Right now the only workaround is to let the song you wanted to listen play out completely then press back after it changes tracks and then select “start track mix”. Way too many steps especially if you listen in the car while driving or listen to music at work.

I subscribed from Google Play Music as they end it soon, and will replace with pure nonsense app designed for YT videos, and music less than anywhere else. On GPM it worked from a tarck I selected Radio. Too bad on Deezer this is not the case, I hope you can fix it! Would be nice ;)

Radio feature on the other hand is tremendously amazing. It plays new songs a lot.

I heard same on GPM over and over, on YTM in the same order all the time…

Deezer in the Mix is best, just start with what I choose.

You are most welcome.

I am on free trial on Premium and already did transfer for 2 of my lists. One to come tomorrow. I will renew it after that trial one year straight. This good it is. It’s like heaven, all the songs I need.

Honestly I didn’t notice this “issue” until I’ve came accross to this thread.

On GPM however I was used to start a radio on a song with song I start.

Hi, I often use the track mix feature (starting with the track selected) in Google Play Music and would really like it if I could do the same with Deezer, which I'm considering moving to when Google Play Music finally dies.

 

Thanks.

Welcome to Deezer.

I am from Google Play myself and this is something I want fixed.

When first tried trackmixes, I was thinking it was broken, but it seems it works this way ;d

I have never noticed this… passed this feedback on to the right team! ;)

Probably because you never used Google Play ;d

We are so used to GM radio which starts from the song you start radio from.

This happens to still be a problem, I started a track radio radio and didn’t get a single song from the artist of that track, until about 100 tracks in I then start getting Cardi B and whatever other crap is in the charts.

I too am looking for alternatives to Google Play Music as Google have decided to kill it, but the 1 thing keeping me from Deezer, is that every problem I have has been mentioned in the community threads, sometimes up to 2 years ago, and only ever gets a reply saying either, ‘we’ll pass the feedback on’ or ‘we’re looking in to it’.

It’s a real shame because Deezer has some nice features and nice UI but never takes the time to actually fix issues, I guess I’ll try back in 2 more years.
