Dear Deezer: we need to talk about casting and quirksNew

Please, Deezer, I have so much to say that it barely fits into a single review. Below are some of the most urgent issues and recurring annoyances I’ve experienced that seriously need attention:• Shuffle mode does not work properly when casting to external devices (at least with Google Nest devices). The shuffle button disappears as soon as casting begins.• While casting, the playback queue becomes unusable. I can only see previously played tracks, not upcoming ones, and there is no way to edit or manage the queue.• Music sometimes stops randomly during casting, as if the connection between the mobile app and the target device drops unexpectedly.• At times, the connection becomes unstable enough that audio plays simultaneously on both the phone and the speaker, but out of sync, and I lose control over playback on the cast device.• There are significant inconsistencies between controls in the Deezer app and Google Home. Google Home occasionally stops showing that music is casting even though playback continues. I have already configured the app to keep running in the background, but the issue persists. Often, I have to stop playback using voice commands and reconnect, which feels unnecessarily clunky.• Overall, the app feels slow and unresponsive, as if the underlying database or connection is lagging. I migrated from Spotify, and although I prefer Deezer for political, ethical and artist-support reasons, Spotify’s app is noticeably faster, more responsive, and more reliable in terms of user experience, so these things can be done!• Deezer should aim for more seamless integration with Google ecosystem devices worldwide. Despite multiple attempts and configurations, I have been unable to set Deezer as the default music service reliably within the ecosystem.• The desktop Windows app does not allow casting at all, which makes the overall experience feel fragmented and disconnected across devices.Please take these concerns seriously. Based on conversations with other users and discussions online, these issues appear to be common and not isolated experiences.

Double Standard in Recommendation and Search Algorithms: Popular vs. Niche ArtistsNew

Hello everyone,As a user who actively seeks out new music and values experiencing it in high-fidelity (Hi-Fi), I rely on accurate discovery tools. I frequently use YouTube for music discovery because its recommendation algorithm is highly precise and tailored. When I find a track I want to analyze or enjoy in lossless quality, I switch to Deezer. However, this is exactly where I encounter a deeply frustrating logical flaw in Deezer's algorithm.I am facing two fundamental issues:1. Imbalance in the Recommendation System: If I listen to a mainstream or highly popular artist for merely 20-30 seconds (and even skip it), Deezer immediately pushes this artist to my "Recommended" section on the home screen. Conversely, when I discover a new artist in a more specific genre, listen to their track completely 2-3 times in a row, and explicitly hit the "Like" button, they never appear on my home screen. The algorithm seems heavily weighted toward generic popularity metrics rather than my actual interaction data (likes, playtime, and repetition).2. Inflexible Search Engine: This bias also extends to the search functionality. When I try to search for these liked but less mainstream artists, the system fails to suggest the artist or track until I type the name out exactly, letter by letter. While typing just a few letters is enough for popular names, demanding an exact string match for alternative artists severely degrades the user experience.A platform offering Hi-Fi audio shouldn't sacrifice a listener's personal, nuanced preferences to mainstream popularity algorithms. The "Like" button and actual listening history must carry more weight than an artist's current chart status.Are there any planned algorithm updates that will prioritize genuine user interaction data over generic popularity?

Songs that follow each othersNew

Hello Deezer team! This is my first message ever to give some ideas but I've been on deezer ever since I had a phone (which was a long time ago) so I'd love to give this idea I just had. So here's my idea:As someone that is a big fan of rock –and even in pop some songs are this way– there's a lot of songs that ends with the start of the next song on the albums as someone does I usually listen to my music on shuffle. However the problem is I cannot enjoy the starter songs or interludes that get into their next songs on shuffle since the next is never the right song. So my idea would be to put songs that go together always next to each other or make like a button to make it stop if really someone doesn't went to but I don't really get how anyone would be against it. As an example, as a big fan of Pierce the Veil it is impossible for me to listen to "May these noises startle you in your sleep" because the next song is never the right one. Of course you would think "why not just listening to the album if you want them next to each other" but thing is I also want to listen to some other songs after. Anyway I hope you understand my struggle and might think about that idea. Thank you for your consideration, thank you for staying human and not out any AI in an app that is for human artists. Even to "help find the music that is kind of the same" you guys already do it you do not need ai to do it. Please stay the way you are.Bye bye !
