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 !

Make updates that matterNew

You guys need to work on the platform. I canceled spotify and tried a number of apps before I landed on Deezer as the next best thing, but the more I use the platform the more I find that Spotify truly is the best music app. I canceled my Spotify subscription because I don’t want to support the people behind the company. However, I think about restarting my membership all the time due to it being the best platform. Deezer’s curated playlists are limited and not as well put together. New  music releases are harder to find. New music should be easily accesible and truly highlighted.  In the playlist function where there are suggested tracks you can’t listen to the whole song. There is only a 30 second preview. What good is that? I am not going to listen to 30 seconds of a new song and add it to my own curated playlists.  I also find that building my playlists takes longer. It’s not as simple as spotify where you could literally drag and drop a song. Alot of my playlists are created at work as I listen to music throughout the day. But since it is less than seamless on Deezer, I can’t do that without truly paying attention to creating the playlist in the platform.  The way the Explore page is organized does not make sense.  The podcasts are very limited and the way there are organized don’t make sense.  The Music Quiz? - Unsure what the thinking is behind thisI  have even considered subscribing to spotify again briefly so I can create new playlists and then use another app to transfer the playlists to Deezer. I shouldn’t have to do that. Please make some changes. I want to enjoy this platform. It’s better than Apple, Tidal, Amazon Music, ect but still so far from the best.
