Queue

Question

Spotify transfer here - the Queue does not work in the way I expect. If I hit “add to queue” I want that song to play right after the one I’m currently listening to. Deezer adds it to the end of the playlist that I am listening to, which could be up to a hundred or so songs. This feature is especially annoying when I am driving and don’t have time to manually move it up in the queue. I am aware of the “Listen next feature” but adding multiple in a row to that reverses the order I want to hear them in ( the order I add them). The Add to Queue feature seems useless. Is there any way around this? Am I using it the wrong way? I’ve seen a lot of people with this problem but no concrete solution from Deezer.

Between this and having to manually add my favorites playlist because the sync added everything in reverse I am considering switching back until these issues are fixed. :/

​@aabrbtyI use “play next,” but as you mentioned, any new addition to “play next” supersedes the previous one.If I need further changes, Itap the queuemenu from the now playing screen and easily slide tracks around.Every service works differently, sometimes in small ways. You obviously left Spotify for a reason, so I suppose you're now faced with either adjusting to queuemanagement with deezer, or going back and dealing with the reasons you left Spotify. Either way, thanks for giving deezer a try, I hope it works out for you, but if not, best wishes.

This isn’t “different”, it’s objectively worse!

“Play next” being overwritten by every new addition makes the feature basically unusable for the exact scenario people need it for (especially while driving): quickly queueing multiple tracks in the order you choose. A simple swipe/queue action should behave logically:

The first song I add should play right after the current track.
The next song I add should go right after that, not jump ahead of it and reverse the order.

That’s how it works in Spotify, and it’s not some “preference” or “small difference” it’s objectively better in every situation where you’re adding more than one track. Deezer’s current behavior forces extra steps (open queue, manually reorder) just to get back to what should happen automatically. No one wants to add songs, have them end up in the wrong order, and then spend time fixing the queue.

Saying “every service works differently” doesn’t change the fact that this design is worse. It creates unnecessary friction and makes basic queue management unreliable. Spotify wins here every time, because the queue behaves in a way that actually matches how people listen alone or with friends.

Until Deezer fixes the queue logic (and the reverse-order sync issue), switching back is the only rational option for many users.
