Introducing Flow Tuner - Your Music, Your Rules

Thank you Jaime.

The curated playlists are great, especially Post-Punk 2.0 (I know all the classics by heart, I want to listen to new artists).

It's a shame there's no post-punk flow option anymore, though. It was great for discovering both new releases and hidden gems from the classic era.

It's interesting because there are objectively much less popular genres available to be added to my flow.

I can see, that most people seem to like the new Flow features. I find it absolutely horrible. Worst update since I joined Deezer community more than 10 years ago. It’s even worse than the Redesign…

Because I have an extremely versatile taste in music, covering a wide range of genres—but with very specific artists and bands within those genres—the new FLOW completely ruins my listening experience. It has effectively removed the ability to enjoy an endless playlist that balances my favourites with new discoveries.

Over the past few days since the update, even after manually tuning all my preferred genres, I’ve mostly been getting new recommendations—many of which are simply not good—and only a handful of my favourite tracks. Worse still, those favourites repeat the same 10 songs over and over.

This is incredibly frustrating. If there isn’t a fix for this soon, I’ll seriously consider saying goodbye to Deezer altogether.

Flow always used to be the USP of Deezer and I always had been impressed on how well it worked. But now it’s gone and I am not a fan of the new version.

It’s your choice, but I’m wondering where you would go?

For my part, this is the first time I’ve tried using Flow, and it seems to work well at first listen. It made a great background work-day list of tunes that there were only a few oddballs in it that were easy enough to shrug off. It mixed in many of my favorites while incorporating songs that I thought fit in well with the genres I selected. For an algorithmic driven auto-playlist generator that isn’t coated in a disgusting layer of ai slop hype, I think it’s pretty good.

Even if it’s not perfect, I’d rather stick with a company like Deezer that’s at least trying to keep the tsunami of ai slop segregated, rather than any of the other mainstream music services that apparently have no moral qualm about shamelessly shoveling fake music into your feeds.

INCREDIBLE!!!

The Deezer development team really outdid themselves. Flow was already the best, surpassing all other platforms, and now they've raised the bar even higher for everyone else.

 

Is this available in the Desktop version and if so how do I use it on the desktop? Automated paly lists wander everywhere driving me crazy!

Amazing! But could we make it work with playlists aswell? Teach a flow mood which which of mine playlists corresponds with a mood.

so it knows what ”chill” or ”happy” is for me.
