Could you at least make an error message that makes sense? It’s dreadful and then people have to go out of their way to find out what it’s about.

Add Search to 'Add to Playlist' feature on Deezer mobile appIn discussion

Actually this would be by-far the biggest stop-gap until >2000 tracks for me. The published work-around is to use playlist. OK, cool. I’m using playlists. But scrolling through 251 playlists is horrible.

Fine. I’m back. On another test run. Got sick of non-lossless, and I won’t use Tidal as long as they don’t have Junior Kimbrough (their catalogue is so patchy, no community, and support useless).

Still checking in to see how this is going :-) I can comment on this again - yay!Ive been on a journey through the lands of Spotify and Apple Music. Spotify stinks but is social (good platform, glaringly missing Flow). Apple Music is decent and seem less, has a Flow-equivalent hidden for some reason (“Hey Siri, play my station”). Quite good predictions and cycle through similar music so you not listening to Slayer one minute and Sigur Ros the next. But it’s quite sterile and no community.So I still miss Deezer and lossless and you guys. Hope this is finished soon!

Yeah the playlist folders on Spotify is absolutely great. I’m not sure about the need for folders on favourites, but for all of my playlists it’s awesome. They were so hard to use before. I think I have over 200 though so kind of weird like that (sub-genres, and various mixes).

I should add one point that was also a tipping-point regarding this 2000 track limit. The use of the “Love” button is so ingrained into the fabric of Deezer (and most streaming apps) that it becomes very hard to avoid without excessive manual maintenance of your account. It’s not as simple as saying “use another playlist” because that’s not how the app is designed. If I am driving, and in Car Mode particularly, all I can do is click “Love” on the track. It’s the only way I have to save a song, else it be lost forever in the recesses of my mind. Even where I have the opportunity to save the track to a playlist, when I come back to that song again there is no indication that I’ve ever saved the song in my library. So I’m forever re-adding songs to playlists, not knowing if I’d previously saved it (also see above, maybe I was driving and wasn’t able to save it at the time). The handling of hitting the limit is even very poor. It’s a system-ish error. At least present the user with a tidy

Sorry @Rudi . You yourself do a great job, but I’m out. After all the effort you and I (and other customers) have put in, I’m not seeing Deezer evolve in a good direction (mostly the opposite), or take responsibility for its issues, so today is my last day on Deezer (I’m not even going to wait out my current subscription period). Thankfully, as I mentioned previously, migrating away from Deezer is easy because of tools like Soundiiz, and migrating back now impossible until you fix this 2000-track limit (very much enjoying my 3,662 tracks on Spotify). I’ll check back once in a while to see if it’s been fixed, but until then, I’m done. This is the major issue, but also your developers continually fail to understand the true user-experience, as I have mentioned so many times (no I don’t want to hear every song with the name “cocaine” in it when I was only looking for the song by Eric Clapton). Hi-Fi members are second-class citizens, still even lacking their own preset and having to use t

Maaaan I hate the way this is implemented. I want to play “Cocaine” by “J.J. Cale”. How does it then make any sense at all to just play the next search result, “Black Cocaine” by “Spec X”? If you don’t want to give users a surprise at least just play the one song. Likewise, if I chose to play “Cocaine” by “Eric Clapton”, I’d get the pleasure of hearing the exact same song twice. Why? Do people actually use these things before they implement them?

  @teqteq we've done that when we doubled from 1000 to 2000. I've mentioned here before, the loading of favourites is on the users side - side note: Deezer is available on more than 180 countries. Some of these countries are known to offer lower end models of phones, and less capacity of broadband and mobile network coverage. If your developers are stuck because they’re loading all 2000 songs into the client and that’s the main issue, then they’re really doing it wrong. Lazy loading! Surely that’s not the actual issue? I can’t imagine how older phone models has any bearing on this, and if it does, again, doing it wrong. I thought it was a back-end processing issue for Flow or something actually complex?

Sorry to hear that @coentje In order to successfully transfer your favourites, you'd have to create playlists on Deezer for that volume. We know that could be inconvenient and your feedback is much appreciated. Hopefully we can sway you back in the future  Hi @Rudi - this is missing the point. People with 15K tracks don’t manually transfer their playlist song-by-song. They use a tool like Soundiiz. What you’re basically creating is a way for people to transfer out of Deezer easily, but not to be able to transfer in to Deezer. They’re the potential customers you’ll never see. And now that I think about it, transferring out is going to be a massive pain now because I’m going to have to merge my additional favourites playlists manually . Deezer is hard to love sometimes… Maybe Deezer needs to work with the likes of Soundiiz to automate migration into multiple playlists? But again, another bandaid… Month-by-month this becomes a larger and larger issue, because everyone’s favourites wil

I still wonder if a possible solution might be to store Favourites across multiple playlists in the backend, and just merge them seamlessly for the end-user (similar time above, once you hit 2000, automatically roll-off all Favourites and start with fresh, only do this seamlessly to the end-user). Because it seems Favourites are just a hidden playlist that’s presented separately? This is a duct rape solution for something that needs real change behind the scenes. I'm not criticising the suggestion, it's a good temp fix, but it shouldn't be done if actually sorting out the issue gets kicked down the road because of it.  Playlists shouldn't enter into it. If Deezer was library-oriented in a well-designed way none of this would be an issue. There's.a thread about this I'd ask everyone to read and vote for: https://en.deezercommunity.com/ideas/325 Yeah, agree to a point. But “Favourite Tracks” appears to just be a special playlist that isn’t visible in playlists, so if behind-the-sce

@Rudi I think there might have been misunderstanding of this idea. Controlling track mixes doesn’t fix this. And track mixes still don’t start with the song that’s the subject of the mix. It seems on both iOS and desktop now, if you play a track from search results, it will then play all search results in sequence, which makes no sense to me (as in this thread - https://en.deezercommunity.com/features-feedback-44/track-mix-no-thank-you-60295 ). Unfortunately the illogical non-standard approach (imo) was chosen to roll out to all platforms since then... Also, Track Mix is useless in this case because it doesn’t start with the song that’s the subject of the mix, as in this thread: https://en.deezercommunity.com/ideas/441 So this issue is still outstanding and has actually worsened imo.

It would also be good to start having parity in behavior across platforms. I don’t feel like the product managers are looking at this broadly enough. It’s bad form to have each platform-client behave differently in cases like this.

Haha   I was actually looking for an idea that was the total opposite of this. I don’t EVER want Deezer to play the search results in sequence. Often the search results contain the same song many times, and otherwise likely is a whole lot of songs I know nothing about and don’t wan to hear, just because they have the phrase I searched for in the name. I would have a strong preference for playing a search-result track to only have 2 outcomes. Either it just plays the track and nothing else (logical), or if I have “Automated recommendations” enabled it will also continue with recommendations. Take an example - “The Daily Mail”. Search for it. I want to hear “The Daily Mail” by Radiohead. Fine, I’ll take Staircase too if I have to. But I really don’t want to hear “The Man From the Daily Mail” by “The Dingle Bay Folk Group”.  NOT SAME! And the not only that, but I’m also going to get another version of this folk song from “Charlie and the Bhoys”, then 2 copies of the same song again, only
