The song that impacted you the most -THE THREAD 🔉
As discussed here it seems like Flow is generally “broken”. It favors the users’ favorites “maxed out”, so that one has to listen to the same songs over-and-over again with virtually no change in the playlist whatsoever. Also, it seems to ignore “I don’t like this style of music” tendencies or “don’t suggest this song” anyway. I loved Flow-like features on other services, but I don’t use Flow on Deezer any longer as it doesn’t provide me with any variety, it’s more like one of those advertisement-financed radio stations that play the same 12 songs exclusively all through the day. Enough of the rambling, since so many users are happy with their Flow experience, I assume the function is either broken for SOME or some software change recently has made it collapse on itself. Hoping for better times. I agree that it plays favorited songs way too much. Regarding new/discovery music, it also plays the same ones of those over and over. I really wish it would play way more non-favorited song
In my opinion Flow doesn’t play enough of my non-favorited tracks from my favorite artists. It does play my favorite artists, but it’s almost always from my favorite tracks. I want more of my favorite artists, but the tracks I haven’t favorited!
The new Flow mood (at least on mobile app) mostly takes care of #3 above. I don’t think #4 is that important.I still think addressing #1 and #2 in addition to the new mood function would take Flow to the next level. In my opinion it currently doesn’t play enough my non-favorited tracks from my favorite artists. It’s either playing the same favorite tracks from favorite artists, or it’s playing random new artists. I want more of my favorite artists, but the tracks I haven’t favorited.
Yeah I agree with you. I should have said that I wouldn’t care to use anything else but Flow. I suppose there’s no reason to get rid of them.
Here’s an idea:Add sliders to FLOW for customization for each use. In order of preference/most useful:What % of FLOW should be from your favorite tracks (0-100%)? What % of FLOW should be from your favorite artists (0-100%)? What % of FLOW should be from XYZ genre (0-100%)? I realize there are pre-made mixes for these sometimes, but this option would be keeping it within your favorites. Within FLOW, sometimes I want more of one genre or another. Sometimes I want to mix in some metal, sometimes not. Sometimes I want mostly relaxing music. Sometimes I want more upbeat. So I could select 100% on slider 1 above and then all metal for example. It would only play my favorite metal tracks. What % of FLOW should be new releases (0-100%)?With these sliders, I can’t think of any reason why I would ever not listen to FLOW. All of the other “daily” mixes, “playlists you’ll love”, etc. “Music” section can go away. There would be no need for any other automated mixes.
