Deezer Favourite Tracks Limit of 2000 too small - please increase it!Live

Well, if this thread has achieved one thing, it’s letting me know that Spotify has removed their limits entirely, triggering me to cancel my Deezer subscription and move back over to them (their old 10,000 limit was why I originally left, it counted songs on albums towards the limit while Deezer did not).I really love Deezer but you guys have always seemed fine leaving vital features missing for years at a time, while implementing plenty of changes no one really wants (for example, constant and arbitrary UI changes that don’t really achieve anything and ). While you respond a lot here in the community forums, not much makes it’s way through to development. I think both the Community Managers and Development Team get a bit too much flak, I have a feeling the issue is with higher management not allocating enough technical resource for user-driven change and I have a strong feeling very few of them use the app or listen to music much overall, given how out of touch with the user-base some

"My Music" management enhancements (library-oriented)Not for now

Hi @dreamt_bulldozer Thank you for your contribution to this topic. Could you please explain further what you mean with “have to organise their favourite music from a playlist”? Favourites can be added or removed from anywhere in the Deezer App  That is a good idea  basically when you add album of artist X you would like this artist to be automatically added to your favourite artists? And all songs of that album to be automatically added to your favourite songs? I wrote an essay of a reply to this a number of days ago but I've just come back to check on it and it's not here? I hope it didn't get removed, I've not had a notification telling me it was or anything. It was pretty critical of Deezer to be honest, but I was constructive and spoke about how I loved it too. I also went into an awful lot of detail about this issue.   Can a community mod have a look into this for me please? I'd hate to have to remember everything I put and write it all out again.   To very briefly respond to

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

I've spoken about this a lot in the “2000 song limit” thread, glad to see it mentioned separately too. This should be top priority for Deezer, it would improve the app in so many ways that most users may not even realise and even clear the hurdles in the way of the song limit which infuriates everyone. The OP explains it perfectly. t still surprises me when I remember most users have to organise their favourite music from a playlist. Personally I work by adding albums, but plenty don't show up because of the limit and it doesn't translate to artists and songs.

I’m glad people are still fighting for this one, thank you everyone.  It’s absolutely vital and it makes me feel so conflicted still using Deezer when I know its not even showing me a large chunk of albums that I have saved. Every other service has major drawbacks too, if Deezer sorted this it’d unquestionably be the best service out there, whereas at the moment I feel like it’s the best of a bad bunch and I have a frustrating love/hate relationship with it. A couple of points people have mentioned recently that I need to support and reiterate: Deezer needs to be truly library based.  All music should be saved to a user library that can be browsed by artist, album or tracks, just like any software that handles music people store on their hard drive/device storage. Simply putting favourite tracks on a playlist is a hacky workaround way of saving music that doesn’t cater for anyone who listens to a medium to large amount of music. A quick fix like extending the limit to 4000 or something

Custom tags/ratings/tag songs and then create dynamic playlistsIn discussion

Might be an idea to post these as separate threads so people can vote on them individually.    2 & 3 sound good but don’t bother me particularly. 1 is fantastic though and it would really enhance how I use Deezer.

Here’s an option that may potentially fit into your current architecture Thanks for joining in! A lot of us have been bothered by this issue for so long, the more voices we have the better. Just wanted to emphasise that this is a great idea you've posted for a quick fix (and we could really do with one), but, if the the fix needs to be a getaround of this nature, you need to change the current architecture Deezer. It might be time consuming and costly, but as it stands the current design is pretty weak/poorly structured if it runs into issues like this. It would be worth it in the long run and allow a lot more flexibility for future changes. Updating the architecture should be a major priority at Deezer HQ.I'm all for you doing this quick fix for now as it seems a great way to help users, but in the long term you need major changes. Also, my usual plea: please give consideration to those of us who work by saving albums. I think I have about 1300 in my library at the moment, but 300 of

@Rudi @Rafael. Hi there@Rob Igo  Thank you for your support. It won't be looked at soon because it is very technically challenging to increase our current limits. I know there's a streaming service which others allege can support 10000 items but that isn't accurate either. We actually have more restrictions on combinations of limits but we have an increased one since you can add 2000 playlists with 2000 tracks - desktop. The voting helps add priority to the idea once other major features, already prioritised, are completed. It's not a 'no, it's 'not for now'. Thank you for your understanding. Hi Rudi, I really appreciate your explanations and while I understand it's probably not possible I'd love to understand specifically why it's so technically challenging. Speaking one on one with a developer would be great, though I understand this probably can't happen. Because I can't do this, I'm making a few assumptions here. Please help me understand though.  Other streaming services don't "al

Haha, looks like I spoke too soon, I signed up to Spotify premium to find while they increased the limit they trashed the library system in their update. Got a refund straight away. Time to see what other streaming services are like I think...

[quote=Rob Igo]I've read today that Spotify have made changes to how your store music in "Your Library". They now allow 10k items, 1 album counts as 1 item, and 1 favourite track counts as 1 item - so a lot bigger than before (which was all the albums tracks counted towards the 10k limit). I hope Deezer are still working on this?[/quote] Looks like I'm heading back to Spotify finally then. I half like and half hate Deezer, it's a nice little app, but it's so frustrating waiting years with really basic core issues not being resolved (this, gapless playback, flow not being fit for purpose) which every music streaming service should have as standard. Couple that with the fact that you constantly seem to be adding pointless "nice to have" features and changing the UI daily (but never improving it, often making it worse), and there's not reason for me to stay. Your product managers have no sense of priority and are causing Deezer to stay lagging behind in the streaming market. You'll

[quote=Flo.Deezer]Hi everyone, we have raised the limit in the mobile apps to 2000 tracks per playlist, before you could only see 1000 in one playlist. Our developers have been working on getting all apps to the same level.[/quote] That's great that there's some progress. Does this mean I'll be able to see up to 2000 albums in my library's album list in the Android app (if that counts as a sort of playlist of albums)?

Can anyone confirm that you will definitely be increasing the number of total albums you can have saved in the android app? And if so do you know roughly when? Currently I'm a little over the limit and I'm so close to leaving Deezer because of it. I love the app and service, but a limit like this means the app is basically unusable for plenty of music lovers. Many of my favourtie albums are nowhere to be seen, and what's the point of a music app if you can't listen to your favourite albums? This sort of thing is the reason I had to leave Spotify (hitting their 10,000 track limit) and came to Deezer in the first place. 1000 albums is really not that many in the grand scheme of things, you're alienating a large portion of music fans (me included) keeping this in place. How hard can it honestly be for an app to be able to display a list of over 1000 items? Sometimes with the speed you're able to deal with issues I imagine you only have one poor lonely dev who's tasked with doing

Gapless playback between tracksLive

Just adding support for this getting added. I can remember when iTunes introduced this over 10 years ago people were saying "Finally!", so it's sad to see Deezer so far behind the times with this. Along with the library limit, this is my only other major problem with Deezer, fix these issues and I'll be incredibly happy.

Thanks for that Rob, I hadn't actually seen that page, I clicked a link of yours earlier in this thread that might have been that, but the page didn't load. Good news it's officially on the cards then, my next (and only other) issue is gapless playback.

I moved to Deezer due to Spotify's 10,000 track limit, and have loved Deezer overall so far, but I'll have to move on to another service when I hit the 1000 album limit for mobile (which I'm not far off from). It might make sense if it was a limit on how much you could download, but to limit how much you can keep registered in your library is a bit much. Please increase the limit asap, you're a great service overall that I want to keep using. I can't imagine what the technical limitations could be that would cause a need for this limit, but it's going to lose you an awful lot of customers if you don't find a way to resolve it.
