The song that impacted you the most -THE THREAD 🔉
advice from Bose fyi, hopefully they hit this date or better this time "Bose is aware of a technical issue affecting Deezer and Radioplayer music services for the SoundTouch line of products. We are working as quickly as we can to develop a firmware update to address the issue and anticipate having the solution ready by October 15, 2021.We understand this issue impacts we sincerely apologize for this inconvenience. We appreciate your patience and understanding while we work quickly to deliver a resolution.
I agree that the Flow algorithm needs work and that it has needed work for 2+ years. I've followed this chat over that period as has been suggested and aside from promises it is being worked on nothing appears to happen, similar to another chat I have been monitoring with similarly ineffective resolution. I still believe that this should be easy to fix - if the algorithm can learn your favourites and indeed exclude tracks why on earth can't it select more tracks more randomly rather than repeating the same small percentage of my favourite tracks and ignoring the others?
The Flow algorithm still needs work - with the my 2020 lists and stats recently presented (which is great) it shows that my ‘favourite’ track has been played 180 odd times this year so every second day. I like the song but not that much and there are several similar. I have over 600 tracks in favourites yet Flow doesn’t play them all regularly or anything close to that, if the full stats were available I’d guarantee some of my favourites are <5 plays through Flow in 12 months, some 180+ so there’s no real logic present. I still think given Deezer clearly counts the number of times it plays a track it can’t be that hard to make it play each track less regularly or smooth the difference between most and lest played favourites? You can dislike a song so it doesn’t play it again, why can’t you ‘it’s ok’ a track to play it occasionally or something but not daily or worse. Or make it so over a month all tracks in favourites are played equally give or take 20% say? This request is man
time for an update on this issue - Flow still has it’s favourite songs which are sometimes based on my favourites but often not….. the algorithm just needs a counter added or timestamp so it knows what it has played recently and chooses from some of the other hundreds of songs I like, or hundreds of songs like that but not always the same tens of songs
@Rudi Not available in the Bose soundtouch where I play 90% of my music
any update on this algorithm for flow - seemed to be better but has again in recent days got it’s old groove back playing the same dozen or two songs from my liked list of 600+ favourite tracks. Surely it’s not that hard and this blog is a year old now….. pretty please
any update in the algorithm? Would be great to be able to limit / adjust the frequency of repeated songs in flow - some of my favourite tracks would be played on flow 4-6 times a week others I haven't heard in months.….
[user=111813]Rudi[/user] - My music list is pretty extensive as to Rafael's tips but the repetition remains and some of my favourite tracks repeat very often others I haven't heard in a long time. That's why I'd love to adjust the frequency of repeats as a fix but not sure if that is feasible. Flow could be great if this was fixed. For the xmas it's an ABC Christmas album "ABC For Kids Christmas - Various Artists" which may not be big globally (!) - https://www.deezer.com/en/album/14831821
Flow keeps repeating the same songs - the monthly stats show that. Any update on the algoritm? The other item that would be ideal in January Flow starts playing Christmas carols - sure we play them for the kids a lot in Dec and xmas but if they could be barred in Jan-October would be cool, if possible....
surely it's easy enough to add this in though, you can remove a song from flow so all I'm thinking is to limit the recurrence to perhaps a few set intervals - eg don't play for 3 days, a week, a month, 6 months (say) or whatever. Flow is generally really good but this issue is annoying and from the posts on this I'm not alone in the view. Anyway forward it on yes please [user=202]Flo.Deezer[/user]
Any update on this Flow algorithm please to reduce the recurrence of the same songs? It's very frustrating in an otherwise very good app
Can we request that flow be coded to improve the songs it plays to change the frequency? The lack of diversity in the songs it plays is frustrating even though it plays songs I like it plays them too often
Is there any way to create some settings in flow on the frequency that tracks get played? I have some 500 favourite tracks yet Flow seems to play some very regularly and others seldom. It also then plays similar songs more often than ideal. If there was a way say to have Flow not repeat a song more than once in every X days or after Y songs. For example if it plays Smells like teen spirit (which is a great song) then it can't play it again until it has played 200 other tracks or some number that can be set? or can't play it again until 10 days have elapsed..... That would to me be a great feature and way to get new and varied music from my favourites as sometimes it does frustrate.....
