When I'm jus t listening to music I like to scroll through songs I like and queue them up to play. 

I can't work out how I do this, what am I missing?

 

I'm using the Android version (v6.2.30.88)

Attention: ‘Play next’ oder ‘add to queue’ do not work with mixes (artist or genre).

It also doesn't work with flow and dynamic lists (e.g. Sunday chill, daily, My top month).

This is not a bug, it is by design. :smirk:

I really hope they add this feature ASAP! It was one of the best features of the UX on Spotify and I’ve recently migrated over from that service. I HATE to support Spotify, but if the queue isn’t added to Deezer in the next 3 months I’ll have to go back to Spotify. I feel like I’ve gone back to 2013 for crying out loud…

Agreed looking to switch from Spotify and a lack of a add to queue feature is a sticking point to get the missus onboard.

They are hot mess and can't handle their own code, it's not “by design” :’D

I’ve been evaluating Deezer and competitors as a possible Spotify replacement as well, and just wanted to chime in with the feedback that the inability to “Play Next” during flow and mixes is the main reason that Deezer is going to lose out to other options in my case. Being able to “take requests” and select the next song during an extended listening session at home is a really valuable feature that, for instance, both Spotify and Tidal have. Tough to give that up.

This is such stupid design. Stop trying to predict what users wants to hear but give them control at any time. Flow is great but allow users to add/edit without stopping the experience.

 

Tell your product manager it’s not a bad thing to get inspiration for features from Spotify and Tidal. Don’t try to reinvent the wheel.

Thanks for your honest feedback @why123321. I’ll pass it to our devs. :nerd:

Hey @Jaime. , I agree with what have been said here. 
While using Deezer on desktop app, if I search for a specific song and play it, it automatically set the “mix” mode on, therefore I can’t search for another song to add it to the queue. 
This is very annoying when using Deezer with friends that want to add their favorite songs to the queue. 
I can’t disable the mix mode auto setting up when searching a song. 
Thanks

“Add to queue”  works for me, but not when I’m casting to Chromecast!  It’s still annoying because I can’t use it to play music for friends which is the only time I would want to queue.

New Deezer user here.

I use the it in Android and iPad.
In iPad it always  allows me to add songs to the queue, by the “Play next” and “Add to queue” context menus.
For the exact same queue in Android, these “Play next” and “Add to queue” do not exist.

What’s the reasoning behind this decision?
What are the benefits of limiting the user possibilities, once you already have that feature developed and working?

I usually like to discover new artists by using Flow or listening to playlists.
While listening, if I like some artist, I check their discography and I like to include other songs or a full album to the queue.
This makes the finding of new artists or albums an enriched and pleasant experience, because you are not limited exclusively to the suggestions, you include your own preferences in between.  

Currently, while using Android, I avoid Flow.
And I don’t play directly playlists because I’m afraid it will block these features.
What I do is adding the songs of the playlists to the queue instead.

But if I listen to that same queue in iPad, when I’m back in Android, the “Play next” and “Add to queue” get lost again.
I have to confess it’s getting a bit annoying and even frustrating…

By the way, I found in this forum and in reddit multiple complains related to this topic.
Is this normal? Or it’s a sign that Deezer do not really care about the users feedback?

So I noticed an earlier post where Deezer support said  queue and play next was not developed YET for casting.  Can Deezer say when this will be done?
