Hi @Ganon, like I mention before we don’t have plans to add this feature in near future.
So the best is to keep collecting feedback from our users to understand which are the most wanted features to develop like the Flow Genres that we have just realased.

Hi @Hairless Ape can you let me know if this happening while Casting? If that if the case, we have not developed the feature yet.
Thanks 
 

Its been a year. It cant be that hard to add. I've loved using yalls app transitioning from spotify but this is kind of a deal breaker

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)

It is simple to access and manage your Play Queue on Deezer

1. Go to Deezer from your home screen and log into your premium account.

2. Tap the three dots icon next to the song.

3. Select Add to queue pr Listen Next and it will be immediately added to your current queue.

Maybe this post can give you a clear picture about Deezer queue. And you can add songs to queue, clear queue, and change the order on the queue.

Hi @Mitch K, you can always turn your information into an idea here in the Community.


Can you elaborate on the reason why you would not want to add a feature?
It does not change much, it just add a possibility for users.

 

What is the idea behind it?

Why?   You can't be driving customers away with this simple request??  Can you??   My god all I want to do is add a song at any given time of the day when listening to your app.......I don't get it......

 Hello @Arsène.Baert @Hairless Ape 

Indeed like @dee_dirk mentioned sometime ago this is something that is not yet on our plans to change:

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 don’t understand I have been using deezer for years but it is becoming so annoying that I am thinking about changing to spotify.

While we party with friends, we need to use a Spotify phone because we like to launch an automatic mix and add music during partying.

Pleeease add it!!!

I can't believe this hasn't been built yet. 

I've got another (obvious) user case... 

 

Deezer gives me notifications that songs have been released. 

I look at the first, and start playing it. 

I then move to the second and don't have the ability to say 'play that next'.

 

I mean this isn't rocket science!

Repeated “play next” will add things in the middle of a sequence of songs which is a queue, such as your liked songs.  However, be careful, since changing the shuffled status of your playback will destroy the explicit information about your queue because there’s no separation between “queue of explicitly enqueued songs” and “queue of current collection’s playback.”

Yeah this thread has me looking at other services. It's a big feature that's been asked about for years at this point and ‘by design' is just lazy.

 

Onto the next service.

Unfortunately, in my experience, “soon” from Deezer means “never”.

Looking into other services as replacement. I would love feedback on experience with others, especially that work well with Alexa and do not have boycotting artists like Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, India Arie, Nils Lofgren, CSN, etc. (i.e. not spotify).

I switched to Deezer because of the audiobook app (which is really awesome) but to not properly queue songs for friends is a nightmare.. 

so might be back to Spotify and their shitty audiobook handling 😩

I’m currently on the free trial as I thought I’d give deezer e try.

But, it’s sh** like this and other annoyances that should be part of basic functionality that will influence my decision to not extend my subscription!

Nice going “doozer”,

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?

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? 


“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.

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

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.

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.

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


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