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:

Your other option here is to use a different service that has the feature, ie: Tidal.

No, we are on a Family subscription and that makes it really difficult to switch. If it was easy, I would be long gone.

I was the same. Tidal has a family subscription too. Though switching was a pain.

Ahhhh this isn’t good. Love the hifi, I’m investing in a Dac and adding it to my hifi system.  But if I cannot “DJ” my Playlist without having to hover over my phone every time a song ends , I won’t be renewing my so called “premium” subscription. 
Try listening to your users (Deezer) S.M.H.

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.

I’m disappointed that a basic feature like this is missing from the app. For YEARS. I came for the higher quality music recently, but lacking basic functionality like this is a dealbreaker, and I’m surprised I had to find out about it like this with a years old thread. I hope your plans change soon, as this issue has in the past, and will in the future, drive away your customers and screw up your user retention. Especially now that Tidal has updated their pricing model. I wonder if Tidal has the ability to select a song to be played next in the queue. Maybe I should check.

I can tell you @manioo8, Tidal does have this feature, I moved to Tidal a while ago when it became apparent the Deezer wasn't going to add such a basic feature;  rather they are focused on bigger headline grabbing features.

This is really disappointing. I’m doing my free trial right now and was hoping to switch to Deezer from Spotify. Moved all my playlists over and everything. But this is a dealbreaker for me. I can’t believe with this many users telling you they want this incredibly basic feature that there are “no plans” to do this when it’s available in so many other places.
Unfortunate. It was nice while it lasted. Gonna cancel that free trial before it charges me, and I guess just stick to Spotify for now :(

Same goes for this issue from 2018: 

I’m looking forward to the launch of I've removed the link because it goes against our policy.

Just chiming in with everyone to say that I am flabbergasted for this UX decision (ie. issue) not at least having an ‘advanced’ option buried in some settings.

Like many others, I’ve been gradually rebuilding my Spotify collection to Deezer, but alas, one must continue to search for the meaning of life. I’m a subscriber too incase anyone else reading is considering lack of feature parity (ie. free vs premium) amongst this +2yr thread.

Hello @Xander 

Thank you for your feedback, we hope that we can add this feature to Deezer very soon  :nerd:

Ok, thanks, but it's been 2 years since you said it and the feature is still missing. Really annoying, kinda deal breaker must I (also) say…

 

Any news by now?

I don't mean to be rude, but it's clear somehow you've been unable to add this simple and desired change. I just can't figure out why. Is the codebase such a mess that it has been designed such a way it's made this change unlikely to be implemented in a simple way (from you, developers, POV)?

Maybe it's time to tell us the true reason why you likely won't ever add this feature, instead of occasionally answer "Well, thank you, we'll add it as soon as we can"?

 

Again, I really don't mean to be rude, I'm just a user, and a client, who asks why its most wanted feature misses, and why he's even writing a response on a topic that was opened three years ago…

 

Thx,

this is the worst design decision and i have no idea why deezer are being so obstinate about it

searching for a song and playing it from the search results starts “MIXES” mode which then automatically disables some of the features you’d be most likely to use next!

here is my (stupid and annoying!) workaround:

  • create an empty playlist with nothing but john cage’s 4’33 (a completely silent song) in it
  • when you want to listen to music, start this playlist
  • then you can search, and add the first song you want to play to the queue
  • now, skip 4’33 to begin the first actual song
  • you will now be playing your song without being in “MIXES” mode (thank goodness)
  • now you can search for your second song and add that to the queue, and so on

really frustrating that i have to do all this nonsense just to choose what songs i want to listen to and in what order.

i assume deezer must be getting paid somehow by labels for doing the MIXES stuff or they wouldn’t persist with this
