When I click on a song, instead of playing it deezer either just goes through many songs very quickly and never stops or it plays a random track. I have a premium account!!!

Hello ​@Lajla,

That sounds frustrating, especially since you’re paying for Premium and expect smooth playback.

Since there’s limited information on your issue, I’ll assume the following:

  • You’re on Android and running the latest OS version
  • You’re using Deezer Stable (latest version)

When Deezer skips through songs or plays random tracks instead of the one you selected, it usually points to one of a few issues:

  • Corrupted cache or app data: Old cached files can cause playback glitches. Go to your Phone Settings > Apps > Deezer > Storage and Cache > Clear Cache OR Clear Data.
    • Note: Clearing “Data” will require you to sign back in and re-download downloaded playlists.
  • Offline mode conflicts: If tracks aren’t properly downloaded, Deezer may skip them. Toggle Download Off and On again on all downloaded playlists.
  • Account/device sync issues: Sometimes Premium doesn’t register correctly across devices. Log out and back into Deezer app.
    • Note: You’ll have to re-download downloaded playlists.
  • Connection problems: A weak or unstable internet connection can cause rapid skipping. Try a different network, mobile or other Wi-Fi connection. Also ensure you’re not running under a VPN or proxy.
  • App bugs: Certain versions of the app have had playback issues. Ensure you’re running the latest version of Deezer.
  • Device Issues: The issue might only be present in your current device. Try on a different device and establish if the issue is still present.

If the issue still persists, you can write back with more details.
