It started only recently. But when i want to choose specific song sometimes it happens, that completely random song starts to play, insted of the one that i picked. And after i press on the song that i wanted to play again it's okay.

Hello @Bogdan Chadkin it sounds like you are simply logged into the wrong Deezer account - a Deezer Free account. Please log out and then log in with your Deezer PREMIUM email address and password. 

Then you can play the songs you want to play :slight_smile:

Please let us know if you need any further help.

I had same issue, but with lists.  After a while I saw there is a way to turn off random, however when I go to another list it gets back to random by default. Annoying.

 

Suggestion: Put the random selection button near the play button while in list view, as for now I have to change screen to remove the random and then back to list view to confirm it is off.

If I play a specific album it seems OK, so far I see this behavior only with lists.

Thank you, you don’t know, it is really frustrating. I had not problem at the beginning, even though I have my independent account but being part of the family plan. But suddenly one day it stopped working, so I deleted the app, but my friend has paid all these months for the family plan just for him and me, so I’d like to fix the problem so I can come back and use it. I really hope you can help, thanks so much for replying. @Jaime.

Hey @julio_rosu I have asked again and our devs mentioned that it is still under investigation but there is not an immediate fix right now and will take more time.
Apologies for the inconvenience
