Is it normal to have several tracks repeated way too frequently when you are in the Flow feature?

Same. here. Deezer is very unimaginative when it comes to playing Flow tracks or recommended tracks. Coldplay, Interpol, Courtney Barnett, Acrtic Monkeys, over and over. Payoloa? Or Deezer needs some better algorithms.

I have the same issue - 300 favourite tracks but it’s always playing the same narrow selection. I play Flow via my Alexa every day so it gets pretty dull when I’m hearing the same tracks over and over (however much I like them, Deezer might actually make me hate them!); the repetition isn’t on,y on my Alexa but also on a Squeezebox and via the phone app. I find myself skipping tracks a lot.

Thanks for the feedback guys, we are constantly working on Flow and its algorithm and we know that it's not perfect yet, but always pass your feedback on and our team is looking into the user behaviour, specially with Flow. There will be changes in the future, but as of now, we can give you any details or dates. We will of course let you know once we have details we can share 🙂

You can at least make that Flow that will suggests you anything other than band's top 3 tracks

Please see here how to improve your Flow, but I will make sure we pass your feedback on to our devs too 🙂

Any update on this Flow algorithm please to reduce the recurrence of the same songs? It's very frustrating in an otherwise very good app

Hi @gdr our developers work constantly on the Flow and we are happy to forward your feedback as well. Unfortunately we do not have at this moment a specific update on this I am afraid.

surely it's easy enough to add this in though, you can remove a song from flow so all I'm thinking is to limit the recurrence to perhaps a few set intervals - eg don't play for 3 days, a week, a month, 6 months (say) or whatever. Flow is generally really good but this issue is annoying and from the posts on this I'm not alone in the view. Anyway forward it on yes please @Flo.Deezer

Flow keeps repeating the same songs - the monthly stats show that. Any update on the algoritm?

The other item that would be ideal in January Flow starts playing Christmas carols - sure we play them for the kids a lot in Dec and xmas but if they could be barred in Jan-October would be cool, if possible....
