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

    Hey @gdr

    Please check Rafael.'s tip on how to improver your Flow for the time being.

    Xmas songs are generally barred in the time period you mentioned. But some songs are not correctly labelled 'xmas' and slip through the net. If you do find them, please let me know (copy links, please)

    @Rudi - My music list is pretty extensive as to Rafael's tips but the repetition remains and some of my favourite tracks repeat very often others I haven't heard in a long time. That's why I'd love to adjust the frequency of repeats as a fix but not sure if that is feasible. Flow could be great if this was fixed.

    For the xmas it's an ABC Christmas album "ABC For Kids Christmas - Various Artists" which may not be big globally (!) - https://www.deezer.com/en/album/14831821

    Gotcha! Well, I've passed your feedback on. But also leave a comment here and complete the survey ;)
    I've also informed the devs about the ABC Christmas Album too. Hopefully it'll be removed from your Flow soon.

    any update in the algorithm? Would be great to be able to limit / adjust the frequency of repeated songs in flow - some of my favourite tracks would be played on flow 4-6 times a week others I haven't heard in months.….

      Thank you for your input again @gdr
      We're discussing this and other popular ideas with our product managers and devs. Hopefully we can bring you more updates after that 🙂

        any update on this algorithm for flow - seemed to be better but has again in recent days got it’s old groove back playing the same dozen or two songs from my liked list of 600+ favourite tracks.  Surely it’s not that hard and this blog is a year old now….. pretty please

          Hey @gdr 

          Thank you for your patience. Have you tried your Discovery weekly Flow card? By liking more songs in there, you'll be telling the algo you want more discovery in your Flow, for example.

              Can we request that flow be coded to improve the songs it plays to change the frequency? The lack of diversity in the songs it plays is frustrating even though it plays songs I like it plays them too often


              A year on and Flow is just the same; I can’t listed to the same three Joni Mitchell tracks every day! Surely it wouldn’t be too hard to randomize the top 20 or 30 tracks of each artist (depending on their career output). I use shuffle instead but even that isn’t very random and it can’t be access via Alexa on Echo devices. I think Deezer really needs to up its game here.
