Have the option to disable Track Mix

On desktop if I do search and get a list of tracks, that becomes the queue of what will play. Makes sense, and I have automated recommendations turned off so I don’t get anything else.

The iPhone app has decided that search results represent a “track mix” and so then goes and plays other things that weren’t in the search result. There is no “queue”, instead I get just a history of what’s playing.

I CANNOT EMPHASISE ENOUGH how much I do not want this behaviour. One of the key drivers of getting a paid subscription was so that I could have full and absolute control of what played on the app. If you take that away from me because you think that your algorithm’s decisions about what to play are so f**king important that they should override my personal choices, then I’m not sure why I’m bothering to pay. I could get random shuffling for free.

When I want Flow or some kind of mix, I will choose it. Don’t create one because I pressed Search. SEARCH MEANS I’M SELECTING.

Maaaan I hate the way this is implemented. I want to play “Cocaine” by “J.J. Cale”. How does it then make any sense at all to just play the next search result, “Black Cocaine” by “Spec X”? If you don’t want to give users a surprise at least just play the one song.

Likewise, if I chose to play “Cocaine” by “Eric Clapton”, I’d get the pleasure of hearing the exact same song twice. :face_palm: Why? Do people actually use these things before they implement them?

Thanks for reporting this feedback @teqteq, I also picked up your previous replies and amended this thread to an idea.

It seems that we need more work done on this one :v_tone2:

A year has passed, nothing has changed. How do I turn off these damn mixes?

I do not understand when this feature can be turned off on the desktop version why it does not work on mobile?

Crazy about music

It seems you’ll wait like forever.

I did what other poster before you mentioned and I no more hear more unless I want.

I dislike auto play because you planned to hear one album, and you end up listen to music hours.

Is there ANY way of deactivating this`horrible mix ANYWHERE? I find absolutelly NO settings for just ANYTHING except playing quality in DEEZER. Trully! Not on Android, not on Windows app, not on Website. WTH? And the “Mix” is just the WORSE because is absolutelly unrelated to whatever I am playing.

Recently I created a new related idea which was already set to “Not for now” by Deezer staff, so I guess they really love this new feature:

You can still vote for it though, and I also described a workaround there at least for searched tracks that you want to play as found and not a random mix of them.
