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.

    Just signed up to Deezer and tried to play a song, i.e. ONE song. Somehow impossible with Deezer! Also, the sleep timer doesn't have 'end of track' as an option, which would be a workaround.

     

    Apple music has something similar, you can turn it off, but it turns itself back on after a while. I cancelled the free trial after 3 days. Deezer hasn't lasted 3 hours!

     

    Lossless doesn't matter if basic controls/features are missing or don't work correctly. I've never felt held back by the Spotify UI in the same way. It's not perfect but it has just enough so I don't notice.

     

    I'll try Amazon Music next, fingers crossed!

    just give me a damn button to turn off MIXES!!!!! It’s not that bloody hard considering ya’ll are in the app daily. Just want my desktop player to stop playing MIXES and the only option needed is a button to turn it off!!!

    C’mon I’ve been here for years as a customer and I don’t care about automation in the app. I just want to keep it simple and that has got to include the on/off for all all these options.

      I want this too. An option to turn off the mix and play one song.

          Deezer - do you fail to see how unpopular the “track mix” you’ve forced on your users is? If it’s not gone by June 1, 2026, I’m off in search of a music platform that hasn’t been enshittified.

          Came here to request the same thing, and very unimpressed that this issue was flagged 6 years ago and there is no attempt from staff to address this awful feature. Creating a queue of music consisting of only my own personal suggestions and friends or colleagues recommendations while having a get-together or at work should be straightforward and not result in getting a bunch of automatically selected random music thrown into it. Disable this ridiculous track mix already. It’s terrible. I’m going to try qobuz and see what that’s like instead.
