How can I disable recommendations based on country (local suggestions)?

Hi @Wall Tearer yes, I do understand that you want to ignore German Rap or Schlager because I am experiencing the same with my German Deezer account. We are forwarding your feedback to our product managers and they are giving their best to give you a more and more tailored-to-your-taste music experience. 

Please bear in mind that there are many other ways to discover new music, i.e. Flow, Discovery playlist, recommended releases, artist mix of your favourite artists, track mix of your favourite tracks etc. There are many ways to find treasures 

I am new user of Deezer, and this is the only annoying feature that bothers me a lot!

I am getting recommended lists only from my country.

For example, I want to see the most popular list (by number of fans) - worldwide.

The only reason I am using Deezer is FLAC.

Hello @Yevsh, thank you for the feedback, we’ll forward it to our teams.

Thank you for trying out Deezer 

Sad to see that nothing has changed 2 years later after the OP remark regarding playlist suggestions based on your geolocalisation…

Why is it so hard for Deezer to let us choose playlist suggestions for whatever kind of music style based on the country that we want instead of the one where we live?

Looks like this issue is still there. I just started using the app and, even if I have a lot of artist liked, I’m still getting mainstream garbage thrown at me every time a song finishes. 

Hey @SPK please check the following article and give it a try: https://support.deezer.com/hc/en-gb/articles/360012847878-Changing-your-country-recommendations-on-Deezer
Let me know if that works for you 
Thanks 

The problem is real.

I’ve tried all streaming apps and Deezer is in the middle when it comes to recommendations.

The main problem with Deezer, is that their algorithm just isn’t working right. You get trackmix opened when cooking salty fish and spaghetti, and you need to run in same second to change the trackmix as it may not play music related to it and start with charts. When you find good trackmix, they play in a loop same mauybe 25-30 tracks so you have music only for an hour, sometimes twice as much.

Weakest point is main page. When they do have 1-2 rows personalised with daily and lately played.

It’s not enough.
I use now different app and I do like their way. Obviously can not post screenshots.

It may be considered recommending them etc.

However what they do, they have constantly personal rows all over the main page.

It keeps me basically living in the app.

When I come back to deezer, I don’t have the same interactions as they don’t have tools for it.

As you said, we don’t need charts, when there’s ton of our data what we consume and how we want to be consumed. Personally I don’t want to pay a dime with attention to charts, we have radio.

I hope it can be changed.

I do not want to listen location based music!  I click hundreds of local artists to “do not recommend list”  and still your alco do not get the hint. I do not want to change to other location, because I have no idea which location has same music taste that I have. FLAC and yearly plan would have been reason to be here, but your recommendations are useless and the other has now good recommendations .

You can do that with our country selector!

I understand your frustration with Deezer's music suggestions not aligning with your taste and being impacted by your geographical location. While I can't provide real-time support or fix the issue directly, I can offer some suggestions that might help improve your music experience on Deezer:

1. Create Custom Playlists: Consider creating your own playlists based on your preferred music style and add tracks that you enjoy. This way, you can listen to music tailored to your taste without relying solely on Deezer's algorithm.

2. Use Deezer's "Flow" Feature: Deezer has a feature called "Flow," which is a personalized playlist based on your listening history. By using this feature regularly, you may get better music recommendations aligned with your preferences.

3. Like and Dislike Tracks: Whenever you listen to music on Deezer, use the "Like" and "Dislike" buttons to signal your preferences. This will help Deezer's algorithm learn your taste and adjust future suggestions accordingly.

4. Explore User-Curated Playlists: Browse through playlists created by other users who share similar music tastes. You can often find great music recommendations this way.

5. Contact Deezer Support: Reach out to Deezer's customer support and explain the issue you are facing with the music suggestions. They might be able to offer some solutions or insights.

6. Check for Proximity Settings: Sometimes, music services may use your device's GPS or IP address to determine your location. Make sure your device's location settings are accurate and not conflicting with your desired location.

7. Consider Creating a New Account: If the issue is indeed tied to your credit card's billing address, you might consider creating a new Deezer account with a different payment method that aligns with your preferred location.

8. Try Deezer Premium: Deezer Premium offers enhanced features, including the ability to skip tracks, listen offline, and have better control over your listening experience. Upgrading to a premium account might offer you more personalized options.

Remember that music preferences are subjective, and while music services like Deezer strive to provide personalized recommendations, they may not always be perfect. Exploring multiple platforms and services might be necessary to find the one that suits your preferences best.
