Hello, I live outside of my home country and don't enjoy at all locals taste for music / local music / trends and the local music charts. Is there a way to configure Deezer to show / suggest and play only music of my taste, music inside the style already flagged by me?
I was listening a very immersive album and usually Deezer keeps on with the same style after the last track, but not this time (and some others). Some local terrible music started playing and completely ruined all that experience.
I had already tried to use foreign proxies / VPNs but my account seems to be glued to my geographical location, maybe coz my credit card billing address. Can this be fixed / changed? I'm almost giving up with Deezer and trying some alternatives. I already pay for Pandora that works fine but doesn't let me listen to an entire album like Deezer does.
I really appreciate your help.

you can change your country in account settings. This will change your “music” page . you need to close and reopen the app/website to see the effect

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.
