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.

The greatest selling point of apps like Deezer is to be able to discover new music based on your previous listening history. The recommendation algorithm is supposed to work based on your "taste", not your "location".
It's annoying to have your Flow affected by your location. Just because I'm using the app in a country I'm currently working in, it doesn't mean I'm interested in their hits, charts and songs. I might not even speak the given language, some of your users are traveling expats.
Please give users a way to circumvent this issue with an option like:
1- Ability to disable location based suggestions
2- Ability to change user "location" in preferences manually. (like Youtube)

It would be great if users could choose whether they want to see recommendations based on the country they live in or not. I am an expat in the middle east and my deezer homepage is filled with middle eastern music which I have no interest in. It is a nice addition, but considering the number of expats here, I am sure I am not the only one who would like the OPTION to change my recommendations based on what is popular globally as opposed to regionally.
Flow now plays music from the country I live in. It didn't before, don't know what happened. I really can't stand it, horrible & stupid lyrics. Anyway, I would really like to exclude them from Flow, as it just turned useless for me.
A feature which excludes music from selected countries would be awesome.
Thank you!

Hi there.
Is there a way to disable Deezer automatically curating music based on my location. For example, in South Africa, we have a wide cultural divide. It is pretty irritating to see a whole bunch of music which is completely unsuited to the taste of someone who identifies more with mainstream, international music trends, as opposed to locally produced music, which is meant for a completely different audience.
Thanks

Please give users an option to disable location based suggestions, it is really annoying I get suggestions based on country where I am using the app, what if I dont like any of the songs? I don't like any of the songs but you keep suggesting them, why?Please give us an option.
i don’t want that too. Should be personalized on my preferences
Absolutely! They shouldn't tie your registration country to the region from which you'd like to receive music recommendations (and the music catalogue as well). Bugs me too every time.
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:
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
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 am super annoyed with Deezer's feature of using IP/location as a way to determine the kind music your user would prefer.
First of all, people use VPN a lot.
Second of all, they travel. Some of us travel a lot.
Why do we have to wait for a month after i just paid to get rid of music suggestions that I was never interested in?
I suggest to add an option to customize menu on the Home Page.
So people could choose what to see on their homepage grid first.
P.S.: People have pattern-based preferences in everything, and music is the first one to be barely related to the location. Because there's Internet, TV, Radio.
Honestly, I didn't care for the first 3 months, but I keep seeing suggestions from countries I've visited like 3 months ago and I didn't listen to ANY of those songs ONCE.
WHY DOES DEEZER KEEP SUGGESTING IT?

Hello Team,
Did you heared russian music? This is real trash can! Whole my life I listening only UK and USA music and some electronic bands from Europe but never russian artists. Yes I’m from Russia.
I need to change region for USA or UK and listen only this music but I don’t want to change my payment method to another country.
What can i do for this? How can i do this?

Hi there 🙂 You can't disable it, but there's a workaround. First of all, the recommendations and the Flow are based on your favourites, favourite artists etc. If you still see country charts in your recommendations, I assume you don't have enough tracks, artists for Deezer to pick from and recommend the right music 🙂 So if you add more tracks and artists and also dislike tracks that don't suit your tast, Deezer will learn fast :)
If you like charts from other countries, I suggest you check our out "country Charts" channel 🙂

Hi Anja, thanks for replying.
I have thousands of tracks, artists and albums flagged as favorites in a very specific style so I don't think my account lacks this information. Maybe it’s a bug or a momentary problem, Anyway, it's quite annoying when it happens. I keep clicking the "x" when I dislike something that is playing but sometimes a group of
5 or 6 songs keeps playing in a loop no matter how many times I click on the "x" for those songs.
Hope this can be fixed...
Thanks!

Hi there, thanks for the suggestion and sorry for the late reply.
The songs you can play are always related to the country where you activate your subscription. We are happy to forward this although it is unlikely to be implemented as we have different rights in different countries and would be difficult for legal reasons.

I live in Dubai but i don't listen to Arabic music. All the recommendations on the home page are Arabic and particularly Gulf Arabic music, which I never searched for or listened to. I get the copyright issues, but that should have nothing to do with the recommendations you provide users with. Honestly, Spotify do a much better job at that, you guys should seriously consider tweaking your AI and promoting tracks and artists the users care about. Not where they live!
Hello.
As far as I see, all the suggested playlists depend on the geolocation, therefore most of all I see russian artists as I'm based in Russia.
Is it possible to add an option to chose the country with it's favourite/suggested playlists?

Hi there @foxxmark
Let's put your comment here because the idea is linked to this. We just need to see more users voting for it!

I don't mind, bro
We need more customization and the ability to choose or exclude music from region or languages !
There is absolutely 0 possibility of customization in Deezer that's really bad...

Hi, I've registered Deezer Family since 2017.
I'm living in Saudi Arabia, yet I don't want to get recommendations of Arabic music on FLOW, Playlists, lists names now in Arabic!! . It's like spamming!!
Just add an option to (not to recommend songs based on region) please, and you can still keep songs copyrighs based on region.
If I want Arabic music I would've subscribed to a local platform, and I don't want to keep skipping Arabic songs from recommendations while working!!
Thank you.
This is important! I live in /non-english/ language country and it seems like that we don't have different genres. Throwing all songs of the same language in the same basket ... And I like 5, maybe 10 % of them. @tekkie solution would be great!
I hate local songs. Always dislike them when i listen to them.
It shouldn't be hard to implement option to disable suggestions based on location!
I see there are lots of really great suggestions and ideas on this forum, but nothing was implemented.
What are your devs doing all day at their work places? Moving buttons on the design from left to right or playing with NERF guns?

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?
