    you can commiserate with the other folks struggling with this seemingly insurmountable obstacle here:

    and no need for profanity on the forums

    Hi ​@Konsulistan !

     

    Deezer asks you to select at least 10 favorite artists at the beginning to create a personalized music profile for you and improve your recommendations so You can't completely skip the initial artist selection .

     

    Later You can remove or add artists from your favorites by selecting the heart icon.

    why is it staying stuck in a loop here ?  I chose 10, it asks for 10 more, then 20 more, then 30 more… I’m about to quit Deezer it's so frustrating.  also I also don’t want recommendations

    As you can see above the Deezer folks are quite proud about their feature and are unwilling to listen to prospective subscribers. For me this was reason to ditch Deezer altogether and go for Qobuz (although that service has other annoying issues...).

    These employees do not care and have no shame.

    Hey everyone,

     

    I was strugling too with this non sense selection and trying to escape it to simply listen a song (what an orignal way to use a music app). I was on the train and the network was not great and luckely i have found how to avoid this step : you need a internet cut while you are on the selection, then the app says it is not working and i landed on the deezer home page. I guess its because its quite a dynamic UX so it doesnt manage lost connection at this step.  

     

    If it can help some people i'll be happy :)

     

    To Deezer, this is one the worst features i have ever seen on an app and if i did not find a skip my subscription will be already canceled. Just add a basic skip button, if you can make super mega incredible performent algorithm you can do that too no ?

     

    As i have read earlier on this forum some people from your company talk about "music consumption" and i truely believe this a wrong concept because music exist to be listen not to be consumpt, just think about it please and it may allows to understand much more people Who use your app.

     

    Bye
