Total mess in classical albums

 

Hi ​@Endorphinity !

There is an option to transfer the albums to a playlist that you have created yourself and then arrange the songs in the order you want.

 

 

You can organize the songs by TRACK, ARTIST, ALBUM, ADDED, TIME, POP or you can simply move them up and down to the position you want

Hi Nina,
thank you for taking time to respond. Of course, I always can do what you kindly advise, but I just hoped to bring to Deezer’s staff attention issues with these particular collections, because there are similar classical albums, but perfectly ordered, which makes me think that someone just carelessly did their job. There is no appropriate option in the app’s UI to provide a feedback on this kind of problems.

I understand your intention ​@Endorphinity !

I looked at that same album on Spotify and noticed that the order of the songs is the same as on Deezer.
The songs have long names, so it's hard for me to compare, but I think the order is the same (or am I mistaken !?)

It's a compilation album, so maybe that's why the order of the songs is like that. Who decides the order of the songs on a compilation, I really don't know!?

Interesting, as I’ve googled and for me Spotify displays another album with that same name, but with a different art and perfectly ordered.

As for long names, it is easy to see that all successive parts of same sonata or concert which should be following each other and not scattered around playlist are not.

All in all, those who do these compilations of classical works, should at least understand what they are doing before publishing them.

Hi ​@Endorphinity! Thanks for bringing this up!

As ​@Nina Nebo mentioned before, the other streaming platforms show the same track order as Deezer because that’s how the album is delivered to us.

Unfortunately, we don’t have control over how the tracks are ordered when it comes from the label or distributor.

But, if you find another version of the album with the correct order, feel free to share it with us, and we can ask the team to resend it with the proper track list.

Also, just noticed the last screenshot you shared is from a different album.

Let me know if you need anything else!

Are there any ways of providing feedback to distributors then? Look at this screenshot, it is a part of playlist at https://deezer.page.link/CosxheK5JDBosHu99

Mozart’s symphony #40 part I is split to 10 fragments with pauses between them, while part II is split to 17 (!) fragments. Whoever put this together, has no idea of classical music at all. If that is just an algorithm that seeks for pauses and splits the track when signal level is low, it is plain wrong.

You can ask your distributor, correct? You’re their customer.

I appreciate your replies, but I think you will need to work harder than saying. “Unfortunately, we don’t have control over how the tracks are ordered when it comes from the label or distributor.”

I hope you a least ask them. Heck streaming is how most music is distributed these days, the distributor will want know if there is a problem. Help them, help us, if you please

I agree. Classical music must be played in a particular order. This is the way the composer intended the symphony, concerto or even a whole opera to be heard! Shuffling this amounts to the same as playing the last episode of a season in a tv series before the first.

Look at distributors of classical music like Deutsche Gramophone or concert streaming services like Berlin or New York Philharmonic to get this right!
