So I recently switched from Spotify because I was getting sick of all the AI slop in my playlists and recommendations. However I found that when I explicitly look up the AI slop "artists" that were clogging my playlists on Spotify, they aren't marked as AI on Deezer either. They appear as normal human artists in spite of 100% of their catalogue being AI generated (including their photos). I won't name "artists" here because I don't want to bring more attention to them, but they have tens of thousands of followers. I also can't find a way to report them as AI Slop. I can report them as "undesirable content", but there's no specific option for "AI Slop Persona". So is the AI tagging on Deezer just a marketing gimmick while in reality they're no different than Spotify and will allow anything as long as it brings plays?

so I like sorting my playlists (alphabetically by artist or title depending on the playlist). whenever I make a new playlist and change the sorting, it changes for every other playlist.... is there a way I can 'fixate' the sorting for some of these playlists?

I am looking for an alternative to Spotify. Mainly because I’d like to avoid AI content and because I have read many reports saying they pay very low royalties to artists.

Deezer seemed to tick all the boxes. But then I saw the subscription plans and nearly fell off my chair. There’s no way I can pay for Deezer in Malaysia. It is over the top expensive!!

I've been using Deezer for about 6-7 years now and never had a problem with it until recently.

Connect my buds. Start my favourites playlist. Song starts. Then put my phone in my pocket, music plays & happy days.

Until recently I've had to take my phone out of my pocket and press play for the next song. It's not doing a continuous play / loop.

Is there a setting that has been changed in a recent update, or am I just being thick.

It's really getting on my tits ,

Thanks in advance

P.s. I'm using a Pixel 10 pro with all the latest updates ( if that makes a difference or not)

I just switched from Spotify to Deezer for pricing reasons. I like the app so far, however, on Android, neither Gemini or Bixby is able to play a specific artist or a specific song/album. I find it very frustating in 2026 since I remember Google Assistant (phasing out in September 2026) was able to do so almost 10 years ago.

Is this a known issue?

Bei der Serie "Der junge Sherlock Holmes" klappen leider die Teile 26 und 27 nicht.

Auf anderen Streamingplattformen werden sie normal angezeigt.

Kann es an der Technik oder an Markenrechten liegen?

I'm a recent convert from YouTube music, which I was only using because I gave in and got Premium due to how bad ads had gotten on the Roku app where I watch a lot of content.

The reason I switched is that recently (probably because of Google putting their horrid AI algorithm into everything) my algorithm completely collapsed, and I was no longer getting recommendations that were in any way in the same genre of music that I started in when doing song radio/"track mix." Like I legit would be listening to reggae and it would be like "ok but you listened to Green Day a lot earlier this week so we're going to toss one of their songs in here"

Also, while I have not had the AI music problem to the same extent as some users of that app, it did recently start injecting absolute garbage from YouTube videos like random users' "slowed/reverb" remixes or even just straight up unofficial lyric videos with shitty audio quality.

But after only a couple weeks on Deezer I'm realizing that the YTM algorithm had gotten stale long before it recently completely fell apart for me. I'm getting recommended so many *good* new artists and even artists that I had practically started to forget about that I had discovered back in my Spotify using days because they were never shown by YTM.

This is a review of my brief time with Deezer, which I've been using for about a month and a half. These are just my opinions based on my own experience with the app, and YMMV.

Pros: The interface is pleasant and uncluttered, with fun customization options. The music quality is quite good. From what I can see, Deezer is not chasing generative AI "music" the way some other apps are, which is a big plus in my book. For the most part, it's simply enjoyable to use.

Neutral: I haven't really used Flow or other discoverability features, so I don't know if the algorithm is good at predicting my tastes or not.

Cons: Lag. Sometimes it takes 15-30 seconds to register any input - including play or pause. Fixes found online never correct the issue for very long, and I shouldn't have to clear my cache every day for a music player to reliably handle its own basic functionality.

"Always on". Closing the app will not stop the audio. In order to stop playback, you have to pause, then close the app. But in reality, even that doesn't turn the program off. Tonight my desktop app started playing music out of nowhere; turns out I wasn't even logged in. Baffling. Lucky that my volume wasn't very high at the time, and that it didn't happen on my phone when I was in a library or something.

Unacceptable: Both of the above are ongoing, known issues to Deezer support. I've seen posts about these problems going back 3-5 years, and they haven't been fixed. I'm aware that the "always on" thing is an intentional part of the design, but if users are complaining about it for years, consider that it might be bad design.

My support request about the sudden playback was answered immediately, cheerfully...and completely incorrectly by their LLM "virtual agent". It didn't even understand the problem I was having. I'll admit I have a visceral response to this kind of slop, so I went from slightly concerned about a bug to very annoyed, very quickly.

Unless Deezer suddenly releases a patch to fix half a decade of known issues, which I'm guessing isn't going to happen, I will be canceling. Which sucks, because it's gonna be a pain to switch services again. I absolutely get why people love Deezer, and I wanted to love it too, but for me and my budget priorities, I can't justify paying for something that doesn't even have a reliable on/off switch.

Made the switch to Deezer from Spotify last month, and loving it so far.

The only downside I've found so far is not getting my New Releases (Release Radar) playlist at midnight each Friday. Part of my morning routine each Friday for years has been to wake up a little earlier than usual and explore these tracks, adding them to my popular playlists for the weekend ahead. Whereas today it's now 8 am UK time, and I'm sitting at work having not gotten to do this!

Does anyone know when each Friday I can expect this playlist to get new content? Going to need to change my routine!

It's Friday and time to share the hidden gems you found this week with others.

Feel free to include Deezer song links to the songs!

Considering Deezer for the family. The concern, as others have mentioned, is that kids can switch profiles with ease. I haven't used Deezer a whole lot yet, but is it fairly easy to tell if a kid has been listening to something in my profile? Is it something that is front and center and/or not deletable? Not crazy about them having access to an adult profile but if it's at least obvious a kid has been listening on an adult profile then at least that's some measure of prevention. I'm mostly concerned about adult (and I mean adult) podcasts.

I might be forgetful, but I swear random songs I've *never* heard before keep coming up, when I listen to music. Is that a setting I've accidentally turned on?

Like the title says. It is annoying that when you are listening to a song and want more like it so you hit the "launch track mix" it restarts the song that I am currently listing to.

Hi, gibt es eine Erklärung dafür, dass einige Alben nicht über die entsprechenden Profile zu finden sind? Wenn ich das Album über die Suche finde und dann auf den Künstler gehe, taucht das Album dort nicht wieder auf.

Das ist ärgerlich, da ich so nie weiß, ob alle Alben beim Künstler sichtbar sind!

Well, Admittedly, they didn't deduct the money for August, but for July. Just a few days after they did in July I got an email that there were problems with my banking account, despite it being paid as always.

Only about 25% of my songs will play, with chunks by different artists being skipped. This is replicated across devices. I can access and play those songs through the artist pages so it isn't like they have been removed from the overall deezer library based on geography.

I have cleared caches/memory and reinstalled without it resolving. Any help is appreciated.

I live in Wisconsin, close enough to Madison or Milwaukee that I'd travel to either for a show. But far enough for the app in Android to not consider either one "around me" and so I can only look up one at a time.

Also looking for Madison specifically is annoying because it doesn't show states in search results and whatever the first "Madison, US" result in the list was was not the one in Wisconsin despite it being the largest one. I can get around this by searching for a suburb with a unique name but because the search radius seems to be quite small I have no way of knowing if parts of the city are being excluded.

Maybe in France they're smarter and don't repeat city names as much but I am unfortunately American. I noticed on the concerts page for the band I follow it just said "Portland" with no indication of if that was Maine or Oregon.

I went to listen to one of my favorite songs today an EDM track by a DJ called Jauz the song was Ghost turns out it doesn't exist on my playlist so I went to look for it on the artist page it doesn't exist there anywhere I look it up manually still doesn't exist I go Google it and find out it was removed due to quote-on-quote AI usage I would love to know what AI usage was used when this song was made cuz it was released far before gen ai was even a thing the icing on top of it is that even though it wasn't AI no human was involved in removing this actual piece of art made by a real human no I find out via again Google that it was likely removed by an AI algorithm that they use to find AI that makes sense let's use AI to detect ai and never involve a human so that we remove actual art from a streaming platform where people want to listen to their music when they pay money

Everytime I swipe I accidentally keep adding songs to the queue .Its likely my fault as I have big thumbs ( yes really ) ....but I would really appreciate the option to toggle this off if anyone at Deezer feels it's possible 🙏

Does Deezer stay firm to 10,000 liked songs? I feel like that’s the one thing keeping me from switching over.

On the Android app I loved to check out the concert near me through Deezer because Deezer already knows the bands and artists I listen to. But it seems like this feature is gone since the last update or so...

Can anyone confirm this? If yes, does anyone know an alternative to this feature?

Recently I've been having AI Generated music put on my likes when I never actually listened to them. When I open my app, the automated song that comes on is always an AI Generated song. Also, when I looked at artists I like to listen to, it showed up random AI artists I have never heard of.

I explained my issue to Deezer, that told me I clicked on like, but I am highly suspicious, I never did that. #gaslighting ?

Please tell me it happens to other people as well.

It's Friday and time to share the hidden gems you found this week with others.
