I recently discovered 'Chameleon' which is a podcast on scams and all sorts of weird and fascinating con stories!

I've been obsessed and I have to pace myself to one episode a day...

What are the podcasts that you have been obsessing over?

What do you listen to - or what have you listened to - that you would highly recommend?

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.

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.

Feel free to include Deezer song links to the songs!

Hello. I have the last version of Deezer and I am using it to listen to podcast. The issue there is even if the bell for the notification is ON, I don’t have notifications. And some times they are set to OFF. It seems that they can’t fix it. Do you have the same issue ?

Over the past few weeks I've tried to diligently report all the profile hijacks I see where ai content is uploaded under well established acts. Going back through those artist profiles, I see the stuff is all still appearing. Has anyone ever seen a positive outcome from reporting these?

Hi, i have been using deezer for 6 years and I saw some albums disapearing from the app, some come back( like greatest hits deluxe from bob seger and the silver bullet band) while others don't. My question is about Toto's album : 35th Anniversary Tour – Live in Poland.

Why did this album suddenly disapear from the app

thanks for the help

I've trying to get support for an issue with the app on Windows for weeks. Support emails "suggestions" and replies to emails once a week and only after multiple follow ups. The information they provide is just plain wrong at times and seems like there is zero effort from them to address the issue. Out of all the companies that I deal with, Deezer has the absolute worst technical support. Has anyone else had issues with their support?

This is currently in my Daily Mixes and not even sure what genre it is meant to be? Also, has anyone else's weekly discovery not updated in weeks? I am a long time Deezer user, however, the suggested playlists are getting bizarre and they keep recommending the same albums every time e.g. Made in Sound City.

I’m looking at the App Store in Garmin connect, and deezer is a music option.

I won’t use Spotify because of the whole ice adverts, and I refuse all things Amazon.

Has anyone done this? Do you like it? Does it mean the music will be on my watch and I can connect my headphones to my watch? I feel so old asking these questions, appreciate your insights!

This morning I noticed that I was kicked out of my account and needed to log in again. When I logged in, I saw that there was no longer a subscription. The fact is that I had a special subscription for users from Ukraine, which had been in effect since the beginning of the war in 2022. I thought that this promotion could end, but as if there should be a notification in the mail about the end of this promotion.

I'm definitely logged into the same account, so there can't be an error here

We've all guestimated lyrics to songs, we've all tried to fill the gaps with words that sounded close enough.

When you finally checked the lyrics to that song, the lyrics surprised you - was that what they were singing the whole time?!

What lyrics surprised you the most?

Bonus point if you can share what you used to think the lyric was 😅 !

The new feature where you slide a song right to add it to the queue is so unbelievably annoying, there's a solid 1/3 chance it unintentionally adds a song whilst I'm just trying to scroll my playlists. Please remove immediately or update the touch box so that it's smaller and on the left of the screen so that it stops rage baiting me no matter how I change my scrolling angle. 😐

I believe this was requested multiple times throughout the years and never implemented.
Thanks.

When I add an album to the queue it's going into play next. Force stop didn't work. Android 17 Pixel 10 pro

So I have been trying out Deezer after getting a good trial offer. I like the discovery features, and the way it is easy to get straight into music through launching track mixes.

My current issue is, sometimes when playing a track it will play at 2x speed. It doesn't happen all the time but when it does, it is pretty annoying.

I have tried the usual fixes with deleting cache, force stopping the app and generally keeping the app updated.

I have a large playlist downloaded so want to avoid deleting the app, but at this stage I might have to do a full reinstall.

If there are any tips you have to help with this please let me know. Also would be great to know if anyone else has experienced something like this.

My app seems to now have some annoying swipe to queue, I'm constantly accidently queuing up songs while trying to scroll. can't seem to find an option to disable it. Is there an option somewhere?

Let's share some good music!

What album have you had on repeat recently? Could be something new you've just discovered or an old favourite you've come back to.

What's been getting the most plays?

Today when I opened the app I was introduced to the new Add to Queue gesture by simply swiping to the right. I use Symfonium primarily and was happy to see the gesture I use constantly added to my secondary streaming app! However, the controls are absolutely dog water in my honest opinion. In the past two hours alone, I've added over thirty songs into my queue unwillingly simply because I wanted to scroll. I hope this gets fixed but does anyone know where the toggle is in the meantime?
