Why will I get random songs on my playlist

Wed, 10 Jan 2024 03:47:15 GMT

When I go to my playlist it says that Spotify has added new songs to my playlist, from that point on I press the play button and it gets a random song that isn’t on my playlist.

Hey there,

Thank you for reaching out here in the Community.

Could you please let us know which device you're using?

If you're experiencing this on your mobile device, we can assume that you have the newest Smart Shuffle feature turned on on your playlist and that might be the reason why this is happening.

If that's the case, we'd suggest that you turn it off and check if you'll experience the same. You can turn Smart Shuffle on or off whenever you want by tapping through the Shuffle button at the top of your playlist or on the Now Playing View.

You can find more info about the Smart Shuffle in this article. If you have any input about this new feature - you're welcome to share it in this thread as your feedback is important to us!

If the above is not the case, could you send over some screenshots of your playlist, queue and NPV?

Hope this helps. If anything else comes up, the Community will be here for you 🙂

How do I stop Spotify from recommending songs in shuffle mode?

When I turn on shuffle for a playlist, Spotify recommends songs. I don't want it add recommend songs, I just want to hear the songs from my playlist in shuffle mode. How do I stop it from automatically recommending songs?
