Playlist viewing and shuffle

roscoescobar — Fri, 03 Mar 2017 15:07:33 GMT

Hi,

I've had Premium for many years and there has always been an option on my various android phones to view all the tracks within a certain playlist, and then play that list in Shuffle mode. I reinstalled Spotify today as it was getting buggy and now I can't see any options to do this once I open up a Playlist. Has anyone else experienced this?

Spotify Version: 7.8.0.607 armV7

> Your Library > Playlists > Playlist (folder) Only option is to 'Create New playlist'.

I'm having this problem too.

It was my favorite, and most used, feature of the Spotify app. I guess I'll have to thumb through playlists while I'm driving. Very dangerous. Boo.

I'm having this issue too and it's really annoying.

Shuffling music from a whole folder is the best way to listen to all your music in spotify.

I don't understand why Spotify would remove a feature? Is Spotify devolving?

I wanted to create a topic for this issue. This feature was great to play all of my songs (local files + online songs)... For now, the solution is to donwload an older version of the app, on apkmirror. Please, bring back this feature.

This makes me livid. Bundling playlists in a folder to be able to listen to several different playlists at once is one of my most used functions. Why even remove it? Why even have folders if you're can't use them in this way? A while back they removed the ability to see all tracks in a playlist folder on the desktop app as well. A completely unnecessary change that only removes features. I've been a user since 2009, but I'm getting sick and tired of this.

I'm new to this Community, is there a way to complain directly to Spotify about this? I too am a long time Premium member, and removing such a feature is very frustrating.

I am new too. It was my first post. My premium account will be end soon too, I hope for them they will bring back this feature ^^ For now, don't update the app !

Yes this is very annoying. I use this function just about everyday and now it's gone. Not happy with this service right now.

This is very frustating...

anyone who has a playlist organized by artists wont be able to shuffle between them... thats is very stupid... If this is not going to be fixes I will cancel my subscrition...
