On the Now Playing screen, tap the album artwork and some options should appear. Tap on the highlighted "Shuffle" button and it should grey out. Shuffling should now stop.

Mardeen, If David's answer to your first question was helpful then you should say thanks and leave him kudos. Then maybe you might get your 2nd question answered.

Changing the order of tracks in your playlists is generally quickest on your computer.

However, you can also change the order on your iPhone too. Enter a playlist, press the pencil button and each tracks should now have three little bars on the right hand side. Press and hold on this for a second, and you should be able to drag it in the playlist, allowing you to create a new playlist order.

When I tap the shuffling symbol on Spotify on my Iphone, it doesn´t fade out.

How do I get rid of shuffling?

I want to play albums from start to end.

Are you a paid subscriber? Maybe this only works for paid subscribers

Can confirm, you must have a Premium account to disable shuffle on iPhone.

Tap on the now playing bar at the bottom to open the now playing screen. Once there, the shuffle toggle should now be in the bottom left corner.

My daughter has a Kindlefire HD and we've tried all the options to stop the shuffle feature. It says she must have Premium to do this. WHY?????? I can play whatever song I want to on my computer in any order and don't have to have Premium to do this. Why shouldn't it be the same for a Kindle?

Unfortunately Spotify tablet free not working on some Kindle fires has been a long running issue:

It appears to be related to the screen resolution of the devices being too low to be detected as a tablet (according to posts on that topic).

Thanks for your reply, but this doesn't make sense. An iphone screen is much smaller--does it have a higher resolution, which therefore allows it to use the non-shuffle feature? Surely this could be worked out. It is 2014, after all, right???? 😉

You can't use non-shuffle on an iPhone without Spotify Premium. Are you using Premium (in which case there is something else wrong here!)?

Thanks so much for that - this was driving me mad too, thought I'd tried everyting!!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that if you don't have a Premium account, then no matter what device your using, you'll never be able to disable shuffling.

I think it's a perk that's reserved for paying customers.
