Can't shuffle an album anymore

My Issue

I generally listen to new albums in shuffle mode. When playing an album and clicking the shuffle button, this used to only shuffle the songs of this album, which is the behavior that I expect.

Now, it shuffles all the songs across ALL albums. That doesn't make sense, because my play queue only contained the album that I want to play, and clicking on shuffle modifies my play queue to include songs from all albums...

There's no easy way to shuffle an album anymore. I now have to create a playlist just for that purpose, and my once-organized playlist section becomes crowded with one-off album playlists.

Please revert that behavior, or add a shuffle button on the album. Thank you.

Hi there @Noxxys,

Thank you for taking the time to post here in the Community.

You should be able to only shuffle one album if you either head to your saved albums by going to Your Library> Album and enter an Album there. You can also search for an album and then to click on the name next to the album art.

Let us know how it goes after you followed the steps above 🙂

Take care!

Hi Jeremy, thank you for your answer. That indeed works.
What doesn't work is the following:
- go to artist page
- click on an album under Discography/albums
- play a song from the album
- enable shuffle
- click next, the next song might be from another album, while I expected it to be from the same album

I guess it makes sense, because all the albums are displayed on this page.
I'll have to remember to go one level down to the actual album page in order to get this behavior.

We need to be able to search an album and then immediately shuffle from the top. Please please please
