[Android] Tracks repeated in play queue if using shuffle and a filter

[ZRyzner]

Hello,

I've noticed weird behavior of shuffle when you're playing selection of tracks from playlist. Here's how to reproduce it:

- select random playlist

- 'scroll' up to see the 'Filter' bar

- enter some filtering criteria

- select 'Shuffle play'

- make sure that 'Repeat' is turned off

- check your play queue

When I do that, I see some tracks REPEATING in the play queue (see attachement)

What I'd expect:

With settings as listed above, I'd expect that each song will be played only once.

It works like that when you for example search for an album and then select shuffle, so I think it should work in the same way even for selection from playlist.

My device
Motorola MotoG 4G

Device’s Operating System
4.4.4 KitKat

My mobile Spotify version
1.4.0.631

Thank you!

Good catch. I have replicated this with the latest Spotify for Android version  (1.5.0.739). 

FYI - I've moved this from the Android forum to the bugs forum.

Same here. Any playlist I choose at least 3 songs are there coming soon (usually next to the song just played). I have this problem with Windows 7 on my computer. And this happens almost straight after choosing this random playlist.

@Daniel are you still able to reproduce this on your latest Android version? 

[Daniel]

@meahtenoha Just tried and can confirm it's still happening on Spotify 1.9.0 & Android 5.01

I have similar issue with the Windwos dekstop version of Spotify.

When I go to my songs, filter some tracks using ctrl+F and select shuffle, the songs that I've chosen multiplying by 3 times.

I also have double entries in the play queue - without shuffle mode.

This bug makes the play queue useless in my opinion.
