Enhance button was so much better than "smart shuffle"

Enhance button was so much better than "smart shuffle"

It was a simple toggle button on your playlist and you could clearly see the songs that were added. It was intuitive and useful, so of course Spotify had to go and ruin it.

 

Now, with smart shuffle, the user has to figure out where are these added songs. Turns out they have to open the que page to see them and they must shuffle the songs. It's so obviously bad and clunky. 

 

It's like Spotify has one guy who decides what he wants without actually running it past some testers to get sensible feedback. Any rational, long-time Spotify user would prefer the Enhance button feature over this new smart shuffle. 

 

I've had Premium for many years but this kind of nonsense is making me consider cancelling. Enhance was such a game-changing feature.

Hey everyone,

 

Good news! Spotify has listened to user feedback and you can now disable Smart Shuffle from the mobile app settings, as mentioned in this now implemented idea. This setting will also be added to the desktop app in a future update.

 

Steps to disable Smart Shuffle in the mobile app:

 

1: Tap on your profile picture at the top left corner

2: Tap on Settings and privacy

3: Tap on Playback

4: Switch Include Smart Shuffle in play modes off

 

Note: This is for Premium users only and right now it's only available in the mobile app, but in a future update, there will be a setting to disable Smart Shuffle in the desktop app as well.
