My Question or Issue

So, I got the UI update for the library, and yeah I got mad when I saw it took away from me the ability to shuffle my entire library thanks to the "Songs" tab.

From what I understand, this "songs" tab is supposed to be replaced by the "Liked Songs" playlist, in which are supposed to figure all the songs I've liked (i.e. added to my library). But... no. I only got 194 songs in this playlist when I have saved hundreds of albums. The songs that are in this playlist are songs I've liked on Daily Mixes and individual songs I've liked after this update (if I add an album to my library, this album's song won't appear in this playlist)

So, my question is: how do I play my music like I used to, shuffling through all my library ? Please don't tell me I have to manually "like" every single song I've already added to my library.

Why not a shuffle all downloaded songs? Stop mucking around with playlists and likes songs etc... Just shuffle all when in offline mode!

Please provide a simpler explanation.  I want to be able to shuffle my complete library of liked songs.  How do I do that?

Hey there @POBF,

Welcome to the Community!

If you want to shuffle your Liked songs on the PC app all you need to do is head over to Your Library > Liked songs press Play and hit the Shuffle button

 on the bottom left. The button becomes green when active.

More info on the Shuffle function - here.

Hope this helps. Give us a shout if you have more questions.

Have a great day!

So my devices are Apple. Mac iPhone iPad. When I try to shuffle my liked songs it seems to only choose like maybe 100 or 150 of them and keeps repeating those. It never shuffle plays my entire 2000+ songs.

Hey @POBF,

Thanks for your reply and the clarification.

Sometimes if there are a very large number of songs in the playlist it might take a long time to get to the ones you don't listen to so often. 

Have a look at this Spotify Answer for some tips that could help you.

Another workaround would be to create smaller playlists of your favorite songs, that way more songs will enter the shuffle mix faster.

Have a great day!

That’s great. But how come it I like an entire album it all doesn’t drop into my liked songs? (Like it used to)

Hi @mikee027,

Thanks for the reply.

This feature has been changed a few versions ago. Currently you'd have to add the songs from an album one by one to your Liked songs or using a mobile device like all songs by going to the Album page > click the 3-dot menu > select Like all songs.

Hope this helps.
