So it looks like this problem is posted all over the internet, but I can't find a solution for it. I have a 167 song playlist that I like to play, but at random times when playing it, it will only play the same 10 songs in a row, shuffle or no shuffle, over and over again, like it doesn't even see the other 157 songs. I even tried to select one of the songs it doesn't play and add it to "up next" and I get an error saying I can't do that while connected to this device (on bluetooth).    How do I make shuffling (or even just playing a playlist) see all of my playlist songs? There are songs on my playlist I've never even heard because of this. And I will say that it really seems to pick the last 10 or so songs I added to the playlist as the songs to continually repeat ... View more

although the shuffle function has had some of its problems addressed before i still feel like it could be miles better than what it is for the enjoyment of spotify users.    it seems that it still always plays the same songs, maybe not in the same listening session but it still does it. and its gotten to the point that im getting bored of what i think are really good songs.   so what im suggsting is that the shuffle function should have the a feature that stops a song form being repeated until the all other songs in the playlist have been played even between sessions, with the ability to turn off this feature of course. i think this would greatly improve the shuffle function and satisfy the communities problems with it ...

When I shuffle play a new album, I don't want suggested songs from other albums. Don't make it difficult and make me create a playlist for one album. Just s thought. ... View more

In a given playlist, shuffle-mode repeats songs. There should be a non-repeat setting, so you can randomly listen to entries in a playlist, but not have them repeat until each other song has been played.    As it stands, you could conceivably listen to the same song twice in a row on suffle mode. Not a good thing. On an iTunes playlist, the entries do not repeat until, as mentioned, the entire playlist has played.  ... View more

The Shuffle function in Spotify seems to be a common point of frustration for many Spotify users, and I'm one of them. I've read various blogs explaining that it's quite difficult to implement, but I really don't think it is. I'm a Web Developer, and although I'm not a hardcore programmer, the logic of playing a random song without repeating seems quite easy to me. See my Javascript/PHP-like syntax below: $playlist = Array('Song 1','Song 2', 'Song 3'); //etc... $playedAlready = Array();//Empty array, as we haven't played any yet. $randNum = round(rand(0,$playlist.length));//This would round to a whole number, and return a random value between 0 and the number of items in the $playlist variable Spotify::Play($playlist[$randNum]); //Plays a random track from the playlist $playedAlready[] = $playlist[$randNum];//Adds this track to the playedAlready list unset($playlist[$randNum]);//This then deletes the song entry from the playlist, so it can't possibly be part of the random selection again //After the song has finished, the above process is looped. This is obviously a very basic concept but the idea is there. Why haven't the Spotify team implemented something as simple as that? ... View more

I think it would be great to be able to prioritise auto shuffle for a particular artist, so that when I push 'play,' i can hear some B-Sides, and not simply the popular tracks from that particular artist. Spotify is a great way to explore music, but hearing the same track which is on the radio is, for the lack of better word, useless.    Otherwise - thumbs up! ... View more

As you build up playlists, suddenly they are full of music that you like, but are very different. So, you can be all pumped up with a rock tune and then suddenly shuffles to a mellow mood kind of tune. It would be great to have a shuffle mode that follows the mood of the current song. Basically adapting the "similar music" functionality to make it work within a playlist. You can even throw in some new stuff automatically. Similar to Last.fm's Mix stations, but not quite. ...
