Queue

Hello.

  Why, despite the fact that there are over 2,000 tracks on the Playlist, the queue only selects a few and each time the same? Does Spotify not choose from all the songs on the list randomly?

Hey @supprzem

It sounds like you're talking about the Shuffle feature.

Queue is a bunch of songs selected by you for playback, and to add next songs in the queue, you'll have to right-click on the song (or tap the three dots) and choose 'Add to queue'.

Songs chosen by you appear under 'Next in Queue', and songs from the playlist/album/artist appear under 'Next Up'. You can clear the 'Next In Queue', but not the other one.

Shuffle used to be a bit wonky, but in the web player at least it works normally now. I'd recommend reinstalling Spotify, if it's the shuffle that's not working at it should.

Keep me posted. 🙂

Hi.

  I can try to reinstall but i have the same problem on 3 different computers. I think that maybe shuffle can process my whole playlist: 2700 songs. I will be a little disappointed if that's the case.

Thank You.

Hey @supprzem

I've seen other people having similar issues with their very large playlists.
There have been issues rised by some of them, and they were fixed. Clean reinstalling would be a good thing to try, since it removes all the old files.

1. Uninstall Spotify through Control Panel.
2. Go to %appdata%. You'll find yourself in Roaming. Delete any Spotify folders in there, and go to Local to do the same there too.

3. Restart your computer.

4. Install Spotify.

All I can say is that I don't seem to have this issue (anymore) on the web player, but my playlists aren't particularly huge either.

Keep me posted.
