[All Platforms][Other] Button on play queue to shuffle current selections

[zardox]

Currently, in the panel "Playing from play queue" below "Now playing," if there are any selections queued, there is a listing titled "Next in Queue" with one option "Clear Queue".

My request - 

Add an additional button labeled "Shuffle", have it appear only if there is more than one selection in the queue. Pressing this "shuffle" button does a random sort of the selections currently in the queue.

Note : selections below in the "Next from" section are not included, no change is made to their order.

I need this because I routinely make a selection of singles and albums from several artists but I want then to shuffle the selections. This is kind of like building a playlist on the fly.

1. An alternate idea would be to have a button that transfers selections in the queue to a playlist. But that is less preferable because I don't want a new playlist to be added

Congratulations on reaching 100 kudos. You rock, and obviously, so does this idea.
Hang on tight, you will soon (usually within a couple of months) see a reply from Spotify in this thread determining the future of the idea.

Hey folks. Spotify Community team here. We've passed this on and we're ready to mark it as a good idea. 

Keep leaving your kudos and comments and we'll keep ensuring it goes to the right teams. Thanks for the feedback everyone!

The entire Shuffle feature is one of the worst parts of Spotify.  Music players have shuffled randomly for decades.  Why is it so hard for Spotify?

Why not be honest with your customers?

I was surprised this wasn't already implemented.  Please make it so.

Weird this hasn't been done yet - get to it Spotify!

It is however, possible to get it done - just add the albums/songs to a random playlist, clear your queue and then shuffle play the playlist, it'll create a random generated play queue based on the playlist.

An annoying workaround, though.

Come on Spotify. Your users that pay for your service have waited for years for proper SHUFFLE!?!? 

I just spent 10 minutes with the Windows client trying to shuffle a queue. Not possible. WTF!? If I turn it into a playlist? Not possible! Double WTF!

Good idea? It's completely ridiculous this isn't a basic feature.
