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

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

The ability to shuffle the queue order after songs have been added to it would be very convenient. For example once I have added 2 or more songs I would love it if a shuffle button appeared on the queue/upnext page.

Should also be able to add your queue to a playlist 😩

Exactly. Love this. I recently joined spotify and I was confused as to why songs on queue can't be shuffled. 

scarletvvitch

Yes! Especially because I spam songs by one artist, then another, and it doesn't flow as well as a shuffle would.

I need a real shuffle option. My list has 2000 songs on it and it always plays the same stuff over and over again.
