[Amazon Echo] Stop auto shuffling Songs when you request an Artist via Alexa

[mdriscoll33]

You changed the setting so that Alexa auto shuffles songs by artist when you use your voice to start spotify.  For some reason, I have to request this as a new idea for you to reverse the setting.   You already can tell alexa to shuffle when you request an artist.  Why would it auto shuffle and force you to interrupt the music you just started to play?

Really?? I’m away for the weekend so will have to test out when I get back.

For me it works only on first 5 max 10songs on each artist and then it goes back to shuffle mode which is not really and fix to be honest. Try it on Nirvana it will play the best max 10songs and then it goes back to shuffle mode for me. Compare it what is under top song from them on playlist and after 5-10songs it goes back to shuffle mode. And it is on each device sonos and amazon echos. Can anyone try it on yours devices?? For me is this a partial fix still not happy with this fix.

Seems to work again as expected! Great.

Feels good that our posts were finally taken into account.

Or was spotify never looking at this?

would be interesting to know if the community is heard and does have an influence.

Just connected spotify and Alexa and was super disappointed when I asked it to play my liked songs it automatically plays songs from like years ago. I thought it was going to start at the top of my list which would be recent songs I am really into right now. Please fix this its so annoying I can't toggle the shuffle without opening the app which defeats the purpose of the voice commands!
