[Following] Shuffle Songs from followed Artists

This feature has already been suggested a few times since 2014 (maybe even before that)! 
It's a feature on iTunes since when Britney Spears was a hit (the first time)!
Winamp did it way before that (remember Winamp!?). 

 

It's 2018… Almost 19 and we're still unable to play songs from every artist we follow in shuffle. I don't want to (and can't even) save every song from every artist on a playlist. Who'd do that?! 

It seems like such a small thing to implement that not doing it seems almost lazy.
I KNOW you aren't lazy. Pleaaaaaase don't let me dooooown!
Thanks 🙂

This was the very first thing that I felt was missing on Spotify. Please implement it. This would be so awesome!

Anyone knows any updates on this? This feature would be great!

Their never going to implement this feature. People have been requesting
this for many many years and Spotify doesn't listen. They told me that if
enough people want it, they'll add it but they lie.

So, they say they are monitoring comments... 
Well, it has been 3 years, stop monitoring and give us option to play all followed on shuffle PLEASE

6 months ago, they said it's under internal consideration (status on top of this thread or https://community.spotify.com/t5/Live-Ideas/Following-Shuffle-Songs-from-followed-Artists/idc-p/5219...) but there was no follow up - they must be considering it veeeeery carefully.. 🙄

I'm not using Spotify anymore and won't until (and if) this is implemented.
Seems as we're suggesting some game-changing feature and not a basic one.. 🙈

It seems simple. They also allegedly said they would implement it; so i guess there are not really legal issues. 
But maybe there is a legal issue, where Spotify is forbidden to "offer" you a playlist with multiple licenses. maybe.... 
But then again, a simple tool for playlist creation, where you "select all" and create a playlist without Spotify offering you such a thing would be SUPER COOL. 

You can do what I do. 
Create a "master shuffle" playlist and take the time to manually move your favorite albums from alllllll the artists. 
Then do it every time you like a new one.

That is a playlist I double click every time I turn on the PC. I dont understand why not give us tools

I just signed up for premium, and I'm totally cancelling it, because this is a complete joke. We could shuffle all our songs on our iPods 20 years ago, and Spotify somehow stays in business without this most basic feature? You guys really must not care about your product at all - as soon as something half decent comes along, you'll be out of business.

Honestly cannot believe that this has not been implemented yet. All I want to do is add artists to my library then just click shuffle to play my library!

Hi Torleif,
