Make 'smart shuffle' its own button or toggle.

Make 'smart shuffle' its own button or toggle, or let us disable the feature entirely in the settings menu. It's frustrating having to toggle past smart shuffle to get to regular shuffle every time, especially as there is a slight delay where it has to pre-load the suggested music.

I also have no idea why smart shuffle takes priority over regular shuffle in the order. Surely more users prefer to use regular shuffle, which means we're being given an extra click for no reason. Good UI design is partially about getting from A to B in as fewer steps as possible.

Please fix this.

I came on here to leave a post and thankfully see I’m not alone. The smart shuffle feature drives me mad. Why implement something that would interrupt the user’s experience like that. Get rid!!!!

It shouldn't even shuffle.

 

The shuffle button should shuffle, the "enhance" button (or whatever they want to call it, smart it is not), should only add songs, NOT also shuffle.

 

And of course there is no reason for it to be the same button.

I totally agree. The smart shuffle feature should have its own button or be able to be turned off. It’s really annoying to have to skip past smart shuffle just to use regular shuffle, especially with the extra delay. Regular shuffle should be easy to use and not hidden behind extra steps.

Please provide a way to disable smart shuffle, it's a crappy "feature" and I don't want to ever use it, ever ever ever.  Please provide a way to disable it or I'll need to find a new music service to give my money to.

This is a great idea, when Spotify introduced the smart shuffle I was a bit confused and didn't know when it would be on or not!

I hate smart shuffle. I hate that it is the default option when I click the shuffle button. Sometimes I make sure to toggle it off to normal shuffle and find it's reverted back to smart shuffle! Smart shuffle feels like a deeper ploy to play the biggest trending songs on my device.

i absolutely hate smart shuffle, the added tracks don't hit my taste at all, so it's basically an additional tap to get to the basic shuffle feature
