[Mobile] [Other] Smart Shuffle toggle setting in settings menu

Smart shuffle is a fun way to discover new songs, but it comes at a cost. Want to reshuffle your queue? Bam, wait a few seconds longer. Want to unshuffle your playlist? Bam, no longer works, and goes to a completely random place in the playlist.

 

To me this is an unwanted complication, and I'd much rather be able to choose in the settings menu whether I want to enable the Smart Shuffle feature, or disable it.

Hey! It looks like your suggestion is growing up fast and it's amazing! We are going to change its status to 'Good Suggestion' now and we hope it continues being supported by more and more users.
Thanks again for your suggestion. We really appreciate it 🙂

Dear Spotify Mod, wearing what seems to be a blindfold: PLEASE READ: Creating a personal playlist, is, well, a personal expression—not a community effort. A ‘PERSONAL’ playlist, is NOT a place to cram some rando’s suggestions/reccos. A ‘PERSONAL’ playlist, is also NOT a collaboration with an algorithm. Selecting, curating and then sharing a playlist is a VERY personal project. Frequently, created with some measure of love and care. Spotify, your ‘Smart’ Shuffle feature has clearly generated more than 7,000 community comments from upset Spotify users, on over 100 pages, plus the many who have never logged in to make a comment.

 

Please respond and update us on your thoughts, plans and efforts, is a sensible way, within the next few days.

 

Thank you.
