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

[LiamTems]

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.

Smart shuffle should be an opt-in option. Otherwise, you make a playlist for nothing, and usually, I get bizarre recommendations that are very likely matched just by zone/country and not what I actually listen to. Anyway, there's no reason to create a playlist with songs I like if I would get some random songs in between. 

Making it an opt-in function would be better, if some people like it then use it, not force everyone to use it

I hate this feature, please make a way to disable permanently. 

Again, I hate it

I don't usually care enough to vote on comments on features, but this smart shuffle is ridiculous. Either give us another option to toggle or remove it from the "normal" shuffle button. I just realized that my songs weren't shuffling because you've decided to force me to listen to songs not on my playlist. What's the point of having a shuffle option on a playlist we created if you're going to be like another radio station and put songs we don't care about?

Literally the dumbest idea to make you have to press smart shuffle and then it takes seconds to even respond so I think I didn't Hit it so I hit It again and then it goes back to no shuffle so I have to wait again for no reason. Whoever thought of this should be fired immediately

The dumbest part about this is that there is lag when you press shuffle, how in the heck is there lag in 2024 on a music app? Yall suck.. also it wouldn’t be nearly as bad if you put regular shuffle first instead of forcing me to cycle through and wait seconds for it to catch up? I mean how has no one fixed this yet? It cannot be that hard. Just do it already for goodness sake!
