[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.

Years later, I'm still in agreement with adding a setting to disable smart shuffle. Toggling would be fine if it were 1) not a default setting and 2) reliably turned off when toggled. I regularly have to toggle it back to regular shuffle multiple times because it turns back on its own.

Give the users the option of completely disabling smart shuffle and stop trying to push it on us. It feels like another bad tactic to show paid promotion to users that aren't interested.

Smart Shuffle is trash. It doesn't even add song I want to listen to, and I end up skipping them.
Just let me make my own **bleep**ing playlists, and shuffle that. If I want to discover new music, I have much better and more efficient ways to do it than "Smart" Shuffle.

I hate it. I just want that Spotify play similar songs as in my playlist but instead of it, the new shuffle button put just one recommended song between every 3 songs of my playlist....

Hi, I'd like to add my vote, but the button is greyed out for me.

Your "We really appreciate it 🙂" doesn't mean anything. It's been over a year. We hate this feature. You know this. Allow us to take control over our own music. That's what we're PAYING you for.

It didn't bother me much for awhile, but the results of it are absolute garbage. TIred of having to look closely at which of the stupidly similar icons is selected. Big failure as a feature and a user experience.

I don't like that the order of smart shuffle and regular shuffle got swapped, the order when you tap shuffle and expect it to change to the next item.

I also experience lag when trying to move away from smart shuffle, I have to wait a few seconds every time.  I need to permanently turn off smart shuffle as soon as possible.  Paid for Spotify for 10 years straight.

What that guy said about smart shuffle having advertiser value makes sense.  I reckon spotify will be thinking of a new way to get this forced shuffling into our playlists before giving us the ability to turn off the current smart shuffle.  They wouldn't want to lower the value of Shopify to investors.

Please provide an option to disable smart shuffle... It is the most annoying, buggiest, non-standard feature/button. It goes against the behavior of every other media player in existence.
