Option to disable Smart Shuffle

[usernameuserusername]

Yes, yes, I know there already exists multiple threads related to this issue, but since Spotify haven't fixed this issue (yes, I'm naming it an issue because that's what it is) I figured I'd just create yet another thread to show my dissatisfaction regarding this matter. 

So to sum things up: I - just like what seems like the half of the globe - would like to be able to DISABLE SMART SHUFFLE. 

Kind regards,

Smart shuffle probably has some advertising value to spotify. More than likely artists/producers using it to promote music

I advice EVERYONE to jump onto their chat, get an advisor and ask for the status on this matter.

Smart shuffle isn't even that bad itself, like it's a good idea... Until they made it so that it's the first option when I click on the shuffle button. Like I click the shuffle button and I want it to shuffle not add songs Im not in the mood for. Also when I put it on normal shuffle and play my music it automatically turns back on art shuffle. Like **bleep**, respectfully, go away!

There are other live ideas on just that removal of a “bleep” thing, letting more and more people cancel Spotify. Interesting enough one of those now has close to 6000 likes and is still a good suggestion and even not listed under “most popular “. Spotify just don’t care, so why should we. I think I made a good choice in moving

That "feature" makes me so mad. It sucks that they feel the need to add that to the app. For that, I could just make a music Playlist on YouTube. I hope that they fix this.

I had spotify over a year ago. It was way more enjoyable, even with the ads. I had to delete my old account and start a new one. Ima just say, what the heck. I had recently gotten that new account. So, when I saw that they made smart shuffle mandatory for spotfy free, I was dumbfounded.
