My Question or Issue

If I'm listening to a playlist on one device, then switch to another device using connect, the queue on the new device is the entire shuffled playlist. Expected is it would carry the queue over to the new device so songs I already listened to on the first device aren't being repeated. Seems to be happening across all 3 of my devices, regardless of which device it's switching from/to.

Sorry, I'm a little **bleep** off by people who says that the problem is Ubuntu. If you have a problem with the Windows version and the Android version, the problem is the app, but when it's the same problem with Ubuntu, oh, no support, not our fault.
If you don't like Ubuntu, I'll give you the Android version and the Windows version, respectivly 8.5.85.894 and 1.1.46.916.g416cacf1.

Hey @user-removed,

Thank you for your reply and confirmation of the versions.

Is it possible for you to log in with another account - such as a friend's or a family member's to see if the issue persists?

We'll keep an eye out for your reply.

Cheers!

Hello, 

Mine is a bit long story.

First we had a problem where our songs would return to the first song every time we start a song. We wouldn't be able to play it unshuffled or for example "play by name" style.

Then that got fixed which was the worst one to be fixed hopefully. 

Now I have this problem. 

It doesn't matter which device I am using, every time I open up the app and start playing the song I was recently playing, the queue entirely changes. The way I get it temporarily fix is to press "name" 3 times to make it relisted by names and scroll and click to the song I was listening, then the queue fixes as I desire.

This is really annoying as I can't just simply open up the app and start the song right away... 

I hope it gets fixed asap. 

Thanks a lot for everyone who is working this out.

For your information, I stop using Spotify's randomness. I implemented a little script that connects to my account and create a shuffled playlist from my main playlist.

It's written in Python and the user interface is not implemented, but it works. https://code.almtesh.net/Almtesh/spotify

Same problem over here and I'm using the Windows & Android apps. I also have mine linked up as a family account but I don't see why that would make any difference, I only mention it because this has been open for a while with no resolution so it's either being completely ignored or the developers can't reproduce... But it's super easy to reproduce, you just start playing in shuffle mode and then use the in-app menu to change playback to a new device. Then you'll notice the queue is completely scrapped and everything that's already been played will be mixed in again.
