Is someone looking in to this latest problem with shuffle turning off or should I create a new post?

I listen to audio books often if I'm away. 

Spotify will not remember my mat playing position. Very annoying. 

Hi there @D3hk4y,

To start with, can you let us know what troubleshooting you've done that's been provided in this thread? This will help us to not repeat anything you've already done 🙂

This issue is happening again with voice commands on my echo dot. Saying "play Spotify" to my echo device should continue where I left off but it restarts the playlist or album from the 1st song. Started happening yesterday (march 25)

Still having this issue since last Friday

I'm having the same issue with resuming - it goes back to the beginning of the playlist instead of resuming from where I left off with a voice command on Google Home. I can play whatever I want from my phone or iPad, but voice command goes back to the beginning if I ever need to pause. It's really annoying, it's worked fine for years and suddenly broken.

Hey there folks,

 

Thank you for your replies. 

 

The behavior you mention is expected due to a number of factors such as the OS, factory settings and limitations from certain devices. We've forwarded this to the relevant team here at Spotify, however, we can't confirm when it will be addressed.

 

In the meantime, please make sure to keep your app up to date with the latest version, so you don't miss out on any new fixes and improvements coming your way.

 

If you need a hand with anything else, the Community is here for you.
