PLEASE GIVE US AN OPTION TO DISABLE SMART SHUFFLE

That’s all. The feature is nice but I just want to shuffle through some of my songs from time to time. 

Thank you.

You can use normal shuffle.

Double tab shuffle button and here u go.

That shouldn't be necessary, also it creates more network activity loading songs you don't want, and sometimes this will cause an extended delay if your connection is poor or intermittent, for example if you are travelling.

Hey everyone,

Good news! Spotify has listened to user feedback and you can now disable Smart Shuffle from the mobile app settings, as mentioned in this now implemented idea. This setting will also be added to the desktop app in a future update.

Steps to disable Smart Shuffle in the mobile app:

1: Tap on your profile picture at the top left corner

2: Tap on Settings and privacy

3: Tap on Playback

4: Switch Include Smart Shuffle in play modes off

Note: This is for Premium users only and right now it's only available in the mobile app, but in a future update, there will be a setting to disable Smart Shuffle in the desktop app as well.
