So after the big library interface UX update last year, I'm still recovering from the utter obliteration of my library's organization from that changeover. I'm still incredibly upset by it, and I think the new library organization/browsing navigation is a complete disaster, especially to anyone who previously had a well manicured library. Suddenly "Artist" section doesn't correlate with the albums or songs you liked, but rather only the artist you "follow." (I don't "follow" artist in Spotify, so this feature isn't helpful to me, but why doesn't Spotify just make a dedicated "Following" tab in the Library navigation?) So, no way of browsing my saved library by Artist anymore. Sure, I can sort the albums by artist, which Ive accepted, even though it still drives me crazy. To add insult to injury, the albums that I've already liked don't/didn't automatically add the individual songs from the album to the "songs" section of my library, so you wont see the songs from an already saved album in the "songs" section either. You have to now individually add each song from the entire album you've already liked to have them appear in "songs." For me that would be over 10,000 individual song likes that I'd have to get through. What a joke! No on has time for that. Which brings me to my main issue: since the core of my library that remained intact seems to only be browsable in "Albums," there is no way to currently shuffle my entire library. As far as I can see there is NOT AN OPTION TO SHUFFLE ALL ALBUMS (or in other words: shuffle all songs from your saved albums). Why?... I have no idea. Seems the only place in which you can shuffle your entire library is if you've individually went back and liked every song from every album in your library so they once again appear in "Songs," like they used to before the update. I'm incredibly dumbfounded with Spotify not considering how disastrous their update would be to peoples existing libraries after the upgrade. So in short: Songs, Albums, and Artists do not correlate with each other in the slightest. Anyone else incredibly frustrated with this? PLEASE, if anyone has any tips as to how to gain this entire library shuffle functionality back while not having to individually like over 10,000 songs from my already saved albums, please let me know. Thanks, in advance
