Why are random songs playing in my liked song playlist?

[Cracken420]

 Starting this week my liked playlist started playing random songs. I understand this is a feature of Spotify but not in my playlist. What's the point of making a playlist if it's just going to play a bunch of random stuff I have no interest in? I do have a premium account but if I'm just going to be forced to listen to whatever I'm going to cancel it. I may as well listen to the radio. My OS is android.

Issue resolved. One of my coworkers had the same problem. If you hit the shuffle button it gives you the option to use shuffle or "smart" shuffle. If you choose smart shuffle it plays random stuff.

Not anymore... Spotify seems to have got rid of the standard shuffle. I guess smart shuffle brings in more dollars, screw the premium user...

I have a playlist of liked songs. When I play them I get random songs that are not on my list. Why?

This is extremely annoying and an against-the-user feature. You can deactivate the smart shuffle if you click again in the random button BUT if you play from a folder containing multiple playlists, the "smart" shuffle is activated and you cannot get rid of it. So basically the play from a folder feature is useless now. In the right side you can see how most of the songs in the queue are added by Spotify with its "smart" feature so I am not able to listen to the music I want even if the button shows the regular shuffle icon instead of the smart one.

It just shows the names of the songs all next to each other and when I play the playlist it just plays random song not in my playlist, and also Spotify just keeps adding songs to my playlist and help?
