Recently, in the past month or two I've noticed my premium spotify playlist no longer plays in any certain order. Its always on shuffle whether I press shuffle or not. I've downladed all the updates and still seem to have this issue. Its fine on my computer but on my iPhone 6 this issue remains. I can manually queue each song and that will play fine but it will never play the orginal list straight through.
Solved! Go to Solution.
I have found the solution to turn off shuffle. The solution is easy, but hidden
1. Open the playlist
2. Press play on any track
3.On the bottom bar, where the song that is currently playing is listed, click it so that the full album cover is displayed
4. Look for the shuffle icon (2 criss-crossing arrows), and unclick it or unhighlight
Your playlist will now play in any order you would like. So simple, but yet, so dumb.
Why on earth Spotify would make the shuffle button so big on the home screen of a playlist and the turn shuffle mode off button hidden away from the normal display is lost on me.
Hope that helps!

I'm having the same issue. I set my playlists in a certain order for my classes. If I cannot have this feature then I cannot use spotify 😞
How do I stop it from shuffle? Help!
Thank you! With that link no. When in each Spotify app (mobile or computer) it says premium though. Looks like we've identified the problem. What's the process to correct this?
Its almost been a week without any response to my problem. It appears you've identitfied the source of the porblem but haven't resolved it yet. I'm a paying premium usuer that for some reason shows up as a "free" user on the link you've posted. If this persists I'll be cnaceling my service as its gotten to the point where it too annoying to be paying a premium when I can't listen to the music in the order I want. Please respond today with a solution....there hasn't been any hickups in my payment every month and I've been dealing with this for at least two months now. On a side note, it is frustrating that the only way you can get support is from a forum. Thank you, I hope to hear from Spotify soon.

This did it for me! Can't thank you enough for responding with the solution and quickly.
Thaaaank you! I would have never figured that out on my own. I teach aerobic classes and so the order is critical and this problem was very frustrating. Thanks so much!
Thank You! Yes, wins bad UI design award.
