Hey folks,

 

"Playing recommended songs for you" is caused by the Autoplay feature. If Autoplay on desktop is controlling the feature's behavior across all platforms, try disabling it on the desktop app to see if that does the trick.

 

Smart Shuffle is another feature that keeps your listening sessions fresh by mixing in recommendations that match the vibe and if you've enabled it, Spotify will add tracks and personalized recommendations.

 

@Webrenner, if your playlist has less than 15 tracks in it, the mobile app will add similar songs to extend its duration. It's worth mentioning that Spotify adds songs to playlists and albums on the free mobile version and the more you listen, the better suggestions you get. You can check here for more info.

 

Hope this clears things up. Cheers!

**bleep** this doesn't work on my phone and I have almost 5000 songs in my playlist WHY does it still add random stuff

I don’t have premium so I can only have it one one shuffle setting. It’s the two arrows with a fit under them. Is there anything else I can do? Because before Spotify changed their app, I could listen to my playlists without recommended songs as long as it was an hour long.
