Shuffle play was bad before the update and now its worse. On my 442 song playlist, the same 30 or 35 tracks play over and over again and the other 400 songs I have barely heard once. I have had to delete songs because shuffle play was choosing them everytime I would listen. Spotify developers say shuffle play is random but how is repeating the same 35 songs over and over random. For some reason there is a higher probability of certain songs playing than others. This is a major flaw in the system. The shuffle play programs needs to be totally overhauled, it is awful

This is still a problem 5 years after this post? You’re competing with Apple Music and tidal and amazon music for suscibers and are asking for people to use workarounds for functions as simple as shuffle?
Yall should be Embarrassed. I’m embarrassed to own stock in Spotify.
