Shuffle problem with iPhone app

[ScottParky]

There doesn't seem to be a Shuffle option. When you turn it on there is no option to turn it off.

This means every playlist you select shuffles songs unless you delete the app and re-install.

Is there a solution to this?

You should be able to turn shuffle off, yes.  First, while playing something in your playlist, tap the "i" button in the upper left:

Once you've done that, the shuffle button should be on the lower right.  Tap that, and it should turn from green grey.  Your playlist should now no longer shuffle.

Wow, thanks for your help!

How can I get my iphone off of shuffle play? It won't "unshuffle on my playlists or my starred list. Help!

JRock1970,

I've moved your post into an existing topic discussing this issue. Please see the above posts, and reply as to whether or not that works for you.

The solution works, but shuffling one album should not make all my music default to shuffle forever.  I just wanted to shuffle the one time.  Everyday, I am NOT shufflin!

You're awesome... thank you! I been shufflin' all week and not happy about it!

It would be helpful if you told us, or linked us to, the existing topic discussing this issue, because I haven't found it yet.

Spotify always, ALWAYS, shuffles my playlists. I don't want them to shuffle. I put them in a particular order for a reason. Is there a simple fix for this?? I swear shuffle is turned off on my app.

Ok, i think this IS the actual thread and I'm happy to report the fix above worked. Strange that the active shuffle icon is burried there. Thanks!

Just see the reply above from jvanderb.

Wow, thank you OP, this was driving me bananas for the past six months.  I swear I selected every single screen, but the main shuffle icon just shuffled the songs and started playing them.  This is a TERRIBLE user experience. 

Of course, I must have turned this on originally, so I likely have myself to blame for the original state 🙂

Thanks again!

i want to shuffle my play list on my HTC Android phone. Can someone help me do this?

[VeganGeek]

Thanks! It was most helpful! Right now I'm listening to the Phantom of the Opera and whole thing is ruined by having it shuffled!

Thank you soooo much!! This has been making me crazy! 🙂

I 100% agree that it's weird that the shuffle/unshuffle icon is buried within a song.  There should be an option in PLAYBACK to shuffle or not... 

Irritating.

Thanks for explaining this one. I have spent many hours on the London Underground trying to turn shuffle off! Not intuitive - definately worth updating the interface. Apart from that love the iPhone app.

This has been driving me crazy, since it has shuffling all my playlists even when I press and press again and gain that shuffle play button in the playback mode. We should not have to go to info to see if its on shuffle or not, why is it hidden there? Why can't the shuffle play button turn another colour if it is on like the hidden one? The problem is that you cannot tell if it is on or not since it stays the same and keeps shuffling...

It's nice to know HOW to resolve this - but whoever designed the iOS app to mimic web settings needs to rethink that as a feature. Syncing playlists is one thing, automatically importing the settings you may or may not have used the last time you were on the web, and then pannign them across ALL of your playlists is annoying.

The solution work, but why dont the "Shuffle Play" icon on the top of the screen change to something else ?
