Songs playing outside of list

Songs playing outside of list

I have created a customized playlist. Recently, there are random songs that play outside of my list. They are songs that I have never played before and are unknown to me. They just start playing automatically. Why is this happening and how can I get it to stop?

Hey @mizzjanejane

 

Alright, thanks! Could you head to: 'My Library > Settings > Playback'. On the bottom, there should be an option called AutoPlay, could you turn that off? Do you still see unwanted tracks after that? Let me know!

Keep rockin'! 🙂

Hey @mizzjanejane! Welcome to the community!

 

Hmm, it sounds like suggested songs are playing. Suggested songs are songs based on what you're listening. Suggested songs won't play on Spotify Premium. If you haven't had Premium before, check out the free trial!SpotifyPremium_twitter.png

Take care! 🙂

Hi, 

 

I am having this same problem however I have a Premium account? 

 

It is really frustrating as it means I have to turn off shuffle and play songs in the exact order they are in an album or playlist to avoid listening to songs that I don't want to...

 

Thanks

Hmm, it sounds like there might be some songs stuck in your queue. Could you check if that's the case: Queue-twitter.pngThanks, take care! 🙂

But I have a Premium account 😞

Hey @mizzjanejane!

That's not alright! So, just to confirm, this happens between the tracks you're playing in your playlist. Could you take a screenshot of the Now Playing view whenever an unwanted track pops up?

 

Thanks, take care!

Here is one song that randomly played. This is not listed in my playlist. When I start up my playlist, I usually just hit "Shuffle Play". It usually plays one or two songs from the list and then all of a sudden a random song not on the list.

Thank you! It worked! I wonder if this was a new update I did not know about becuase it just started happening a few days ago.

Thanks for this! Clearing the queue worked!
