So I use Spotify radio at the gym, i use the station for artists based on Doctor P (it's good gym music). It appears that the algorithym used to randomise tracks is broken. I constantly get to a point (never sure when it'll happen) where the radio station will recycle ALL of the tracks I have literally just gone through. Whilst it's not a big issue, it does become a pain when I have to skip past the last 20 songs I've just listened to. Sometimes I end up in an infinite loop and I have to quit the station, close the app and then restart to hear a new set of 10-20 songs before they're repeated..
Does anyone else have this problem?
I'm running iOS 7.1.1 with Spotify version 1.1.0.2549
Cheers in advance!

I have noticed this issue over the last few weeks on my iPhone 5 and it is frustrating. Let's say I create a new station based on a specific band or song. When I launch that station later (it could be the same day, tomorrow, etc), the EXACT same songs are played in the EXACT same order as the previous session. I have to skip through the songs played previously to get to any new songs. I end up eventually deleting my stations and create new stations.
The selection of songs is not impressive either, as kle5071 stated. I would excpect to hear the same song once a month, not several times in the same day.
I am having this issue as well. I love the '80's music and enjoy listening to this radio station. After about 10-15 songs, the songs start repeating; even if I shuffle and skip through those songs, it just keeps repeating, its and infinite loop. I eventually get frustrated and give up and switch to another station or playlist. I am using iPhone 5S.
