My Question or Issue

I have added at least 30 songs to all of my playlists but after a few songs, it will start to play suggested songs that I have never interacted with before. When I go to click play on the playlist again hoping to get back to my music, it says the playlist is already playing so I can't do anything. I used up all of my skips hoping I could skip back to my actual playlist but it just kept giving me suggested songs. I can't have queued these songs because I have never heard or searched them before. I end up listening to lots of ads just to then listen to music that I don't even want to hear.

Hey @PhoebsandIvy,

 

Thank you for reaching out to the Community and welcome. 

 

If you're on the free tier, this could be an expected behavior taking into account that Smart Shuffle is ON by default in some countries. Since the feature adds tracks to your playback that you might like, this could explain why you're listening to recommendations instead of the songs listed on the playlist. You can identify if the Smart shuffle feature is ON by checking the icon with a sparkle on the Shuffle button (). You can check out all the info in this article

 

If you’re seeing the icon, but your country is not listed on the article, it could be related to a test and you might be seeing something new that could be implemented in the future. 


Hope this helps. If anything else comes up, don't hesitate to ask.

Everytime I try to listen to my liked songs it only plays songs that are recommended. It hasn’t played an actual liked songs in about 4 days.
