Hey @TenColomboAlParterre,

 

Thanks for reaching out.

 

One of the differences between Premium and Free is the ability to play all your music without Shuffle. As a Free user, most of the playlists you see can only be played in Shuffle mode. This does not apply for Spotify on desktop.

 

Spotify provides Free users with some Pick and Play Playlists which can be played on-demand, without Shuffle:

  • These playlists can be found under Home > Made For You/Recommended For You.
  • Pick and Play playlists will include some of the most popular curated playlists on Spotify, such RapCaviar, as well as personalized playlists like Daily Mix. You cannot choose which playlists are Pick and Play, but Spotify will include a few editorial playlists that align with your taste.

For more info about the Free service, check out this page.

 

Hope this clears things up ๐Ÿ™‚

My problem is that if I want to liststen JUST a single song, I cant because spotify is playing a automix of this and many other songs.

Hi there,

 

Welcome to the Spotify Community!

 

Sounds like you're using the free version of Spotify on your phone. Note that the mobile app doesn't fully support on-demand playback for free users, which is why the songs you search for are shuffled with other similar ones.

 

You can still pick and play any song you want via the Web Player or the desktop app - just make sure Autoplay is disabled.

 

Cheers!

If i click on my 80โ€™s music playlist and hit play, none of the songs on the list plays. I also cant click on a single song and have the correct one play.

  1. I still miss choosing a song and playing that song not waiting through 2 other songs first.

If your phone allows you to view the page in desktop mode then you should be able to play without shuffling.
