My Question or Issue

I've grown tired of waking up to the same song over and over every morning.
I've tried searching for solutions posted by other users with no luck.
Turning on shuffle from inside the app or doing a clean reinstall, nothing worked.
Could you try and help me resolve this one?

Hi there @ZivH,

Thanks for reaching out about this and welcome to the Community!

We recommend making sure that the playlist you've selected as an alarm sound has multiple songs and the Shuffle mode is turned on when you last used Spotify.

It's worth trying to log out, restart your device, and log back in the app.

Also, make sure that both Spotify and Clock don't have any pending updates. You can check this in the Play Store.

If the issue persists afterwards, can you give it a try on another phone and let us know if the same happens? We'd also like to know the Spotify version you're running on your original device.

Keep us posted. We'll be looking out for your reply.

I need some time to test it. I set the alarm to go off minute after minute and it did play a different song each time. I'll see how it goes for the duration of next week.
Also I didn't really do anything, it just fixed itself somehow.

And thank you for your reply. I appreciate the help.

Hey @ZivH,

You're welcome and thanks for keeping us in the loop.

We're glad to know that it's working fine now. 

If you need a hand with anything else, remember that we're just a reply away.

Have a lovely day 🙂

Great approach - to shuffle alarm - turn on shuffle in an app. But what if I don't like shuffle while using app usually. I just want the alarm to play a random song from the playlist. I don want to turn on shuffle in the app every time I go to bed and turn it off every time after. Isn't it obvious?
