Shuffle a large Playlist does not work

Plan: Premium

Country: CH (Switzerland)

Device: Pixel 6 Pro

Operating System: Android 13

Spotify version: 8.7.74.443

I've noticed for some time that the shuffle function no longer works.

The same songs are always taken from my playlist and the others are ignored by the shuffle function.

Hey there @Bananenstrudel

 

Thanks for getting in touch about this and welcome to the Community.

 

We can confirm that in large playlists the shuffle option prioritizes the songs that Spotify perceives you listen to most, that's why some songs can come up repeatedly. However, there's this live idea about this topic.  You can add your vote by clicking on the Thumbs up icon, if you'd like to have this option in the future. The Idea Exchange is a great way for us to see what our users are interested in and how many people like a certain idea.
