My Question or Issue

As of today, I can no longer shuffle all of my liked songs (from 'liked releases') from an artist. Is there a way to do this without adding each individual song to my 'liked songs'?

Hey @Attackcat,

Thanks for posting in the Community.

Let's first make sure we understand where you're looking in the app and for which exact feature. Could you post a screenshot?

In the meantime you can always add songs to a playlist and shuffle it.

Keep us posted.

Cheers!

Yeah it's unfortunate Spotify constantly remove ways to sort through music. 

So now when we have liked albums by artist and click into them, it only shows the albums and not the songs in each album so there is not shuffle option. We have to click into an individual album and shuffle that, but we can't shuffle all songs between albums. It shouldn't be hard to easily choose whether you want to shuffle all song by an artist, liked songs or separate albums without relying and creating playlists

I don't understand why they would intentionally do that... Why does it have to be so complicated?

Please Spotify! It is extremely annoying to be creating individual playlists for an artist with the songs I've "liked" and their albums which have been "liked" also. It should not be tricky to just shuffle an artist's "liked" songs on mobile. It used to work, but now it's been a few months of not working. Please fix this.

My Question or Issue

When going into liked songs from an artist page it will list the individual liked songs and liked album titles but not the songs from the albums. Before it used to show all the songs from every album together on one page. I assume this is some sort of new feature but it is very frustrating because I am someone who likes to listen through all of an artists music but now I am not able to do that unless I go though and like every individual song or create a playlist with every song in it. Please revert it back to the way it was.

Exactly! What was the point of spending all that time liking the releases? It's useless now lol. I do not have time to make a playlist for each artist 😞

Here is an example. In the red circled area there used to be a play button with option to toggle on/off shuffle. Now you can't play all the "liked releases" you've saved from an artist.

My Question or Issue

When I use spotify on my phone it now splits my liked songs for an artist into songs that I've liked individually and 'liked releases' for cases where I have 'liked' a whole album. 

Is this an intentional design choice to encourage people to listen to a full album? I would like to also have the option to put all of the songs I have liked by an artist on shuffle, including those that are within a full release that I have liked. I don't want to have to unlike a full release and then go through and like each song individually.

I have the same issue. Spotify's UI needs some major work. This was my most-used feature and was the only way to ACTUALLY shuffle through all of an artist's songs (which is crazy - why is there no "SHUFFLE PLAY" button on an artist's page anymore). Please bring this back and/or bring back a feature to truly shuffle ALL songs from an artist across all their albums (we shouldn't even need to "like" them first).

I can't believe this feature doesn't exist. Why can't I just click on the artist, click on the linked songs by that artist and then got shuttle to randomly play them? 

Apple music has that feature and it's really useful. Just mind-blowing that I should have to create a play list for every artist when Spotify already knows the songs I like but the artist in question 🤬

I am building an artist shuffle app for spotify, which is a little different than this idea. But this form asks for other features you'd like to see. My end goal is to make an app that adds all the functionality back to spotify that spotify doesn't have. So fill it out and let me know!
