[All Platforms][Other] Button on play queue to shuffle current selections

[zardox]

Currently, in the panel "Playing from play queue" below "Now playing," if there are any selections queued, there is a listing titled "Next in Queue" with one option "Clear Queue".

My request - 

Add an additional button labeled "Shuffle", have it appear only if there is more than one selection in the queue. Pressing this "shuffle" button does a random sort of the selections currently in the queue.

Note : selections below in the "Next from" section are not included, no change is made to their order.

I need this because I routinely make a selection of singles and albums from several artists but I want then to shuffle the selections. This is kind of like building a playlist on the fly.

1. An alternate idea would be to have a button that transfers selections in the queue to a playlist. But that is less preferable because I don't want a new playlist to be added

I think there should be a button to shuffle the songs you already have in your queue. Sometimes you find yourself adding lots of songs to the queue and it can be a pain to try to mix up the 20+ songs you worked hard to find. In addition to this many people queue entire playlist or album, if songs are already queued it would great to mix them. I’d love to hear feedback on this idea, let me know.

Hey!

Your idea was submitted a while ago and unfortunately didn't receive the amount of kudos needed to stay active in the ideas board (50 Kudos in the last 3 months). 

In order to keep the Ideas Exchange clearer I'll close this idea for now, but this doesn't mean Spotify rejected this idea.

Other Spotifyers will still have the opportunity to leave a like on your idea and should it reach enough votes, it'll become a Live Idea again 🙂

Have a nice day!

I got an idea while using Spotify! We can add a track, an album, a playlist in our queue but we can't make it shuffle... It's a pity, it would be enough to go to our queue and have a 'shuffle' button.
Thanks

Years ago you were able to shuffle your queue. I liked this feature a lot and was sad when it was taken away. it's nice because how I may want to listen to specific songs, I am usually indifferent to the sequence of them unless I'm listening to an album -- and would rather them be shuffled a lot of the time. This feature is nice for hanging out with friends, car rides, parties, and workouts. ESPECIALLY with the new feature of multiple devices being able to add songs to the same queue.

I feel like that there should be a shuffle add to queue button for playlist and albums. So it would add a playlist or album to queue, but shuffle it 🙂

Sometimes I find a lot of new songs, and I add them to “liked songs” or a playlist. If I want to only listen to the songs I have recently discovered I’ll have to listen to them in the same order every time because I can’t shuffle play them. It would be better and easier to be able to mark songs and then shuffle play the songs you’ve marked. Then you don’t need to shuffle play all your liked songs or your whole playlist every time, or to add every single song you want to listen to to the queue.

Shuffle Selected:

With a simple Tap & Hold of the Shuffle button, users will get entered into the ‘Shuffle Selected Mode’. In this mode, users will have the ability to select a Start point and End point in their playlist, highlighting one specific section of their playlist to be shuffled. After selecting their Start and End point, a simple tap of the Shuffle button will save their selections and shuffle the selected area.

Every user has a span of their playlist that includes some of their most listened to songs, or some of their favorite new songs/podcasts, ‘Shuffle Selected’ will give the users the ability to focus on that section and shuffle through the songs that they want to hear in that moment.

I really want this option.

But I guess I am too old wanting to tracks to the current Playlist, like with winamp.

Like the sort albums @ years,it also is isn't still available.

i would like to be able to shuffle my queue. for example when im looking trough my music i will add some song from certain artists to my queue but i dont want to hear them in that order. so i have to just manually shuffle them wich is really annoying.

I have been listening to digital music since the early 90s. A Queue is a "temporary playlist" and should have all the functionalities of a playlist. 

The queue is for adding a collection of songs (mostly whole playlists or albums) to listen too together. Spotify, you are the only ones not doing it right. 

Some people like it in order it was added others like it shuffled. I miss Winamp.....
