[Mobile][Playlists] Bring back the Enhance playlist feature

I understand that you replaced the "enhance playlist" button with 'Smart Shuffle'. The smart shuffle feature is a massive step back from how easy and useful the enhance feature was at finding new music to add to a playlist. The feature still exists on PC and laptop versions of spotify but it really needs to make a return to the phone app. 

 

Smart shuffle requires you to go to the playlist ques to see what was added instead of just showing you the songs that were added in the playlist. Please fix this feature!!

i hate this feature 😭 if i add a song they suggest while im listening it re shuffles my entire playlist again. like is the shuffle so smart if it cant just add a song without completely ruining my listening history. and especially with the way spotifys shuffle algorithm works it keeps bumping the same songs to the top of the shuffle so i keep hearing the same songs over and over again. there was no reason to change the enhance playlist feature

I don't understand why spotify changes features back and forth between the mobile and desktop applications. Smart shuffle is terrible, Enhance feature is wonderful! Both features have been implemented before, why not just make them both available for desktop&mobile, why choose, why limit..?

PLEASE bring back the enhance button. The smart shuffle is a HUGE step down from the enhance button.

Bringing back Spotify enhance feature on the app would make the app better. Spotify shuffle is not only annoying, because it happens when u are trying to take your playlist off shuffle but it also only adds the songs to the queue and you aren't able to see the songs added like with the enhance feature. The Spotify shuffle feature should be a separate button from the shuffle button and should be an alternative not a replacement for the far better and more enjoyable Spotify enhance feature.

Such a shame this has been nerfed. Was about the only remaining good way to discover new music and build my collections. and it worked soooo well. Could start from one particular song you jived with and end up with a two hour playlist!

Smart Shuffle is a complete**bleep** feature. It lacks functionality that Enhance had before, namely recommending more songs based on ones you decide to add from the Enhance feature. Smart shuffle constantly recommends me the same songs I have no interest in and it’s much harder to get them to stop being recommended as you now have to go into Queue. The recommendations in general are also worse.

Thank goodness someone else mentioned this. I was really happy with the enhance feature and the + & - buttons to easily add songs to my playlist. Why was that changed? Please can we go back to the older feature. Its been bugging me for a while and that's the only reason i actually joined the community to get that feature brought back.

Man, i miss this feature already. Smart shuffle fails after adding one song, and often doesn't even work. Meanwhile "Enhance" has let some of my playlists grow with artists that I would outside not have found. I'm hoping i can downgrade the app again - otherwise might as well just cancel Premium if they can't decide on what features I as a customer should be allowed to use.

Now it takes me more than 30 seconds to turn off shuffle, because it keeps spinning when I DON'T EVEN WANT SMART SHUFFLE, but I'm forced to go through it! What's worse, when you finally turn off shuffle it just DELETES all your playing queue!!!!! If you really care about your users, please bring back the old separate “enhance playlist” button, that will add suggested songs into playlist without messing with the plying queue and without wasting our time.
