Spotify for PS3 does not preload all songs in large playlists, causes Shuffle to break

Spotify for PS3 does not preload all songs in large playlists, causes Shuffle to break

Normally on my PC, I can shuffle through all tracks in a playlist, even if it's a big one. I have a playlist with about 1500 songs in it, but when I try to play something from Spotify on my PS3, it only loads the first 20-30 songs which prevents me from shuffling through any of the remaining 1475 tracks. So this causes me to have to listen to those same 30 songs over and over or I have to sit there holding the left thumbstick on my controller to the right until it's loaded enough music that I actually get a variety.

 

This is something I have to do every time I use Spotify on my PS3 and having been a premium subscriber in the past, this is a big factor in why I got rid of my subscription. The PS3 Spotify app also seems to run kind of slow, especially when scrolling through tracks. If there were a separate List option rather than showing the Album Art for each song scrolled through, that'd probably make it load faster.

I have the same issue and it makes the playlist function useless for larger playlists. If there's a solution for this I'd really like to know.
