"Liked songs" on Alexa are ALWAYS played in shuffle mode :-(

[Der_Groddi]

On my Alexa devices, when I request that my "liked songs" (the songs you give a "heart" to) are being played then it always plays it with SHUFFLE ON and starts with one random song.
This is downright frustrating for me because I always want to start with the first song (the one that was added most recently). Any way to change it?

At the moment I have to open the APP on mobile or desktop, disable shuffle and restart the list with the first song. And because I cannot control this without any device I listen a lot less to my music, which s**ks (pardon my language).

Oh, FYI: Amazon support claims that this is totally not their doing (which I - quite frankly - do not believe)

Hi there @Der_Groddi,

Thanks for reaching out about this in the Community!

Currently Alexa speakers play Liked Songs in Shuffle mode by default. This is not something that can be controlled directly from the Spotify app. You can try asking Alexa via voice command to "Turn off Shuffle mode" once you start playing your liked songs. Note that this will have to be done every time you start the playlist.

There are other users on the Community who want this to be changed. You can check out their Idea thread here. Feel free to add your +Vote.

Hope this helps. Don't hesitate to reach out again if you have questions.

Now Alexa plays my liked songs always in order, which is flat out horrible. Same song every time and needs two more commands to get a random one. How do I change this back?

I guess it was you the main reason why it changed and ruined everything... it was way better because the

liked songs are not only one pllaylistart thousands of music
