My Question or Issue

Has anyone been able to put together a long playlist that actually shuffles the songs?  I have a playlist with 1200 songs and every time I hit "Shuffle Play" it ends up playing the same couple hundred songs.  It's 80 hours long, so I practically never listen to the whole thing before jumping into another playlist.  It's really irritating that they don't ACTUALLY shuffle the songs and instead use the stupid algorithms to try and give me what they think I want, which is not what I actually want.

Hi there @dmanthei,

Thank you for reaching out to the Community.

For more info and troubleshooting steps to try regarding Shuffle, we'd recommend taking a look at this Spotify Answer. If that doesn't do the trick, we suggest that you perform a clean reinstall of the app. This will make sure there's no old cache files causing this.

We'd also recommend taking a look at our Ideas Exchange where you can add your +VOTE and Subscribe to this related thread. All the useful updates will be shared there.

Let us know if we can help you with anything else.

Take care!

Your non answer is bad and you should feel bad. I understand that Spotify's shuffle is not truly random, but it is far beyond less than random. It was never "great" for me, but it has gotten much worse in the past month.
