Shuffling an artist's entire catalogue on iphone

[jtb1980]

Is there a way to shuffle all songs by a particular artist on iphone? When I press the shuffle button for a band, I only get their top 10 songs. I have Spotify Unlimited for my desktop and Spotify Free for my iphone. Is this a premium feature because if it is I'll gladly upgrade.

Strange I thought it should have played all songs. Does the same thing happen on all artists?

I've reported this problem for a long time, Peter. I thought everyone knew that there was a huge problem with shuffle. How long do we have to wait for a solution to this?

I don't work for Spotify, so no idea! Personally, I don't ever use the shuffle button on artist pages.

I've tried about a dozen artists and this happens with all of them. The play button on the desktop application works as it should, this only happens with the iphone.

OP was talking about the shuffle button.  I've experimented, and I do not see this behavior on my iPhone with the latest Spotify ios app installed.  So it might be something sporadic, or possibly account related (just a guess on that one).The play button, in my experience, goes through the top 10, then through the ablum colection, in the order of most recent first (but most recent is not necessarily the most recently released, just the most recently added to spotify).

EDIT:  I mised that you said you had Spotify Unlimited: Unlimited will only play in shuffle mode for artists on iphone.  The question is: is the shuffle mode for those on the Unlimited plan limited to the top 10, or the entire artist's catalog?  I'll escalate this and see if I can get an answer for you.

Hi all, I've been told that the tech guys at Spotify will be asked to look into this.
