3. Spotify Stop Shuffle Play

When listening to spotify on my s10+ as soon as I lock my screen with side button plays a little while then minute later it locks properly and doesn't play music until I touch the screen again have gone through all settings can find anything that is stopping it.

Hi, brand new Spotify Premium user here so bear with me! If I play music through the 'Music' app on my iPad and then switch to another app e.g. 'Safari' or 'Mail' then the 'Music' app keeps playing music. However, Spotify does not - it stops playing if I'm not actually in the Spotify app itself. Spotify is a digital music service that gives you access to millions of songs. I've got the same issue with my Nexus 6P. If I close Spotify ( swipe it from the app switcher) and reopen Spotifty it works as expected. I'm glad to hear its not just Nexus 6P related! Wow as a spotify user I am very excited for this custom player! Having to go into spotify to play the song again after watching the video is the only problem I have ever encountered with this app. Keep up the great work. Open Spotify and play something. Tap at the bottom of the screen. Tap the device you want to play to. Note: If you pause for more than 10 minutes you may need to reconnect. Not seeing the device you want in the device list? If you use an iPhone or iPad, make sure Spotify has access to your local network. Check in your iPhone/iPad settings under.

   Note: To set Spotify as your default podcast service, tap Choose default podcast service.

What the actual f*** is wrong with Spotify’s Shuffle?

You’re on the go (maybe in a little hurry) you hit up that carefully curated playlist on Shuffle mode.

Only to get after two to three songs that Spotify plays the same song over again and again, and the very idea of you having to take out your device and adjust your Spotify doesn’t really make life any easier.

It’s frustratingly annoying.

But don’t worry.

Just hit up that Marvin Gaye and I’ll show you how you can fix when your Spotify Shuffle play is not random. 🙂

How to Fix When Spotify Shuffle Play is Not Random : 5 Ways

Make sure to go from 1-5 accordingly

1.Restart your Spotify App

Step 1: Go ahead and Log Out from your Spotify account by heading to Your Library and then your Settings (gear icon) which is to your top right hand corner.

Step 2: Once you’ve logged out from your Spotify, restart your Spotify app by closing the app, and clearing it from your apps which are running in your background.

Step 3: Now after you’ve done all that, select your Spotify app and log back in.

Now try a playlist of yours if Spotify Shuffle is indeed shuffling your music.

If you find that Spotify Shuffle play is not random then move on to the next method.

2.Sort Your Tracks By Title

This one’s apretty popular one amongst the Spotify community and for some it has provided a fix to their music shuffling crisis.

Here’s how you do it

Step 1: Head over to your Spotify and select the playlist that you want to listen to.

Step 2: Now you’re in your playlist right? Okay. So what you do is swipe your finger down on the screen. You will see a Filter search bar at the top and a hamburger-like symbol to its right.

Step 3: Select that hamburger symbol and once you’re in, you can select how you would like to sort out your songs in your playlist. Just select Title.

Step 4: Now tap on that big green Shufflebutton in your playlist screen and see if your music plays randomly.

If you still feel that your music often plays the same song over and over again then.

3.Update Your Spotify App

Make sure that your Spotify app is updated to the latest version.

More often than not, the reason why your Spotify Shuffle play is not random is because Spotify could have already updated their Shuffle play algorithm and you’ll never know since you are on a older version of Spotify and when it still plays that same song over again and again.

I’ll show you how you can update your Spotify app whether you’re on iOS (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch) or Android.

If you’re on iOS

Step 1:Head over to your App Store.

Step 2: Then go on to the Updates tab to your far right hand side and check if your Spotify app needs to be updated.

If you’re on Android

Step 1: Go ahead and open your Google Play Store app.

Step 2: Next, tap the Menu symbol (yeah it’s the one that kinda looks like a hamburger). Then select My apps & games.

Step 3: Look for Spotify. If you see Update next to it, then select Update. If not your Spotify is already updated to the latest version.

That’s it. 🙂

Now try your Spotify again and hit up a playlist to see it if does shuffle your music randomly.

If it does, great!

If not, you are to going need to use your last resort.

4.Use Spotify Shuffler (It’s Free)

Basically Spotify Shuffler is a completely free (and safe) third party application which helps shuffle all your music for you much better than Spotify ever does.

The only caveat is though you’re going to need to return to Spotify Shuffler every time you want your music to be shuffled. (But if you’re going to listen to a 50-100 song playlist on the go, you don’t need to shuffle all that often right?).

I’ll show you how it works.

Step 1: Go ahead and login to your Spotify account via Spotify Shuffler.

Step 2: Signed in? Great! Now go ahead and choose any playlist you like and randomize it.

Plan Premium Device Acer Chromebook 11 Operating System Google Chrome(?) Spotify appears as a black screen when I open the app. I've tried clearing my cache and reinstalling Spotify, but it hasn't worked. The web player works fine, but I prefer using the app over it; could anyone help me figure th. /spotify-app-won-t-work-on-chromebook.html. If your Chromebook is Google Play Store Enabled, you can download the Android version of the Spotify app from the Google Play Store. Using the Spotify app on your Chromebook, you'll be able to download music for offline listening. If your Chromebook is not Google Play Store Enabled, your only option would be to use the web player. Also, there are some folks in this conversation referring to the Android Spotify app - which will work on Chromebooks that support Android Apps. There does not appear to be a problem with the Android App on Chrome OS. But there is a problem with the web player on Chrome OS.

Step 3: In order to listen to the playlist that you just randomized you need to listen to the playlist in your Spotify app with the shuffle turned off. (This is so that Spotify’s Shuffle doesn’t interfere with our already-randomized playlist)

That’s it!

Now just return to the site whenever you want to repeat the process when you would like your tracks in a new order. 🙂

If you get any errors then you can drop them an email on their Contact page and they’ll let you know if there is any maintenance with their service (it’s a free service after all).But if you find that the errors you get still doesn’t get fixed, then keep reading.

Even if you have tried all the 4 methods above and you find that it still doesn’t do the trick then you can always…

5. Switch to Apple Music or Google Play Music

Spotify Player App

I know this is not really a fix, but it is certainly indeed an option.

Both Apple Music and Google Play Music have a great algorithm to shuffle your music and both of which comes at the same price of Spotify at $9.99 or $14.99 with a Family Plan (up to six people).

Spotify Stop Shuffle Play

I’ll only encourage you to move if you really use Shuffle play almost everyday and if you just about had it enough with Spotify’s efforts of improving their Shuffle algorithm.
