My favorite version of this is that shuffle mode is really hard to implement for music . You can’t use random sort because it leads to too many repetitions of songs close together. When that happens people complain that your shuffle isn’t random enough.
- colinmhayes 6y agoThis, but spotify's shuffle is actually horrendous. It only plays songs within something like 50 of the one it's on. If you have a multi-hundred playlist you'll only hear the same 50 songs if you put it on shuffle and click the first song until it's finished with all 50 of those songs. Then it'll go to the next 50.
- tylerk 6y agoI am amazed that it has remained so bad for so long! I find it very frustrating and have resorted to copying playlists into a text line shuffler and re-adding the songs...
- hinkley 6y agoRandom and shuffle are two very different actions (pick a card vs take the top card). I mean it’s even in the name. Shuffle.
