Next step: Adele gets Spotify to play only Top 40 hits over and over, except on College Spotify.
Times have changed. If you want an album to be played in order, number your song titles or something.
Why take control away from the user?
- chiefalchemist 5y agoNot being offensive... Because that's the difference between a "pop star" / "rock star" and an artist. The former is market driven. The latter driven by (creative) self. In this case the artist has an ideal about how her creativity must be communicated in order to understand the work. Madonna? For example, doesn't care as long as the money keeps rolling in :)

- newsbinator 5y agoI agree the default should be to play an album in the order in which it was arranged. Unless I've got my shuffle setting on. I wouldn't mind having the option to "shuffle always" vs "shuffle playlists but not albums". But in any case I'm a person who likes to listen to music on shuffle, whether or not its within an album. I prefer Spotify not take that power away from me.
