I assume it's related to revenue somehow. They could hide true shuffle somewhere deep in settings, not on by default, whatever..
I spend a good portion of my time changing playlists and restarting playlists just to get around their fake shuffle, and I still end up hearing repeated songs. It's extremely frustrating. I even tried out Amazon music, ready to make the switch, but my family members don't want to move with me, so I'm just dealing with Spotify for now. May end up paying for my own Amazon/Other music service as well.
- InitialLastName 2y agoI think you're proving my point: Even you, someone who cares enough about the issue to work around it, continue to give them your money. I don't think what they're doing is my preference, but you can find complaints about the shuffle algorithms for every major music playback platform. What would be a more generalized solution might be to pick up the "Smart Playlist" concept that iTunes has had for a long time, so you can work around the repeats with a "Last played > 2 days ago" filter.
- burnerthrow008 2y ago> but my family members don't want to move with me Could you expand on that? Does Spotify have family plans or something?
