Spotify Fixes Shuffle: No More Endless Repeats
Stockholm, Sweden – Spotify has rolled out an update to its shuffle feature, addressing long-standing user complaints about repetitive song playback. The revamped shuffle algorithm aims for a more balanced listening experience, ensuring a wider variety of tracks within playlists are heard. The change impacts normal shuffle and is designed to reduce the frequency of repeated songs.
For years, Spotify’s shuffle wasn’t truly random, frequently enough favoring popular tracks and leaving lesser-known songs unheard. This update corrects that imbalance, offering a fairer chance for all songs within a playlist to be played. Users need to ensure they are using “normal shuffle” – indicated by the absence of sparkles around the shuffle icon – to experience the new, less-repetitive system and avoid recommendations from Smart Shuffle.
The update benefits both listeners and artists. For listeners, it means more variety and a more engaging experience. For artists, particularly emerging ones, it provides increased visibility within larger playlists. Previously,plays were heavily concentrated on the top tracks of a playlist,burying smaller artists and new releases.
How to Enable the New Shuffle:
* Ensure Normal Shuffle is Active: Tap the shuffle icon on the Now Playing screen until the sparkles disappear. this deactivates Smart Shuffle, which adds recommendations.
Spotify now distributes playback more evenly, giving every track a fairer opportunity to be heard. The company also offers lossless audio listening, and users can make playlists public by editing the playlist settings and toggling the ”public” option.
For those looking to expand their reach, Playlist Push offers services for TikTok music promotion and Spotify playlist promotion.
