How to Use Spotify Shuffle?
Spotify does not immediately choose the next song at random once you push the "Next" button. When you activated shuffle mode, the following song was already selected. Actually, the name "shuffle" is a really good description of how it operates. Consider how a deck of playing cards would be shuffled. All the songs on a playlist are shuffled into a different order when you click the shuffle button. Every time you press the shuffle button, this occurs. If you look at the queue, you can see this. I created a playlist of 10 songs, half of which are by the same artist, and five times set the playlist on shuffle. Each time, Spotify generated a different song list. You can easily see some of the problems people complain about even in this small sample size. The first two times I shuffled, the identical music appeared at the top of the list; this is an example of "random doesn't seem random." More crucially, the musician that appears five times in the playlist is never allocated equally. In two of the shuffles, in fact, four of the five tracks were combined.Leave a Reply
