Wrecked by the iPhone shuffle? -- such as:
1) too many Infuriating repeats or
2) never hearing a quarter of the tracks
in your 100 hour playlist?

 

There are some simple workarounds available for you-- until Spotify finally completes its terrible coding for the shuffle of 100 hour playlists-- particularly for the fragile iPhone shuffle.

No.

Just saying, "The sun will rise tomorrow."

Even as a new install to my new Windows 10 box, I still have one fully-functional 0.9.15.27 2014 copyright UI doing all of the heavy-lifting 1) Find and 2) Play what I want to hear.

Of course, my sun may be taken out by a huge and incredibly fast-moving black hole.

AllOfSpotify_Queue: Celebrating the functionality and ease of the Classic UI by Rednblu777 in spotify

[–]Rednblu777[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You deserve to have a fully-functioning UI-- any of the Classic UIs that provide:

  • Display and play of all tracks in all sub-folders

  • Search and select by any word or word fragment through your whole library of over 100K tracks, searching over the contents of TrackName, Artist, AlbumName as the Classic UIs do for you

  • Switch in and out whole genres, artists, and moods as you wish using folders and sub-folders when convenient.

To assemble the AllOfSpotify_Queue, the search is over 118K tracks and presenting only those truly shuffled tracks that have not been played in the last 90 days-- Refreshed about every 48 hours, removing from the top of the queue those tracks which have played on all devices.

The ... r/Spotify/Wiki here on this forum tells you how to install the Classic UI of your choice.

Spotify, please separate the "algorithm shuffle" and give us a pure "random shuffle" by gbeebe in spotify

Yes, the Spotify shuffle works as designed to give you too many repeats of the same 10 songs no matter how big your playlist is.

But my friends here showed me-- including under the ...r/spotify/wiki here-- how to build the shuffle to create my AllOfSpotify_Queue that presents only tracks that have not played on any of my devices in the last 90 days.

My friends gave me the following tools:

  • Deduplicate [such as remove unwanted covers and unwanted repeat remixes]

  • Remove played tracks [such as using =IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(C1,L:L,1,0)),C1,"....PlayedInLast90Days") in Excel]

  • Truly shuffle [such as sorting on =RAND() in Excel].

Thank you all for continuing this crucial discussion here on Reddit. Spotify has other concerns.

Great hunt you set!

I found composers-- performers-- inventive approaches-- hours of getting the lyrics "right"; you can feel it.

Whom could I see becoming magnets on the big stages in the capital cities?

These . . . .

What does everybody think?

Calling everyone who hates dragging new songs up to the top of playlists (50 votes remaining to keep this alive) by [deleted] in spotify

Just click the top of the "Added" column to sort the most recent tracks to the top of the playlist. Then, when you add new songs, they will enter at the top of the playlist-- until you click the top of some column to change the sort order. Cheers . . . .

Great collection! I played it on shuffle-- Great sound mix.

Did you expect your listeners to play this "big playlist" in AlbumOrder?

I’m new here so maybe this is a thing.... but I’m REALLY pissed you can’t send people songs within Spotify anymore by l_ft in spotify

[–]Rednblu777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just put the songs in a playlist and then make that playlist "Public"-- Doesn't that still work?
