When you click on the album cover it expands the photo by a little and you can move it around. What if you can flip it to see the back cover from vinyl record.

here are my attempts of this idea.

I would really love yall to support this feature.

I wasn’t notified that this person started a chat with me. There are songs in the chat that were shared from WhatsApp years ago, and then a song sent at the time of this message request.

A song was sent at the same time, says shared off Spotify.

Question Understanding the Spotify Shuffle Algorithm

2 Upvotes

I've been using Spotify for years and use a massive playlist of over two thousand songs I am constantly adding to. I've noticed and known for years that the Spotify Shufflewus far from random, but it especially has a tendency to only really select songs from like 5-10% of the playlist, leaving the rest untouched. It has gotten to a point where this is extremely infuriating. Is there anything I can do to improve this? If I need to remake new play lists in random order and play without shuffle on is there some tool I can use for that? I ask this later question because the playlist is so massive. In high school I spent hundreds of hours painstakingly alphabetizing it on a then barely functioned web app before they added the ability to automatically alphabetize, and I simply do not have the time to do it all by hand in a random order since I'm now in college.

Thanks for any information anyone can provide! I really should have come here years ago since this has been something really bothering me for years

Rant Why is Spotify turning into YouTube

Post image
• Upvotes

I don't want to see any videos on this app I use Spotify to listen to music and If I want to see videos I use YouTube. I really hate how all apps nowadays are turning into each other and they all try to be the "everything app" and this just makes everything worse. I noticed the same with Netflix for example.

Does anyone know how to turn off the videos?

Rant What the hell is going on

132 Upvotes

I've been using Spotify for almost a decade now, and NEVER before has this app been so inconsistent on performance and general use. Lately I can't even listen on a goddamn playlist on random because it keeps saving music on queue from other playlists, even though I DIDN'T PUT IT THERE. So now, everytime I hit play on something, I just have to accept that I won't listen to that thing I'm hitting play on. Maybe 2026 is the year I'll backup all my playlists and move to Youtube Music.

Question Playlists not shuffling, shuffle not working, and repeat turning off. Is there a fix?

1 Upvotes

I have tried many different solutions (clearing cache, relogging, restarting my computer, logging out of all sessions).

I have multiple playlists and this happens with all of them including liked songs. Small and big playlists. Albums too.

If I click on a song and click "repeat", the repeat button will flash for a moment before setting itself to repeat. If I click on another song or click on the playlist again, it does not save the designated "repeat" that was there before like it used to.

When double clicking on the playlist, it "shuffles" to a "random" song. I do not have automix on, this is not a case of it just playing similar songs, it's the exact same queue every time. It will shuffle to a random song, and if I double click again, it will go to the same song with the same next-up. If I turn off shuffle, and then click the playlist, instead of playing the first song, it will still play the song it previously chose.

If I click to go to the next song, it will now only shuffle from those two songs.

I like to double click playlists to shuffle them, but this has made that function unusable.

This is on the PC app.
I have premium, if that matters.

Question Cross fade stopped working?

1 Upvotes

I’ve literally done every recommended option posted online and it’s still playing the songs till the very end? I’ve messed with shifting the slider up and down, tried uninstalling, tried logging in and out and turning off my phone, tried turning different options off like gapless playback, Etc. As dumb as it is this was genuinely the only reason I liked Spotify but if this isn’t going to be fixed I’d rather pay for something cheaper. Anyone else going through the same thing? I’ve heard it might have something to do with the apps now running A.I which is ridiculous.

Question Shuffle Acts Weird

2 Upvotes

Okay so, recently (about 2 days ago) the shuffle has been acting weird.
Last night or so, I opened Spotify to listen to music, and since I ran out of ’picks’ (you get to choose your song), I just clicked on songs in my recently searched and shuffled them.
About the 3rd-4th time of doing this, I noticed each song kept playing the EXACT same reccomendation. Like, I’d click on song 1, it’d tell me ‘you can’t pick this song you’ve ran out of picks’ and then it’d play song 2. No matter how many times I reclicked song 1, it kept reccomending song 2. And it’d do this for EVERY song on the list.
I have updated the app and deleted and reinstalled, and it’ll actually randomize for a second before going right back to only reccomending one song.
Has anyone else had this issue with the randomizer not randomizing and staying locked to one song, or just me?

News Anyone up for a Spotify Jam?

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I’m starting a Spotify Jam to share and discover electronic music together!

There’s no strict genre limit. Trance, psytrance, techno, industrial, hard techno, dance, ambient, and pretty much anything electronic is welcome.

Feel free to join and add whatever tracks you like! No need to stick to one specific style.

The idea is simply to enjoy some good music, discover new artists, and share tracks we might never have found otherwise.

No rules, no fixed genre, just electronic music and good vibes.

Spotify Jam link: (DM)

Everyone’s welcome!

I found a cool playlist belonging to a friend of a friend that I have never talked to and I want to save it, but I'm wondering if they'll get notified and if they do, will it show the user who started following their playlist?

Rant Spotify completely skipping my queue

1 Upvotes

Listening to a playlist on shuffle right now. Then got down a rabbit hole of adding a bunch of songs manually to my queue. And TWICE, after adding a single song to my playlist, it kills the queue and skips the 20 songs I’ve just spent 5 minutes queuing up. Just updated my app. Let’s see if that helps solve this bug

(And yes, Reddit AI - I am a Spotify premium user)

Question My account doesn't exist

For about a year I was paying a different rate and currency instead of in USD because I moved countries, but then one day I forgot to pay a proxy so a payment was missed. On the desktop app I got logged out, and when I tried to sign in it says my email isn't associated with an account even though it is, same thing on a browser

My spotify app on my phone however is still logged in but the songs and stuff are all greyed out. Additionally, because I can't login on a browser, I can't pay for premium again

Am I done for

Question Spotify replaced half the songs on an album on a playlist with different versions, even though the original versions are still available on Spotify

3 Upvotes

So I have a large playlist made by me of all the songs I've ever liked. It has about 1200 songs on it, including many albums from musicals. One such album is the Lightning Thief Original Cast recording. This album is still on spotify and all songs on it are available in my region.

I was listening to this playlist on shuffle when I heard one of these songs and thought it sounded wrong. So I went to the playlist and the version that was playing was the London Original Cast recording from several years later, with all different singers and located on a totally different album with different cover art. And somehow, about half the songs on my playlist from the Original Cast recording were replaced, not by me, with the London recording. Again, different album, artists etc. I went to check on the original album to see if maybe those songs weren't available in my region, but they totally are. So I deleted the London version off the playlist and added the original ones, and they play just fine.

So what happened? This is located pretty deep in the playlist, and I don't go back and edit it. I would not have changed this.

Question Spotify playing when I open tiktok/go between profiles back to fyp

Does anybody have this problem, or a way to fix it? I am on Android, and when I have my Bluetooth headphones connected, Spotify will play at random even if I do/did not have the app open originally. I have yet to find a decent fix for it.
