RudraCNG 14,912 Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 For those saying "let people decide", did you read the tweet? She removed the shuffle button as the default option. You can still listen the album whatever the way you want, you can shuffle if you want, but it won't be the default option. Edit: well I don't know if they actually did something with that button, but I was able to set the shuffle option in her album. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Shuffle was the default for a long time on the free version. I don’t understand the outrage. You can still toggle shuffle when you are playing songs but the fact that it was the default alone is so stupid from a UX perspective especially.

I’m glad to see this change for Spotify. Are you sure you don’t have it set to play everything on shuffle? I don’t understand why they’ve completely removed the option. Of course if you’re listening to an album you should listen to it in order. It doesn’t make sense to me at least to shuffle albums. However, I don’t see why that means we should force people to do things that way. Removing it as the default option makes sense, but removing it entirely? It’s not hurting anyone to listen to music in shuffle. What kind of dictatorship nonsense is this I’m tired and angry but somebody should be Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a f*cking thrill when Chromatica II plays and I don't know if 911 will come on next or something else. Chromatica 2 into Million Reasons on my gaga playlist has been known to ruin my life for a week at a time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fans should be allowed to listen to any song they want in any order. The shuffle button is still there and it works. The only change is that it is not on by default. All you have to do is click on it. I applaud Adele for that decision. Some artists arrange the songs in an order because they are best listened to in that order. A classic example is Frank Sinatra's album Watertown. Every song is an independent song, yet the album tells a story if the songs are listened to in order. It is very wonderful. It's on Spotify. I live outside the space time continuum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ending of that sentence should have "unless they put shuffle back on". It's really not a complicated situation and I can't believe people are making such a big deal out of it. Shuffle was default for people using the free version of Spotify when they pressed play on an album. It is now not the default, so people visiting an album for the first time will hear it in order. Should somebody want to shuffle an album, they just press the shuffle button that is very much still there. Nobody is being forced to do anything.
