How to shuffle a Spotify playlist
Listening to the same song over and over can get boring. Sometimes it’s more fun when your favorite tunes play in a random mix. That’s where the shuffle button on Spotify comes in! In this post, I’ll show you how to shuffle your Spotify playlist so you can keep things fun and fresh every time you hit play.
What is Spotify Shuffle?
Spotify Shuffle is a feature that plays your songs in a random order. Instead of playing songs in the same order every time, Shuffle mixes them up so you hear something different each time.
When you turn on Shuffle, Spotify randomly picks songs from your playlist or album. It ensures you don’t hear the same songs repeatedly, but sometimes some songs come up more than others. This happens because Shuffle is random – it doesn’t play every song exactly once before repeating.
