Jeannene asked 6 months ago

I use spotify playlists on many of my routines, but I get sick of it starting with the same song all the time. Is there any way to start playlists in shuffle mode? I haven\’t been able to figure out any. Thanks!

That’s a great question! When I want to play my Spotify playlists in shuffle mode, I go into the Spotify app, locate the playlist and tap the “Shuffle Play” button at the top. Then when you go to play the playlist via Alexa on your Echo, it’ll be shuffled! So the next time it plays via a routine, it will start from a different song.

If you want to play the songs in order and “un-shuffle” them, go back into the Spotify app, tap into the song that’s playing and then tap the two intersecting arrows icon that’s directly to the left of the larger “back” button icon.

This isn’t a fix. I have to open the app and hit shuffle every time. People want it to be on shuffle as a default so they DONT HAVE TO open the Spotify app every time.

Agreed. This fix doesn’t work for alarms, for instance, because it’s difficult to go into Spotify in your sleep.

OK, I’ll try that! Sometimes I say “Alexa turn on shuffle mode” and that works, but I use it to wake up and don’t always want to have to talk right away!
