I have a dozen different playlists that rotate depending on my mood and what I am doing. I have my playlist for when I am down, I have several gaming playlists, and I have my guilty pleasures playlists, but regardless of the playlist and no matter how I start the playlist off I ALWAYS get the same 6-8 songs within a certain timeframe regardless of how large the playlist is. I will get a song I have heard a million times again, I go switch it to something else, and like 80% of the time I will get that same song again within the next 4-6 songs despite the playlist being 10+ hours of music because of the way the "shuffler" works. Every time. I have a 16 hour classic rock playlist but I will get the same song several times if I hit the next button more than once. It's like Spotify keeps track of the most listened to song and then gives itself a feedback loop. "Oh they played this song this many times so they must love it!" and it just gives it to me over and over despite the fact that IT is the one that gave me the song so many times in the first place. Not me.
Isn't "shuffle" supposed to mean that I get a variety of my songs? Why does Spotify insist on giving me the same relatively small selection of songs? I know that hitting "next" technically resets the playlist, but it doesn't REALLY reset the playlist. I just get the same selection again, but with just one or two songs thrown into the middle.
Stupid rant I know, but god is it annoying when I am trying to just have music in the background while I do stuff and I get distracted because I notice stupid stuff like this.
