Frustrated with Random Songs on Spotify? Here’s How to Stop It! Tired of Spotify throwing random songs into your playlist? Let’s fix that. Here’s a simple guide to take control of your music.
Solution 1: Turn Off Smart Shuffle
- Open your playlist.
- Look for the shuffle button near the play button.
- Tap it until the icon no longer shows a star in the corner. No star = Smart Shuffle is OFF.
- If Smart Shuffle stays on, Spotify will keep suggesting and playing songs not in your playlist.
Solution 2: Disable Autoplay
- Go to the app’s Home screen.
- Tap your profile icon (top left).
- Select Settings & Privacy > Playback.
- Scroll down to find “Autoplay similar content.”
- Switch it OFF. This stops Spotify from playing related tracks after your playlist ends.
Spotify’s features like Smart Shuffle and Autoplay are designed to suggest new music. But they can be frustrating if you only want to hear what you picked.
Quick Tips
- Double-check your playlist isn’t on shuffle unless you want songs in random order.
- Update the app if settings don’t save—sometimes bugs cause issues.
- If nothing works, reinstall Spotify for a clean reset.
Take back control of your playlists today—because nobody likes surprises when they’re vibing to their favorite tunes!
