Repetitive "Shuffle my music" // keeps playing the same songs

Thanks for sharing it here too @Ian.S 

In addition, our teams are working on Flow improvements so I hope all this feedback is taken into consideration before we get there 

It's a pleasure. Many thanks Rudi. I'm constantly working on SkipTracks to make it better. 🎵

Have a great day everyone. 😊

It's feedback like yours that makes this community a better place, Ian @Ian.S 

Have a great weekend and keep us posted 

As other I don’t like flow as it keeps playing tracks that I don’t like.

So I’ve created list of my 2250 favorite tracks and then I shuffle them.

However many tracks are played again and again and some are never played.

Can you please use the history of the played tracks to avoid playing too much of the same track when shuffling favorites?

Can you also please add a discovery slider to flow? The idea is that if discovery slider is 0 then only favorite tracks are played and if the slider is at 100 % then only non-favorite tracks are played (but based on the recommendation depending on the favorites).

Same problem here. Not only do I get the same artists, I don't hear songs from artists that I have added to favourites. I've favourited a wide range of music but all I get is 80s again. 

4 years later since this thread was started and i’m still getting the same songs over and over in my “infinite” flow… not sure what’s going on, but there are millions of songs out there, and my flow is not interested in bringing very many of them to me…  do i misunderstand how it’s supposed to work?

thanks

Same here. Flow plays the same corny 70s, 80s and 90s songs. Many aren’t even in my favorites and I wouldn’t normally play them. It does this no matter which device I use (eg, Google Home mini, iPhone, iPad), so I know this isn’t a “clear the cache” problem. I work in software, so I know that even a simple random number generator would pick a more mixed variety of all the songs, albums and artists I have added to favorites. I was hoping for a mix of songs/artists I like plus others that are new to me. But I get the same old corny list of 50 or so songs over and over again. Why should I continue to pay for this terrible software?

Hello @interlard have you checked this?: 

Hello @Jaime. Could you please be specific? What is it about these 2 new Flow modes that you expect to fix the problem I described? I’ve already said that I get a mix of favorites and non-favorites. It’s not the mix of these 2 sets that’s the problem. The problem is only the same tiny selection of songs are played all the time.

This should no longer happen in flow discovery mode. Songs played there come back after 28 days at the earliest.
