Why is it called Shuffle if it doesn't shuffle?


For years now (letโ€™s just say forever), I have been hearing the same songs from the same playlists, which is so crazy annoying!

 

What does the algorithm behind the shuffle button actually do? And when?

Is a playlist immediately added to the shuffle routine when it is downloaded?

Whatโ€™s going on here!? Finally fix it, or tell us what to do!

Hi โ€‹@ianj74 !

 

There are two shuffle options
Shuffle my music and regular shuffle , which one did you mean exactly?

 

With the Shuffle my music option you start a shuffle with the all music that is in your favorites .


If you start a regular shuffle e.g. on a playlist , then in shuffle mode only songs from that playlist are played .

The two arrows will be purple when shuffle is turn on. When shuffle is turn off, the two arrows will be white.

Start playing the first song from the playlist/album and then turn on regular shuffle .

 

 

 

You can also select multiple albums or playlists to listen to in shuffle .

I donโ€™t know what this is the answer to, but it was not the answer to my question:

 

Why do the suffle buttons in Deezer work so bad?

I don't understand what you meant when you said "Why do the shuffle buttons in Deezer work so bad"
Does your shuffle button work when turned on!?
If it works, then you can't say it works bad.

You probably meant something else... we are trying to find out exactly what you meant and based on that we give an answer.
