Spotify, the most popular music platform today, allows you to shuffle songs in albums along with playlists. Although this feature called ‘shuffle play’ is a savior for those who do not want to listen to the album in the same order all the time, it is also disliked by many artists as it disrupts the course of the album that the artists have carefully prepared.
The other day, the platform broke new ground in this regard. Spotify has removed the shuffle option on British singer Adele’s new album “30”. Thus, the album can be listened to in its original order on the main page. On the other hand, this was only valid for Premium users. Those who use Spotify for free still have to shuffle the album, as they can’t choose the songs to listen to.
Adele requested the removal of the mixed volatile feature
Spotify didn’t remove the shuffle play feature on its own. Responding to the news shared by Pop Crave on Twitter, Adele said, “This was the only request I had in our ever-changing industry! We don’t put albums on our playlist with such care and thought for nothing. Our art tells a story, and our stories should be listened to the way we want. Thanks for listening Spotify. ” he stated.
New discussions also opened
On the other hand, this innovation made by Spotify for Adele, which will probably continue, also opened the door to new discussions. Under Adele’s post, many users reacted as “I listen to what I want to listen to”, while some users expressed that they agreed with the artist’s request.
But there was something that those who complained about this issue were not aware of: The shuffle play feature was only removed from the album’s page. The album can be shuffled again in the ‘Now Playing’ interface when it starts playing. In other words, users who want to play shuffle only need to touch their fingers to the screen 2 more times. .
