Hi, the issue I've been having with trying to play one particular album is that it often plays these random Indian songs instead of the album I want to listen to. This wasn't an issue before I stopped using Premium but has become much worse over time. It isn't the same thing as getting to the end of the album's songs and then it playing similar ones because 1) The songs are completely different to the album and 2) It plays them far before the album is over, even sometimes when I press play, those songs are first before any of the actual album. I don't know if this is an intentional feature to try and annoy people to pay for premium but there seems to be no other people talking about this specific issue.

Playlist should have around 50 songs (Minimum sometimes more I recommend getting up to 100) and 4-6 albums minimum so that Spotify doesn't turn your playlist or album into a radio playlist and automatically add new suggested tracks. I've been on free for years.

If you don't like this, I suggest 5 other options. Any one of these options will allow you to select individual songs rather than shuffle mode only (shuffle mode on free accounts is an intentional limitation of the Mobile app by Spotify developers):

@ColeGateNB Yes create multiple playlists if needed with different moods, genres or themes and get creative using the above techniques I mentioned. For Example: If you like a certain artist-1 and you like a whole bunch of their albums but they also are similar sound to another artist-2 maybe create playlist with just the single artist if you have enough tracks/albums you like or mix it up with the other one that sounds similar in style or mood.

This should make free account way more enjoyable going forward. That's what I've been doing for years, and it helped me really enjoy the free features after understanding the techniques mentioned. Ironicly it's a limitation that sparked fun creativity with the playlists.

The only other Free with ads Rival is YouTube Music which allows you to pick any song but it comes with big negative that you can't close the app and multitask or run the app in background or in lock screen. So YouTube Music not ideal for use beyond a quick listen to an individual track or two.

Hello, I just uploaded an album and I wanted to play all the songs in order on my iphone but it won't stop shuffling the songs. No matter what I do, it plays the album in shuffle mode. How do I turn it off on my iphone?

Select a song to play, select that song again via the bottom bar that contains the pause/next controls. That should expand your currently playing song to fill your entire screen revealing further controls.

I figured it out!!!! Yay! I clicked on the number in front of the first song on the album a few times until a bar above the song list popped up with both the icons for continuous and shuffle popped up. I clicked on the shuffle icon until it went gray and clicked on the continuous icon till it was orange. YAY!!! It works.

Glad you were able to figure it out. For future reference, this forum is for questions from people managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. Normally you will get the quickest and most applicable responses if you ask your questions in the general iTunes or iPhone forums.

I recently did a clean reinstall of the Spotify app because it was crashing randomly during playback. Now I have the problem that every album I try to view appears to be empty, showing no songs. This does not affect the display of songs in playlist, and it does not affect the display of the top songs on any artist's page.

If that doesn't do the trick and you have an SD card we suggest that you uninstall the app > turn off your phone > take out your SD card > turn on the phone again (without the SD card) > reinstall the app since the card can be corrupted.

To keep investigating your case, would you mind confirming if you've followed the steps mentioned above by @Jeremy? This will give us a better picture about what you've tried so far to avoid repeating processes.

However, if it doesn't do the trick, feel free to add your +VOTE. You can also subscribe to it in the three-dot menu, that way you can stay up-to-date with any relevant news about this.

Thanks for reaching out. At Spotify, we're often testing new features and improvements, that's why you may have something in the app that other users don't or vice versa, or have a feature to try temporarily. In this case, we suggest to keep the app always updated so you don't miss out on any new features and improvements.

For the time being, the best way to like all songs in an album is to highlight all songs using Ctrl+A or by Ctrl+clicking multiple tracks, then right clicking and selecting "Save to your Liked Songs". For the time being, this only possible on the desktop app.

tbh, this is a feature - for years I was endlessly frustrated by a "Liked Album" assuming that I want to add every song within the album to my "Liked Songs" playlist. that was my biggest gripe with spotify. Many albums have at least one absolutely trash song (loving the beatles doesn't mean you ever want to shuffle your "Favorite Songs Playlist" and land on Revolution 9)... or even just songs that are fine, but don't resonate with me enough to add to my personal collection of Liked Songs

I reserve Liked Songs to those individual pieces that have moved me, and that I would recommend to others. I save albums because I like them as a piece of work, not because every ingredient is perfect, and I also save albums that I want to listen to in the future or were recommended (in which case, I have no idea if I like those songs or not).

I think having it so you can manually add songs that you like (even if it's the whole album) to your liked songs playlist is a great compromise, so both sides can have it their way. But before, it didn't give you a choice, and I am still cleaning mediocre songs from my Liked Songs playlist daily because of this, and skipping almost 50% of songs on shuffle because it's one of a 40 songs in a live album i saved back in 2016. #2cents

The album was the dominant form of recorded music expression and consumption from the mid-1960s to the early 21st century, a period known as the album era.[1] Vinyl LPs are still issued, though album sales in the 21st-century have mostly focused on CD and MP3 formats. The 8-track tape was the first tape format widely used alongside vinyl from 1965 until being phased out by 1983, being gradually supplanted by the cassette tape throughout the 1970s and early 1980s; the popularity of the cassette reached its peak during the late 1980s before sharply declining during the 1990s. The cassette had largely disappeared by the first decade of the 2000s.

Most albums are recorded in a studio,[2] although they may also be recorded in a concert venue, at home, in the field, or a mix of places. The time frame for completely recording an album varies between a few hours to several years. This process usually requires several takes with different parts recorded separately, and then brought or "mixed" together. Recordings that are done in one take without overdubbing are termed "live", even when done in a studio. Studios are built to absorb sound, eliminating reverberation, to assist in mixing different takes; other locations, such as concert venues and some "live rooms", have reverberation, which creates a "live" sound.[3] Recordings, including live, may contain editing, sound effects, voice adjustments, etc. With modern recording technology, artists can be recorded in separate rooms or at separate times while listening to the other parts using headphones; with each part recorded as a separate track.

Album covers and liner notes are used, and sometimes additional information is provided, such as analysis of the recording, and lyrics or librettos.[4][5] Historically, the term "album" was applied to a collection of various items housed in a book format. In musical usage, the word was used for collections of short pieces of printed music from the early nineteenth century.[6] Later, collections of related 78s were bundled in book-like albums[7] (one side of a 78 rpm record could hold only about 3.5 minutes of sound). When LP records were introduced, a collection of pieces or songs on a single record was called an "album"; the word was extended to other recording media such as compact disc, MiniDisc, compact audio cassette, 8-track tape and digital albums as they were introduced.[8]

An album (Latin albus, white), in ancient Rome, was a board chalked or painted white, on which decrees, edicts, and other public notices were inscribed in black. It was from this that in medieval and modern times, album came to denote a book of blank pages in which verses, autographs, sketches, photographs and the like are collected.[9] This in turn led to the modern meaning of an album as a collection of audio recordings issued as a single item.

The first audio albums were actually published by the publishers of photograph albums. Single 78 rpm records were sold in a brown heavy paper sleeve with a large hole in the center so the record's label could be seen. The fragile records were stored on their sides. By the mid-1920s, photo album publishers sold collections of empty sleeves of heavier paper in bound volumes with stiff covers slightly larger than the 10" popular records. (Classical records measured 12".) On the paper cover in small type were the words "Record Album". Now records could be stored vertically with the record not touching the shelf, and the term was applied to the collection.[citation needed]
