Spotify is introducing an update to its shuffle algorithm, which many have pointed out is not random enough, often repeating tracks and ignoring those truly underground hits just sitting and waiting in your playlist. Apple quickly realised that true randomness doesn’t feel random enough when certain songs, artists, or genres keep recurring. So, the company had to tweak the shuffle algorithm to make it more random by introducing parameters that would cause it to leap across different sounds more frequently. Android Authority noticed strings of new code with Spotify’s 9.0.84.1313 beta release, suggesting the new changes to the shuffle. Previously, the app only offered linear playback, regular shuffle, and smart shuffle, which inserts a Spotify recommendation for every three tracks that play on your playlist.
