The cache part pisses me off. I'm fucking paying you to stream me music. Not the same fucking shit over and over and over again.
I really don't get it. Users have been begging for a true random shuffle for years. It's not a hard thing to implement.
True random shuffle would be a terrible idea. No one wants the same track showing up multiple times in a row, which would not be uncommon in true random shuffle.
I think the idea is that the play order for the entire playlist is shuffled on each loop, so you play all songs in one order, then it shuffles, and you play all songs again but in a different order.
^this - why is it so hard to implement sigh
I disagree that that's what it means, IMO "shuffle" explicitly means each track exactly once. Pedantry aside, what I meant was a truly randomized order when you shuffle a playlist. It's a major critique of Spotify among users and has been for a very long time.
