I noticed that Spotify kept playing the same 10 songs in my playlist even though shuffle was enabled, so I built Virtual Shuffle to take control of Spotify and play truly random tracks from my Spotify playlists/albums/artists, etc.
Congrats Team Virtual Shuffle for this ingenious launch! The new level of randomness infused in our playlists will undoubtedly transform our listening experience. A suggestion: perhaps consider adding a similar feature for podcasts, where users could shuffle between different podcast episodes for a truly random learning or entertainment journey. Keep rocking the tunes!
