Real Randomizer
Because Spotify doesn't do a good job
Show/Hide explanationThis is a quick application that utilizes the Spotify Web API to shuffle your playlists properly, as God intended. The shuffle feature on Spotify only shuffles about 50 or so songs and then resamples, which leads to annoying repeats in long playlists and should be changed. This is my way of fixing the problem.
Once logged in, you can choose a playlist from the dropdown box to the right. The application will load the playlist's tracks into a table, for your viewing pleasure. Clicking the headers will first sort ascending, then descending, then restore the original sort order. Clicking "Sort Randomly" will shuffle the entire list completely randomly.
Clicking "Make Playlist" will take this list, and its order; and produce a new, private playlist named "Real Randomizer Playlist". It will overwrite the first playlist with this name, to prevent spamming. Once its done, you can click the shiny new "View Playlist" to open this playlist in Spotify.
Your new playlist is meant to be enjoyed without the in-built shuffle feature, and has all the same tracks as the original. It does not, in any way, modify the original playlist; so you can shuffle public, collaborative and even followed playlists properly. To reshuffle, just come back here and go through the same process: it'll go into the same "Real Randomizer Playlist".
