So-called shuffle
Weighted by listening history, popularity and similarity. The same forty tracks out of two thousand — and the twelve albums you forgot stay forgotten.
Prototype · closed beta
true-shuffle
Streaming services call it shuffle and mean weighting. true-shuffle shuffles a library the way you shuffle cards: every track exactly once before any track repeats.
The difference in two lines
true-shuffle
A real permutation across the whole library. Every track plays exactly once before any track plays twice. Then it reshuffles.

Two questions that always come up
Is true randomness not worse?
It feels unfamiliar at first because favourites come up less often. That is exactly the point: the library becomes as large as it actually is again.
Are my listening habits stored?
Shuffling needs no history. What is stored is the position in the current cycle — nothing else.
