I know with ios 9 they changed it so you had to open the mini player to click or unclick the shuffle icon. When I open the mini player now there is no shuffle icon. When I'm looking at the list of songs with the mini player minimized, there is a "shuffle songs" at the top of that. When I click it/ unclick it the songs still don't play in order. Help! Thanks.
iPhone 6, iOS 10.0.2
Hi Alex,
I had the same problem. Here's a solution. I've also included screen shots as a reference.
-Play the first song on any album/ playlist
-Once playing, click on the 'Now Playing' tab at the bottom of the screen
-Slide up from bottom of screen
-Now you can toggle both shuffle and repeat
Good Luck
I agree. Apple is now making the worst software in their history. It appears that now the user has to change this setting foe eash artist, awful! It couldn't be worse of they intended to design crapware. Not to mention users cannot see lyrics that they took the time to enter already.
What in the world is going on out there!
I'm on iOS 10.3.3, and my 'Swipe-up / Now Playing' content is different (after clicking the "..." button in the Now Playing expanded box, I get what's shown below), so I see no Shuffle control. Any ideas? So frustrating.
EDIT TO ADD: Okay I figured it out! And I feel pretty stupid, but it really is a design flaw (I'm a UX designer LOL). The problem was, I didn't realize that the Playing Now expanded box could be scrolled (see below). Sigh.
Hi Corey,
You're very close to fixing this! Once you've tapped on a song to play, instead of tapping "...", just swipe up on your screen. Once you've tapped up, you'll see the "shuffle, repeat" options.
Good luck!
Thank you!
(OMG, this is the worst, amateur-hour interface design mistake in the universe. "People will scroll if they think there is something to scroll to" – on my 7+, the screen *exactly* cuts off in a way that didn't make it look like there was anything else to go to. I was so frustrated!)
Thank you sir, I have been searching for months. This solved it !
I was trying to listen to the same album and having the same problem. Thank you for your fix to the situation.
Having the same problem. Have force quit the app and updated the iOS. The app plays songs in some other order.
Are you suggesting making some changes on the PC to which it has been backed up?
There needs to be another place to change that setting. If I tap shuffle, the app begins playing music in a shuffled order. If I tap shuffle again, it selects another random song from the current album and begins playing. Tap again, selects a different song and begins playing. There is no toggle function on the shuffle button. I have scoured the menus and settings for Music, and I cannot find anything. Sometimes playing in order is important. Resetting did not add a toggle feature to the shuffle button. My phone is up to date. (iPhone 6, version 10.3.1(14F89)). I would really appreciate a solution to this one.
Thank you,
Play your music
If you want to listen to an artist's entire collection of music that you've saved to your library, find the artist in Library > Artists. Tap Shuffle All
to play all of their music.
If you find that shuffle is not enabled there as well there but you still aren't able to play songs in the correct order, try the following steps and test out the Music app after each one:
Yoooo you saved my life lol. Hated this thing from the get. Thanks!!!!!
Thank you
ThNks dear for guidance
Music app won't play songs of album in order.
