How to stop Spotify from Playing songs out of order

I just got Spotify app, I'm on the free version, I'm trying to play an album, but it keeps saying 'play shuffle' and therefore it shuffles the songs. I just want to play the album in order.

One of the things that confuse new Spotify new users is that when they want to play a song in the album, Spotify doesn't play the exact song they're tapping on. The song that starts playing may be from the same album, or it just comes out of nowhere.

So in the following parts, I'm going to show you how to play Spotify album in order both on the desktop and phone.

How to Play Album in Order on Spotify with Premium

If you're new to Spotify, you probably are a free-tier user and haven't pay for it yet. After signing up, you can listen to Spotify songs on the desktop or on your phone. Aside from the pop-up ads showing up in the middle of the song, you can't even pick the exact song you want to listen to. When you tap on a song from an album, Spotify won't directly play the song you choose, but the other song from the album or an unknown playlist. You'll have to skip several times before it plays the exact song you want to tune into. And you can only skip 6 times within an hour.

So if you want to play songs in order on Spotify, you'll have to subscribe to one of the Premium plans. To subscribe Premium, go to www.spotify.com/premium, log in with your Spotify account and then follow the instructions to choose a Premium plan. After that, you can play Spotify album in order on any device.

Play Spotify in order on the desktop:

1. Open Spotify on your computer.

2. Double-click the first song from an album.

3. Check the Shuffle button, if it's green, click on it to disable it.

4. Now you'll be able to play any album on Spotify in order.

Play Spotify in order on your phone:

1. Open the Spotify app on your phone.

2. Go to Your Library > Albums, then tap on an album you want to play. Or you can go to Search and search for an album.

3. Instead of tapping the SHUFFLE PLAY, tap the first song in the album.

4. Go to the Now Playing page, and disable the Shuffle button. Now you can play the album in order.

How to Play An Album in Order on Spotify Free without Premium

There's no denying that Spotify is a great music streaming app with Premium. You can unlock many exclusive features like unlimited listening, play songs offline and listen without ads.
