hey, im using spotify-player w latest version and i noticed an issue with the shuffle feature. when i:

  1. search for a specific track
  2. start playback of that track
  3. toggle shuffle mode (C-s)
    instead of continuing playback with other tracks in a shuffled order, the player only plays the searched track and then stops. this is different from how shuffle works in the official spotify apps, where enabling shuffle causes the next tracks to be random from the current context (playlist, album, etc.)

what i expected:

  • after enabling shuffle, the player should queue and play other tracks (not only the searched one), similarly to how spotify itself works.

what actually happens:

  • only the searched song plays. there is no continuation to other songs.

steps to reproduce:

  1. run: spotify_player and search the song, play it
  2. press C-s to toggle shuffle
  3. observe that the song plays, but after it ends, nothing else plays

additional info:

  • im using spotify premium
  • OS: arch linux
