Description

Do you miss the old "Album Shuffle" on your Apple device? Here at Spudfish Software, we did, so we did something about it!
Smart Shuffle: The Album-Centric Music Player
Smart Shuffle brings album shuffle back to you, randomly shuffling your music and playing it back one album at a time with songs selected in the order that the artist intended. If you love albums, Smart Shuffle is the only music player you need!
Version 3.9 also includes a host of new features to help you further take charge of your album collection!
SIRI SHORTCUTS
- train Siri to tell Smart Shuffle to Shuffle Albums, Play Next Album or Play Previous Album
PLAY ALBUMS FROM THE CLOUD
- Smart Shuffle can now access your albums in the cloud, seamlessly adding them to your selection list. Have a bad data plan or spotty internet connectivity? Just turn off this feature from the Settings app for Smart Shuffle.
ENHANCED ALBUM SELECTION
- Sort your albums by Title, Artist, Genre, Composer, or Release Date
- Filter the selection list to refine your selections. You can create an album playlist to match your mood by filtering on any combination of:
- Artist
- Genre
- Grouping
- Composer
- Rating
- Play Count
- Decade Released
- Minimum Song Count
- Inclusion in one of your Playlists
- Cloud Availability
- Filter by Selected to see only the albums you have currently selected for shuffling, or those that you haven't selected yet.
- Start Album: Select the first album to play, then pick random albums thereafter.
- Split Multi-Disc Albums: treat each volume of a multi-disc set individually
APPLE WATCH INTERFACE
- Control the playback of your album selections on your Apple Watch. Play or pause the current album, skip to the next album, or re-play the previous album.
SLEEP MODE
- Touch and hold the play/pause button for a second to request Sleep Mode
- Smart Shuffle will automatically pause after 30 minutes, an hour, or after the current album. You'll get lulled to sleep listening to your favorite albums without missing a bunch of them while asleep!
ANNOUNCEMENT AND DELAY
- Smart Shuffle now comes with settings to announce each new album before it is played, and to delay for up to 30 seconds between albums to let you cleanse your musical palate.
RESPONSIVE TO TOUCH EVENTS
- Double tap the screen to play/pause music
- Swipe left/right on the album art to skip to the next/previous album
- Swipe left/right on the now playing information to skip to the next/previous song
- Swipe down in the pull-tab to show your entire shuffled album queue. Swipe up to view the currently playing album art.
- Touch the progress bar to change songs
- Touch the time remaining to show the time of day that the currently playing album will end. Touch again to return to time remaining.
- Touch and hold the progress bar to get a list of songs to choose from
- From the Selection Screen, touch and hold an album to play it first in your shuffled list
REMOTE CONTROL EVENTS
- In addition to the usual remote control events (play/pause, next song, previous song), Smart Shuffle can now skip to the next/previous album using the "skimming" remote control events. Double-click and hold the remote control on headphones, or touch and hold the forward arrow on the remote control panel on your lock screen.

If you quit the application, your music keeps playing. Open the Music app, and your Smart Shuffle mix is retained. Pop right back into Smart Shuffle to skip albums or select new albums to mix.
Happy Shuffling!

Smart Shuffle Reviews

dont wanna miss this app

Harridu on

Germany

Surely smart shuffle fills a gap opened by Apple years ago, when they dropped "shuffle by album". Actually this app deserves more than 5 stars.

Needs improvement

yodlecloud on

United States

Okay for 0.99 cents or a 1.09 this is a cool app definitely recommend if you want to shuffle your albums from your music library as well have all your albums play from beginning to end

Seems to have broken in IOS 17

Unhappy user23456 on

United States

I love that I can shuffle my many albums - but it seems to have broken in the latest iOS update. Now, instead of playing my album selection, i get whatever was last on my iOS playlist. Sure hope this can be fixed. Thanks!

Crashing Apple Music

Jhonnieee on

United States

Hi, I love Smart Shuffle. Have had it for years and years now. Only recently has it started to crash Apple Music, rendering it unusual w. Came here hoping for an update, but I might try de-installing & re-installing it again. Hope it fixes the problem but wanted to draw attention to it, just in case. 4 stars overall!!!!

Practically Perfect in Every Way

Toaddio on

United States

Shuffle your albums like the good old days. The last update a few months ago appears to have squashed the few minor bugs the app had. For those of you that like listening to whole albums, this app is perfect.

It gets lost!

AltGrendel on

United States

Since the release of IOS 16 it gets lost. It will stop and shuffle in the middle of an album that I know has all tracks in the music app. And if I’m in the album selection screen , many times it won’t change to the album I select. It will choose a different random album. This is especially true if I try to select from the top of the album list.

Good features but is a battery hog

Tim8vb on

United States

Love all the features but uses lots of battery in the background even when not playing music. Looking for a battery friendly alternative.

Just what I needed

Pssqd on

United States

I use this app to allow me to shuffle by Album. However, another nice feature is the ability to remember where it last played, even after a full battery charge. My iPod touch is of the last generation and won’t do the latest Apple Music updates that remember playback but instead erases my whole shuffle if I pause too long or charge battery to full power. What I would like in this app is the ability to also shuffle by song...thereby allowing me to fully replace Apple Music/iTunes altogether. Any chance of that? That would convince me to give this app 5 stars.

Not Shuffling by Album

Kage Senjo on

United States

App used to work alright, primary gripe was you can’t look up a song and start from there, you have to know what album it’s on, and you have to find the album in the shuffled view - takes forever when you have 100s of albums and/or improperly named albums. Now however it’s not even shuffling by album, the ONE thing this app is supposed to do. Even when not connected to my car, the app periodically just reverts to normal shuffle and the only way I can discern to get it to work again is to reshuffle.

Last iOS update (12.2)

ex-dj on

United States

Why is it Apple breaks you app every time they do an iOS (12.2) update? About every 5 albums or so get the Playing a Different List overlay message...IT IS ANNOYING.
