And I hate that I had to go set an option so that spotify didn’t lock out other songs in my playlist based on the current song playing. If I put them both in my playlist and put it on shuffle, I want an equal chance to hear either or, even back to back when they are completely different.

The only messing around with random that I accept is avoiding a random sequence that replays recently heard songs (unless it’s the same song in the list twice, in which case, treat it like a different song).
