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!

What’s New
Made a few fixes intended to prevent inadvertent song skipping. New Feature! Want the album art to be huge on big-screened devices? Turn on "Show Only Currently Playing Album" in the Settings screen, and the previously played and next up albums will be removed, allowing the currently playing album to fill the screen.

    Good features but is a battery hog
    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
    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. Show more

    Not Shuffling by Album
    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. Show more

    Last iOS update (12.2)
    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. Show more

    Great App
    I bought this years ago, thought it was ok, but stopped using it. I recently reinstalled the app after what must have been tons of updates. It is totally different, and is now hands down my favorite music app. The interface is way better than the Apple Music app. I mainly listen to classical music and love being able to skip by album.

    Pretty great! But is missing one key thing
    This is a great app for people who enjoy listening to full albums! It’s just missing one feature I think would be key: filter by “Album has more than X tracks” to make it easier to ignore singles and incomplete albums. Thanks! Show more

    Nice app when it works
    When I initially purchased this app, it worked fine. Each time I hopped in the car the album I’d been listening to would resume where it left off. Occasionally, if I’d been away from the car for a while, using other apps, it would “forget” the playlist in progress, and the iPhone music player would revert to the first track in my library by alphabetical order. Upon opening Smart Shuffle a prompt (from my iPhone I believe) would let me play from the last remembered song, which usually wasn’t exactly where I left off, but close enough. The problem is that it gradually got to the point that Smart Shuffle would rarely resume a playlist when I started the car, and could never seem to successfully restore a playlist, instead just reshuffling. I have over 500 albums on my phone, and would like to stick with a playlist that allows me to hear many different things without repeats. Constantly stopping and starting over is a deal breaker. I’ve recently added a different app that performs the same function and doesn’t seem to have any such issues. Unfortunate because I prefer the look of the Smart Shuffle interface, especially the screen that allows you to swipe through albums horizontally. Show more

    Still no random playlist feature
    Why still mo ability to select a playlist, play songs randomly assigning playcount of 1 to each before repeating any song or any album, then start over with playcount of 2, etc.? Show more
