Playing random song

[SchBenedikt]

The problem

I have a question: Usually, the songs always have some kind of playlist ID, song ID, etc. But is there a way to just play random songs, for example from all the people I follow?

Thank you in advance!

You could play your liked songs, that would be the closest to what you are requesting. That functionality is available in the beta and should be available in production shortly, I'm just waiting on Spotify card to be ready for production so we can release at the same time
