I started a thread about this before, but all comments have been disabled, so I can't respond to anything. If I ask Google to "play music on Spotify" the issue persists — it plays the exact same songs in the exact same order, over and over and over again despite the fact that my playlist is literally 6 days long and I have the "smart shuffle" feature enabled where songs the algorithm thinks I might like get interjected every 3-4 songs. So, Google hasn't fixed anything.
The only work around that seems to work is to go into my Spotify app from my phone or from my laptop web browser, select a random song in the playlist to play, then use Bluetooth to connect to the Nest devices. If I just ask Google to "play my playlist called ___" and then ask it to shuffle, it seems to work for a few songs, and then goes right back to its own playlist of like 20 songs that it thinks I want to hear every second of every day. STILL ANNOYED AF.
