About the random playlist shuffler
A playlist shuffler rearranges a text list without removing tracks or choosing only one song. Use it when you want a complete running order that you can review and save. The tool works with the labels you paste; it does not connect to a music account, import a streaming playlist URL, or play the resulting sequence.
How to use the playlist shuffler
- Paste one complete track per line. A format such as “Song title — Artist” keeps related information together.
- Use New line when song titles contain commas. Enable Remove duplicates only if exact repeated entries are accidental.
- Click Shuffle playlist, then copy or download the complete order. Paste or recreate that order in the player or document you use.

One possible result is shown below. Your result will vary.
Input
Dreams — Fleetwood Mac Electric Feel — MGMT Lovely Day — Bill Withers Golden — Harry Styles
Example result
1. Lovely Day — Bill Withers 2. Dreams — Fleetwood Mac 3. Golden — Harry Styles 4. Electric Feel — MGMT
Each song-and-artist line moves as a unit. All four tracks remain in the shuffled playlist.
When to use it
Listening queues
Create a new running order for a set of albums, songs, or podcast episodes. Save the list if you want to follow the same sequence later.
Watch lists
Reorder films or episodes that can be watched independently. For a series where story order matters, shuffle series titles rather than individual episodes.
Practice and rehearsal
Mix songs or exercises to vary a practice session. Any transition, tuning, or pacing constraints need a manual check after shuffling.
Options and input rules
How the randomization works
The tool uses a Fisher–Yates shuffle driven by the browser’s crypto.getRandomValues() source. It walks through the list and exchanges each entry with a randomly chosen eligible position. The settings for this tool then determine how the shuffled entries become an order, selection, or set of assignments.
Entries and results stay in this page’s memory. This site does not upload your input or keep a saved history. A new generation replaces the displayed result; copy or download anything you want to keep before reloading or leaving the page.
Frequently asked questions
Can I paste a Spotify or YouTube playlist link?
There is no playlist-link import. Paste the track titles as text, one per line. A pasted URL is treated as a single label, not fetched or expanded.
Will every song play once before repeating?
The generated list contains every entry once unless identical tracks were entered more than once. The tool creates an order but does not control playback.
Can I keep songs by the same artist apart?
Not automatically. The shuffle does not analyze artist names or apply spacing rules. Review and adjust the exported order if that matters.
Why did the first track stay first?
A shuffle does not require every item to move. Individual tracks can retain their position, and short playlists can repeat an earlier order by chance.
