Step-by-step instructions

  1. Paste your own titles

    Enter one song, episode, album, or movie per line. Include artist or series details when titles could be confused.

  2. Decide whether repeats belong

    Enable Remove duplicates only when identical labels should appear once. Distinct versions need distinct labels.

  3. Shuffle and use the text order

    Select Shuffle playlist. Copy or download the resulting title list and follow it in your own player or watchlist.

The list changes listening order without downloading or playing any audio.

Do not shuffle a serial story unintentionally

A serialized podcast, course, or multi-part interview may depend on earlier episodes. Keep those sequences together or exclude them from the random pool. Include the show name and episode number where titles could be confused. The tool does not know listening history, remove completed episodes, or check whether an audio link works.

Settings and limits to check

The example has 6 retained entries. The playlist tool rearranges supplied text. It does not fetch media, connect to streaming accounts, play tracks, or edit another app. Each retained entry appears once in the new order. Duplicate labels can be removed, but different spellings or versions are not recognized as the same recording. A new shuffle can repeat an earlier position.

Settings used in this example
Remove duplicate entries: Off

Keep a usable copy of the result

Use Copy to place the current result in your own notes, or Download to keep a text file. Keep the eligible input list with the result when you need to explain which entries took part. A new generation replaces the displayed result rather than adding to a saved history.

The tool runs in your browser and does not upload your input. Save the result before refreshing or leaving the page. If other people need to use the same outcome, share your saved copy rather than asking them to generate another independent result.

Frequently asked questions

Will it skip episodes I have already heard?

Only if you leave those titles out of the input. It has no connection to your listening history.

Will it change my streaming playlist automatically?

No. The output is a text list. Apply or follow that order manually in your own player.

Does it recommend new titles?

No. It only shuffles titles you provide; it does not discover songs, episodes, albums, or movies.
