> just let me shuffle my whole library.

This is the primary way I use Spotify, is that functionality not working for you?

On iOS: Your Library -> Liked Songs > Shuffle Play

Spotify only lets you save so many song as Liked Songs. Beyond that, you have to put things into separate playlists.

Seems that limit was quite high at 10K songs, and also removed as of May: https://www.theverge.com/2020/5/26/21270409/spotify-song-lib...

My most popular public playlist with the most subscribers is an old Advent/Christmas/Epiphany playlist that is approaching 10k songs, but it's only classical with some traditional folk music to spice things up a bit. Every December for the past too-many-to-remember years, I've added new music to this list. I'd hate to lose it at this point and I wish I could export it. But there is no doubt Spotify has revolutionized the way I listen to and discover music. I'm actually happy to pay for Spotify Premium because it means I don't have to download anything or keep the physical artifacts of music (vinyl) I used to need to make room for and worry about damaging when I moved, as well as all the stereo equipment, replacing tubes and needles, etc.
