Spotify alternative for iPhone

I’m a longtime Spotify user, I really don’t have any complaints except
for one.

I want to be able to choose or create the shuffle algorithm used.

I have some very long playlists, and in those playlists I feel like I
hear the same 50 or so songs over and over. I want a shuffle that will
play every song once before repeating a song.

I’m sure this is not a desired enough feature to be on any mainstream
music platform. But seeing as I’m already self hosting a bunch of
services, I’m sure there is one that allows plugins.

I need it to work on iOS and CarPlay. And either have a shuffle
algorithm like that implemented, or a framework for creating plugins.

Thanks!

I use Spotify extensively and have large playlists and the shuffle is
perfectly fine. Either your are doing something wrong or just assuming
that only few songs are being repeated
