I am going crazy trying to figure this out… I just want to have a couple buttons on one card which plays either a radio station or a Spotify playlist to my echo plus. The radio work great but I cannot for the life of me get the playlist to work ideally I would love it to shuffle when pressed… I can get it to work if I change the type to custom but it plays a complete random playlist and not the one in the ID. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I don’t have Spotify but the documentation says that you need your user id:
buttons:
# Start predefined playlist
- icon: mdi:cat
type: playlist
id: spotify:user:XXXXXXX:playlist:37i9dQZF1DZ06evO2O09Hg
# Where XXXXXXX is your User ID
