You should be able to shuffle playlists, just click on the ^ arrow at the bottom of the screen (next to song title), and just click the shuffle play icon (two arrows intertwined).

I also have the same issue, pretty sure since this morning. I am a paid-up Premium member. Yes I know I can shuffle another way, but the Shuffle button, rather than Play, is useful. Is it a bug or a confirmed feature change?

We all KNOW that the crossing arrows can be clicked but why replace "Shuffle" button with "Play" on playlists, which, I'm positive, are more often shuffled than played in sequence? If you don't want to shuffle, then you just click the first song and go from there. It's a senseless inexplicable feature change.
