My Question or Issue

This is more of a suggestion/complaint rather than a bug, but any playlists created for me by Spotify (Discover Weekly and Release Radar which I use a lot) no longer have the shuffle or repeat buttons like you have in any other playlist. Instead I have the 'like' button on the left and the 'hide this song' button on the right.

I've been using Spotify for years and have grown accustomed to the placement of all the buttons and doing things such as adding songs to playlists very quickly. With this change to the buttons I can no longer change in or out of shuffle or repeat without changing the song or starting it over as the shuffle/repeat buttons are nowhere to be found on these playlists. Also, on these playlists the additional options you get from pressing the three dots on the top right now have the 'hide this song' option in the second position which is where the 'add to playlist' option is on all other playlists so now I keep hiding songs I don't mean to because I'm used to how the button placement used to be. On top of that pressing the 'hide this song' option skips the song and you can't play it without unhiding it.

The rearranging/removing of buttons from playlist to playlist seems unnecessary and just creates more problems than solves them for me.
