Now Playing Screen - No shuffle/loop option?

[samuelhwilliams]

I noticed yesterday that the shuffle/loop buttons on the Now Playing screen of the Android mobile app v8.4.45.633 armV7 are no longer present. This kinda screws with how I use Spotify, in that I mainly listen to a playlist on shuffle but occasionally drop in and cherry-pick a specific song. When I do that now, the entire playlist goes back to playing in order and as soon as I press 'Shuffle Play' it interrupts what's currently playing and drops into something else altogether.

It looks like shuffle/loop have been replaced with the 'love/dislike' button, but no idea why they couldn't have just been added as there's plenty of room on the screen for all four buttons.

Super frustrating to see one of the main features I use just disappear (even though shuffle/loop have been super broken for ages when used on the automatic Discover Weekly playlist).

Please let me know what the workaround is or when these buttons will make a come back.
