Spotify for Android version 0.5.0 - no shuffle option?

[Koffeliane]

Has the shuffle option been removed? If not, how can I access it?

Well, no wonder. You're in radio mode!

There is of course no shuffle in radio mode... since radio is actually only shuffle anyway. 😛

If you play a song normally you should still see it in now playing.

Ok now if I click on a song in my playlist, it tells me that I have to be a premium user, which I signed up for when I was on my computer but apparently it doesn't know this on my phone.

Alright, then please try the steps outlined in this topic here.

Alright, so I guess I would have to become a premium user in order to use the shuffle button.  Bummer.  Oh well.  Thanks so much for all your help.

It's more like this:

As a free users (in the USA) you are able to only use the radio function on the mobile device.

In other countries you can't access the mobile version at all without a Premium account, so consider yourself lucky. 😉

And yes, if you want to play your playlists/normal Spotify catalogue you would have to get a subscription.
