Is Play In Order no longer a free feature?

[ScottDD]

I've had a free account for over a year, and I have setup custom play orders for all of my play lists. Just now, the Shuffle Play option (which I never use) came on, and when I try to turn it off I get the message: "Play in order with Premium: With Premium you can turn off shuffle play..." Is Play In Order no longer an option for free accounts?

I'm running into the same issue! It looks like they have changed it to a premium feature. This is such a huge feature to take away from the free desktop version. Here's a quick video made July 8, 2022 demonstrating the new change to the shuffle feature in the free desktop app version: https://youtu.be/Wq1EQKye3F4

A workaround I found is using the web player. It doesn't seem to be forcing shuffle play (yet).
