[Android] Remove the Shuffle / Play Button

[-quazar]

Hi, I tried out your new design, which I have mixed feelings about, but nevermind that. The most annoying thing I come over in the new Spotify (for iPhone by the way) is the dumb, big, overlapping, unnecessary shuffle play button that pops up everywhere. Is this a bug or is this on purpose? Could at least had add an option for it. Also, it doesn't look streamlined at all with the current design. Did it even occur that not everyone wants a shuffle play button?

This idea is now almost 8 years old. Maybe it is time to implement it?

They have. I wasn't asking them to remove the shuffle function or button
entirely, just get it the **bleep** out of the way. With the old design, the
button was enormous and intrusive, plastered right on top of everything
else. It was SHUFFLE!!!!!! instead of Shuffle. Now it's much smaller and in
its place, but still right there waiting for you--silently, instead of
yelling "WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO PUSH ME I'M RIGHT HERE!"

BTW, what is shuffle used for? I have never understood the purpose with that button? I mean, why would I want to play songs in a playlist in random order??

You use shuffle because, if you listen to a playlist often, sometimes
random is better than the same old order. Try it some time.
