[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?

Any updates on this

Or just stop subscribing to Spotify and start using Tidal instead. Worked for me.

When you tweet about this issue (which I have) you'll get a standard answer and they point you to this forum.

I just annoyed them with this:

Oh dear @Spotify @SpotifyCares ignoring this forum has meant folk recommending rival services https://community.spotify.com/t5/Live-Ideas/Remove-the-darn-shuffle-play-button/idc-p/1244670#M58346... - time to remove?

@duffaSteve Hey Steve! Thanks for the comments. We'll make sure they're passed on to the relevant folks /MW

So I replied with:

@SpotifyCares *yawn*... again?

@duffaSteve 1: We always look for ways to improve the app, including regularly checking our Ideas Board for great suggestions.
@duffaSteve 2: If we have any update about this idea, we'll make sure to post it up there /MW

I just don't think they care. The only reason can be financial. Why on earth would anyone think *only* having a shuffle button is a good User interface. How does it work on Tidal? Can someone please screen shot the UI?!

I just quit spotify over this. Good luck to you all...

Shuffle play makes no sense if you listen to classical music or other music where tracks somehow form a bigger composition. I cannot help but feel that the unavoidable shuffle play button is an unfortunate spill-over from using music as background noise... Thoughtless or even stupid

Remove it

Yes please remove that annoying big Shuffle button, it's distracting unnecessary. We always have tt remember to unchecked it at the bottom of the page, its senseless. I listen to a Symphony or Concerto want to listen in order. PLEASE REMOVE IT. If someone wants tt use it still can turn ii on at the bottom of the page

When selecting Shuffle Play on Christmas popular list, it kept playing Katy Perry, Lady Gaga and Adele! Wth?! We just wanted some Christmas music while decorating our tree! Frustrating!

yes, please remove it. It's too easy to hit it by accident, and then you have to go searching for the solution on how to disable it..(which is here, I know, but still)
