[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?

There you go Spotify - richadlin can't play tracks in order and can't see how to to turn "Shuffle" off... definitely a UX fail. 

Richadlin - ignore the giant green button that says Shuffle play and instead click the first track in the album when viewing an album. This will continue to play the entire album after the first track(Spotify seem to think this should be expected behaviour). 

Also check you don't have the Shuffle feature set (look for the two arrows crossing each other in the bottom right - if this is highlighted, click it to deactivate).

Thanks. Thought I did that but alas the green arrows were highlighted.

I am a Premium user. Spotify is driving me crazy because I can't disable shuffle play at all. Even if i start playing the first song in an album, it won't play the second one as next but a random one. Weird and disappointing. Anyone knows why?

at least they should add a 'Play' button next to it... so premium users have a choice... 

Stupid to grant free subscribers a glorious Shuffle button, but deny premium subscribers a Play button...

Exactly, I've paid for this crap for years and I want a play not shuffle.

please remove the shuffle button for premium on albums. click play on the first song ...
... plays the first songs of the album and than the next song of the queue instead of the second song of the album ...

Just remove it. Now!

Seriously, I absolutely cannot believe how far back I'm seeing people posting about this. Who the heck puts a giant play button set for shuffle as the default AND no ability to change/delete it? While I do like the service, it's not at all intuitive and it appears customer service is non-existent. 😞

REMOVE THE SHUFFLE PLAY BUTTON AS DEFAULT!

The huge shuffle button is totally confusing. I don't mind shuffle as an option, but as default I want to play albums as meant to be by the artist. After searching on the internet and on the spotify forums I now understand that I have to choose the first song. But it took a while before I foud that out! Really annoying an the big button doesn't make any sense!

Well, if Apple will fix their streaming service later this year I'm gone. This 'Shuffle Play' button and the fact that there is a limitation on the number (10.000) of tracks you can add to 'Your Music' are the main reasons I want to leave Spotify.
