[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?

Man, if you press the first song, it is automaticly in order... What is your darn problem? Why do you want to go to Amazon? Insane?

God darn... Press the first song. I like the giant shuffle button. If I want something, like a playlist, in shuffle, I am able to press it. So: What do you want? A button, which makes the same like pressing the first song in the album?

Oh man...

I don't want any Play or Shuffle button displayed. It should be made optional in the settings, so people can choose for themselves if they want to have a huge, pointless, UI distorting button displayed...

It's so ridiculously that this is still not just an option that I can turn off. Even if it's part of your business model to try and push new songs to people, why not add a setting for us that will never shuffle, and just don't want to see that ugly big button. PLEASE, just do what's right.

Spotify VERY ignorant with this issue. I am very shocked at their attitude

Can you please just remove this anoying big shuffle button. I don't need it and it looks really bad. Thank you.

I upgraded to premium, and still cannot get the unshuffle to stop on my iphone. Its worked on my ipad but not the iphone.Every time i try to unshuffle the darn playlist the little icon tells me i need to upgrade.

I'm also getting ads in what I assumed was a month of proper trial premium usage. How am i supposed to decide if i want your product if you dont actually *give* me the premium features?

Hi All, I agree the shuffle button is annoying if you do not use. Should have an option in settings to disable it. 

Also would like to see an Album Player view Option as well. One that just shows Ablums. I dont want to see Featuring, Top Results,Songs,Artists or PodCasts, etc.

I wonder if anyone from spotify reads these comments? This big shuffle button is still bad design and unwanted please remove it or give the option to disable.

They probably made this decision based on stats on how most of their users listens to music.
I mostly listen to albums, therefore i find the missing 'Play' button ridiculous. But most, especially younger users just listens to songs on playlists.

You can be fairly sure that even if they did read these comments, they would not give a **bleep**, they are notorious for not listening to what users want. (even if they appear to in occational comments).
I mostly just wish they'll fix some of the bugs so the app could play without having to be force closed so many times a day.

At least make it an option to change from "Shuffle Play" to just "Play". I realize I may be an exception but I never want shuffle. There are so many great things about Spotify. Fixing this would add to that list.
