[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?

I don't understand why people still use Spotify when they're annoyed by the
big, green, shuffle button. I changed to Tidal, problem solved.

Using Apple music. That has become quite ok.

I registered at Spotify this evening. I got completely confused with that huge green Shuffle button. What do you mean with shuffling the songs, that should be a small option somewhere near the Play button. Apparently there is a difference between free and premium users. Well whatever, it is redicilous. Make it a huge green Play button and I am happy. Thank you.

I simply want a big PLAY button... Didn't get premium for shuffled albums...

I will pay you to get rid of this button. I hate shuffle SO MUCH. I prefer entire ablums chronological, in release order. Oldest to newest, one band at a time. I hate that I have to build artist playlists in this manner. You should be able to just "Play All" on the Artist page, and start at their very first song on their very first album and go forward. Or at least enable an "Sort By: Album > Oldest first, Newest first, Title"

Yes, terribly annoying, replace it with a normal "Play" please.

Agreed just remove the darn play button. I also listen to albums .never shuffle. I just paid for premium family and now I'm annoyed. I'll be looking for a 3rd party app for now, but there are alt music services that are more responsive to their paying customers.

the point to give the user an option of either removing the button or switch it from shuffle play to play. Why is a discussion needed at all about something that is so obvious?

[FreeJAC]

Play would be fine, but I would prefer to get rid of it all together. We are not children that need big buttons in the way of the content on small screens. That button stick out like a sore thumb in the app, looks slopy IMHO.

If Apple Music had a web option and was more open, as a platform, I'd go there instead. If Groove had family plan, I'd go there instead. If Google Play Music had a Windows App, I'd go there instead. They all suck in their own way.

I have an android phone, and I can't get my playlists, or albums to play in order. What am I doing wrong? Or is it me?
