[Android] Remove the Shuffle / Play Button

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?

Hey folks,
As some of you will have noticed, this has changed on iOS.
We've updated the idea, so that we can update everyone more accurately with regards to Android.
We're marking this as a 'Good idea', too.
Please know that your feedback is reaching the right teams here.

We'll post an update if anything changes!
Thanks

Adding to the request... please PLEASE change "Shuffle play" to "play" (same add the desktop app does) when in premium mode.

Even better: add a small "play" icon next to each album as all the other sensible players do!!

Please let me have a normal play button or no button at all (premium). Nobody wants to shuffle classical music.

Just remove the darn shuffle play button!

I think they are trolling us now.   The daily mixes have a "play" instead of a "shuffle" button, and I prefer to shuffle the daily mixes!  Someone at Spotify needs their head testing...

Suddenly the shuffle function wiggles when I want to choose a specific song. Why can’t I just choose a single song any longer?

On my sisters Android phone, the Albums showed a play button. On my iPhone
I get the Shuffle button.

You could at lest make it easier to turn off.

 

Can't play any of my albums without them automatically going to shuffle play. What a load of **bleep**. Goodbye spotify you useless piece of sh$t.

That button is the only one big enough to see and hit properly in the mobile interface. Please don't take it away from me!

I never, ever, ever want to shuffle play. EVER. Please give us Premium users a way to either change this to just "Play" or simply hide the button altogether.
