[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?

Lol, guess the button is staying. Dumbest design ever, but it's a "feature".

It's like being in a room full of people happily sharing or talking about
or listening to music with one big fat guy wearing neon green yelling
"SHUFFLE PLAY!!!" in everyone's ear every minute.

"SHUFFLE PLAY!"
"SHUFFLE PLAY!"

This is so hilarious and so true.

SHUFFLE PLAY! SHUFFLE PLAY! SHUFFLE PLAY! SHUFFLE PLAY! SHUFFLE
PLAY! SHUFFLE

There appears to be no option in playing an album other than hearing tracks in ”Shuffle” mode. Is there a way to listen to an album as originally produced?  There is always an intriguing rationale for playing songs in the order they were originally intended.

Currently to play an album in the order intended you have to press on the first song on the album itself and then make sure you haven’t got shuffle play on, having the huge green shuffle play button in your face is irritating and I’d much rather an option to make this just a play button like it is on pc.

Thank you.

How do you turn Shuffle off?

If I press the first song, will only that song play, stopping continuous play when it’s over?

To turn shuffle off open the screen where you can skip tracks, play/pause etc. and in the bottom left will be the shuffle option, make sure that is grey and shuffle is off, it will stay off until you activate it again. When you play a song it will then play every song after that song until there’s no more left to play.

Thank you! And kudos too!
