Make 'smart shuffle' its own button or toggle.

Make 'smart shuffle' its own button or toggle, or let us disable the feature entirely in the settings menu. It's frustrating having to toggle past smart shuffle to get to regular shuffle every time, especially as there is a slight delay where it has to pre-load the suggested music.

I also have no idea why smart shuffle takes priority over regular shuffle in the order. Surely more users prefer to use regular shuffle, which means we're being given an extra click for no reason. Good UI design is partially about getting from A to B in as fewer steps as possible.

Please fix this.

That is BS cos I have a premium account and it's driving me crazy. I pay to listen to my choices, not theirs. 😡

Perfect example of an idea which should have been made optional

I miss the old shuffle, I miss tapping the shuffle button a few times to get the song I want. Now I have to shuffle, and if I'm not satisfied I have to leave the playlist and shuffle a different playlist just so I can shuffle said playlist again. I know I can just go to the song and tap shuffle a few times but it's not the same.

My experience is that "smart shuffle" is all I get. I cannot use just a shuffle for the playlist, I only have "smart shuffle" and this such a bad system that it never recommends music properly. Spotify doesn't have a shuffle that I have ever seen.

There seems to have been made a compromise. Smart Shuffle is now second on my list of shuffle types. Having previously gotten used to moving past smart shuffle, I now have to get used to just clicking once again — but that is minor.
