Thanks. I'm genuinely curious about the UX that @StorminNorman has now. Premium users deserve a better experience.

Not normin but I've never had a problem either. Here's the screen I get when I open a playlist, can toggle between shuffle, smart shuffle and normal to the left of the play button.

Does yours look different?

Thanks! Glad to see they are no longer being complete idiots about it. I haven't looked at it since cancelling, but yeah it was very different. They had completely removed the control to enable or disable shuffle from this view, if you hit the play button it was going to shuffle, period. If you hit a track to start playback (in shuffle mode) on that track you had to then go to the now playing view and disable shuffle.

What a strange choice to make. I don't remember that ever being on mine but I'm not using it all that much so might have just not noticed to be fair.
