Spotify has a plan with which to try to attract a greater number of people to its premium planconsisting of gradually removing features from the free version of the appor by adding more attractive features to the “Premium” plan that will not be available in the free version.

The “Play” and shuffle buttons will be exclusive to Spotify Premium subscribers.

Spotify Premium will have the “Play” and shuffle buttons exclusively

Until now, Spotify included a “hybrid” play and shuffle button, which allowed you to start playing a play list or album randomly by default. in case you want follow the order indicated in that listit was necessary to access the player window, and disable the random mode.

That is going to change very soon. As the company has confirmed, from now on, the shuffle and “Play” buttons will be separate in Spotify Premium. Both will be available at the top of albums and playlists, so the user can choose how they want to play their music.

Nothing is going to change in the free version of Spotify, where users can only play their music randomly, with no ability to individually choose songs to play.
