I don't know what you mean about the mobile experience. I've never really been a fan of shuffle and whether I'm listening on mobile or not doesn't affect that. Especially since I often use my phone connected to my stereo to listen to music in the kitchen. My mother on the other hand uses Spotify on the PC connected to her TV in the living room or on her phone with headphones and mostly uses shuffle in both modes.

>(and to be fair, shuffle fits more the mobile experience) Can you explain the logic behind this? I don't want shuffle play unless I specifically ask for it, and that's independent of whether I'm on mobile, desktop app or browser-based. And it's certainly a pain to turn off on mobile now (the latest change seems to turn it on by default, which I'm not a fan of). As an aside, I think the recent update to the Spotify app is a mess, and they seem to remove features (such as not wanting suggested songs in a generated playlist) at a whim.

    I actually do want to hear a playlist in the same order most of the time. I often make playlists so that songs come in an order where I feel they build well on each other. Also it means I build the same expectation for what the upcoming track is as I have when listening to an album.
