Obviously people have their preferences but there is a point you made that puzzle me:
>> "too many taps to[...]just shuffle play a playlist."
I don't have my phone on my but isn't there just a shuffle button on the play screen and I thought another one at the top of a playlist?
Personally I have an account with Beats and Spotify. I keep my Spotify one for desktop usage. I don't like using any streaming service through the browser but Beats really sucks atm. I have problems with songs not playing again after I've paused.
To shuffle a playlist, you actually have to hit the play button for the playlist so it begins playing in order. Then, you enable the shuffle feature in the now playing screen, and then you can skip past the first track to a random one.
I just checked and don't see any specific shuffle buttons, but if there's one I'm not seeing then that'd make me happier.
It's not a huge deal, but it's still one of those things I shouldn't have to do manually in this day and age-- shuffle is a rather standard feature.
Just checked and you're right. It's something I use on Spotify all the time but I guess I've never noticed on Beats - mainly because I'm listening to new curated playlists mostly so shuffle isn't a big deal there.
