| Summary | 0019999: Extra taps needed to play because 'Shuffle all' is missing from some views (regression) | ||||
| Description | When tapping a GenreName, ArtistName, AlbumArtistName, TrackArtistName, or ComposerName, MMA opens with Albums displaying by default, but all of those views don't display a 'Shuffle all' button at the top. This is problematic because: a) In many cases that is the desired action and it forces users into an extra step b) It's inconsistent with other views Affected views: GenreName > Albums ArtistName > Albums AlbumArtistName > Albums TrackArtistName > Albums ComposerName > Albums Note: This icon appears in almost every view. Since it's usually the action desired by default (excepting Podcasts / Audiobooks), we might want to consider placing it as a Floating Action Button (or we can wait for 2.0.1 to try that). | ||||

Deferring this to review: - which commands should appear at he top level vs within the overflow menu - which commands should appear as a floating action button Working around this in 2.0, by implementing 0020015. |

Turns out that this workaround is insufficient, as the most severe issue associated with this bug is the fact that it is a needlessly multi-step process to play tracks associated with ArtistName, AlbumArtistName, TrackArtistName, or ComposerName. e.g. MMA1: Tap ArtistName, Tap shuffle MMA2: Tap ArtistName, Swipe to Tracks, Tap Shuffle I would suggest that the simplest fix in the short term would be to add back the PlayShuffled button for the originally suggested views. |

It turns out that the idea of removing shuffle (0018905 option 2) was not a good one (for the reasons described in this bug). |
