Remove Shuffle options from main player interface

[TheWalker]

Hi, 

I'll often switch from shuffle to 'play in order', and back again. However the only shuffle I use is 'Shuffle Songs' - because that'll keep it to the folder, or queue, or playlist I've selected. 

Would it be possible to have a settings option to hide the shuffle options I'll never use - so if only 'Shuffle off' & one other are selected - when playing hitting the button will toggle between, and if more selected, the list that pops up will be quicker to navigate as it'll show fewer options.

I asked a while back if we could have an option to make those buttons on/off toggles, with a long-press action still available to select different modes. If implemented, that would mean tapping the Shuffle icon would set it to the last-used mode (in your case, Shuffle Songs), and tapping it again would turn it off. Would that achieve what you want?

I think that might work for me. It would certainly be better than what there is now!

I  just use "shuffle songs" and "shuffle off". I wish there was a way to make those the only shown options (like on iTunes).

I mainly use Shuffle All Songs or Shuffle Off, so like you a simple toggle mode would be useful. Long-press would still need to be available to show everything though, for the less common situations where I want to access other modes.

Yep - that'd be awesome.

I would like to remove the buttons so I don't accidentally press them

Use a skin, such as @flyingdutchman's YAPS, which offers the option to hide most user interface elements if you wish.
