Can we talk about their insanely bad UI for a moment? The UI to play through things NOT as shuffle is unreal. Just look how hidden it even is on their website [0]. Consider how hard it is to play an audiobook, or an album in order.

Further, I have never once wanted to shuffle-play (I just don't like it). But I constantly have to uncheck shuffle on my playlists.

I would conjecture that it is intentional at Spotify to balance out per-play payments. But I doubt Spotify will confirm/deny this.
