Summary0019999: Extra taps needed to play because 'Shuffle all' is missing from some views (regression)
DescriptionWhen 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).
Additional InformationReported at ticket 5828 (and elsewhere)
TagsNo tags attached.

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).
