I’m loving using Plexamp, especially the visualizers, but I often find myself going back to the web player because of this feature being missing. If I want to shuffle a playlist, that’s easy, but I often want to start with a specific song in the playlist and then shuffle, which is not currently possible. It would be really nice to have a button next to the skip button that would shuffle.

Ah yeah, definitely something we left out in the minimalist vein. We may add it in the future 🙂

Repeating a playlist would also be a nice function 🙂

Yep, good old shuffle/repeat buttons. We were trying to be super minimal, but I get that some people expect them.
