Wait, free users of Spotify could not pick which track they listen to???

Well, on PC or tablet you always could, but on mobile it was always album random shuffle... and if you created an album of less than N songs, in mobile they added related tracks in the reproduction (radio-spotify like) so it remained not possible to control what you listen...

EDIT: I updated the verb tenses to the fact that now you can in the mobile app chose the song to play

No, you could tap shuffle on an album-by-album basis, or on a Playlist with like 10+ tracks or something.

This is why I never even gave Spotify a chance. It didn’t make sense to me.
