iOS 8.4 how do I turn off music shuffle

I have an album (Opera) where order is important. The new Music app keeps shuffling it ... and filling an up next list ... how do I p[lay tracks 1 to 82 in order?

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3)

After about two months of trying to solve this problem intermittently I finally realised that in iPhone 6 with browser enlarged the shuffle/repeat buttons are BELOW THE SCREEN!! You need to scroll down to see them when you look at a song. Doh!!

Finally figured it out. Thank you yogi. My screen is completely different than described above, but your description pointed me in the right direction. I'm to IRRITATED to explain the difference right now.


HOW FRUSTRATING IS THIS PROLEM? We buy album, but need to fight our way through this COMPLICATED MAZE OF CRAP to listen to the songs in order. Here's an idea apple, you bunch of stupid geniuses, how about a Shuffle "on - off" button....hmmmmm.... to simple?

Thanks for letting me know where to tell Apple how rubbish this design for playing album tracks is. I wrote to that website:


"I like to listen to album tracks in the order they were originally intended (especially classical music - essential) but it seems the default is to shuffle them. The big red shuffle button, which would the obvious place to change the default doesn't do anything - crazy. I finally found in a forum a complicated way of selecting currently playing track and changing the shuffle default on a tiny greyed out icon at the bottom left hand side. Please change it to default proper order, and make the changing of the default options more obvious."

Thanks so much for showing the solution. And I agree it's ridiculous to have to go into one track to un shuffle an album or playlist.

i was just avoiding iTunes on iOS because of this feature....geared for young people who like top hits. In the last week David Bowie died

and I wanted to listen to the albums the way he intended them to be heard....they way I remember them. So thank you....folks making up for when companies get it wrong!

Thank you. This is super-helpful. But it didn't help ME!!! I honestly think there is a bug on some phones or something. Try as I might, my songs reshuffle after I hit Done (after trying to order them again). Order is very important to me as I am a fitness instructor trying to run a class! Good thing i have found other apps I can use for this purpose!!

I recommend uploading your music library to google play music (up to 50,000 songs free) and managing your music through their app. It will be limited to 256kbps and won't work for obscure recordings but is a better user experience overall. I limit downloads/streaming to wifi and set my library to downloaded only to limit wireless data usage.
