Press on the album art, press the shuffle icon.
In Zune music swipe sideways untill you get to songs, then select shuffle all

Whoa.
And here I thought WM7 would be user friendly. I still can't do this. I've got a playlist, some albums... Is it that hard to include a shuffle button at the bottom?
When I long-press on the album art I either get a grey "share" option or the following options: "add to play now", "delete", "pin to start".
I'm honestly not taken in by this player. How do you shuffle songs?
EDIT: The only reference to shuffling that I saw was the on the "all songs" list. But I want to shuffle an album, not the whole songs library.
I had a Zune HD for a year and the controls were spot on (music & video), I don't know why they were not ported straight to WP7 but hopefully that will be updated soon.

Are you suggesting the feature is not there, or that using it is shown in the YouTube video? (I can't watch YT videos at this very moment...)
EDIT: After more Googling, I found the answer to my question. To get to those features one has to tap the album art.
I always associated "pressing" on phones with a "long press", which in this case brings up the Zune context menu for that given object, but doesn't contain the shuffle option.

ok, step-by-step
- Open Music & Videos
- Select Music
- Select your artist (Click the artist name, rather than the Play button next to them)
- Select your album (if you want to play all the album, you can just click the album art at this stage, which will immediately start playing the album)
- Select the album Art (not long press, just a tap will do)
This will make the album art gray out and 3 button will appear over the top of it, the first being Repeat, the middle is like/dislike/no opinion, the 3rd is the Holy Shuffle Button
I've never owned or used a Zune device before so can't comment on whether it's better/worse/different/the same. But it's easy enough for me.
Note: When you're in the WP7 Library, the "Play" button you'll see next to the artists name in Artist View (for eg.) immediately plays all that artists songs you have. Just an FYI as the Play button pops up in a few places and has different effects than Selecting the artist by tapping their name for example.

The feature is there but if I remember correctly on the Zune HD it appears on the screen without the need for a long press.
The video just highlights differences between Zune on the Zune HD and on WP7, for instance on the ZHD you can fast forward a video by sliding on the playing bar.
In the "Songs" menu, once I've found the song I want to hear first, there's no way to then shuffle the rest of the songs. After the selected song is finished, it goes on to the next song in the list. A bad omission.
whilst the song is playing, where the album art is, click on it... three icons will appear over the album art... shuffle, repeat, favorite (i think).
Yeah thanks..I found it
Try this
I have a brand new Nokia WP7 and was having a little trouble finding this option, but it does exist. Yes, you can shuffle play your playlists!
Go to your playlist, pick a song out of the playlist. When the graphic of the song comes up, there are three icons on the RIGHT. The icon in the middle that looks kind of like a set of headphones/crab is the shuffle icon. I thought it was some kind of share icon, so initially ignored it. Just turn it on and you are good to go.
Aside from the little hiccup, I am loving my WP7.
How can I add a single song to a playlist in Mango RTM? Every "add to playlist" option adds the whole album. Is this possible?
Adding a song to a playlist.
Choose your current playlist you want to add to.
Start playing one of the songs in the playlist and click pause.
Hit the back button and find a song you want to add.
Hold down on the song and choose "add to now playing"
Keep doing this until you have all the songs you want.
Then tap the 3 dots on the bottom right of the paused song.
Choose "save as playlist" and name the playlist the same as before (will overwite it) or make a new one.
So, on my LG Quantum, I was trying to create a new playlist from my existing mp3 files. When I do this, it creates a playlist with everysong.
So what's the point of creating a playlist if it has everysong?
Also, I am not seeing anyway to adjust the order of a playlist.
When I shuffle, it switches from playing a playlist, to playing all music.
Maybe it's as simple as clearing the music that is considered now playing. But, I am not seeing where that is displayed.
Starting up Music, the first screen says
Zune, with items (music, videos, podcasts, radio, marketplace)
The next screen says Histroy with tiles of songs and playlists.
The only menu options are play music and search marketplace.
The next screen says new with tiles of songs and playlists.
Again, the only menu options are play music and search marketplace.
The next screen says apps.
It lists MSN Money Stocks, and YouTube and YouTube again.
The only menu is search marketplace.
The next option takes me back to zune.
Since I want to create a playlist, I select music.
I can play an album and create a playlist from it.
If I play a song and create a playlist, it puts every song on my device in the playlist.
If like an album, but don't necessarily want all the songs of it in a particular playlists, I see no way to remove a song from a playlist, or create a playlist without the one song.
Anyone know how to create a playlist. Then add just the songs that you want to the list. Then shuffle the playlist. Then later remove and add songs to the playlist.
If there is an app that accomplishes this, I am fine purchasing it. I am just a little shocked that this is not built in or easier to figure out.
After going here: http://windowsphone.uservoice.com/forums/101801-feature-suggestions
And reading all requests for playlist, the feature just is not implemented well.
There is not a good way to create new playlists.
Only thing I can think will sort of work is to create a playlist on your computer with 1 song that you like or just a 1 second or shorter song of just silience.
Sync that your device. Now you can play the playlist. Then add songs to the now playing. then create a new playlist from that.
It's a lame work around and it won't get around the fact that you can't remove a song from a playlist.
Is there anyway that anybody has figured out to make a playlist on the gear 2 music player? I use my gear alot at the gym and connect it to my bluetooth headphones but all the music I sent to the my gear is just one big alphabetical playlist. Is there any way to either make a playlist on the gear or even reorder the songs the way I want as opposed to alphabetical order because that sucks bad. Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks in advance
I was wondering the same.

When you're in the music player, press the top right icon to get to the now playing list and then press top right again you'll get a list of tracks on the watch, you can scroll to playlists, albums, artists and folders here so it definitely supports playlists to some degree but there's only 4 default playlists of recently played, recently added, most played and favourites. You can add tracks to favourites by holding down on them in the tracks list and selecting "add to favourites" so it seems you can use favourites to create one single playlist but you can't set an order as far as I can see so the tracks will still order themselves alphabetically by artist.
If you hook it up to the computer there is a playlists folder but it doesn't seem to do anything. I've copied m3u and pla playlists into both the music and playlists folder to no joy. You can create new folders within music and use the folders menu on the watch I suppose but that's gonna put them in alphabetical order so I guess the only way to make a playlist on the watch work in anything but alphabetical at the moment would be to edit the id3 tags of your mp3s to make them all appear to be on the same album. The existance of a playlist menu and playlist folders is a good sign though I assume.
Thanks dominoid I do indeed appreciate the help. It may not indeed fix our problem totally but its a great start maybe in a future update they will fix this. In the mean time at very least I can make a favorites playlist just for thr gym until someone figures out another way. Needless to say thanks for info on the favorites playlist I was unaware of it :good: edit......However I did figure out after playing around with it that when you put songs in your favorites playlist it doesn't put them in alphabetical order it puts them in the order you put them in the playlist meaning the first song you put in there will be last in the playlist and the very last song you put in the playlist will now be first. So although it may be tedious and time consuming it technically is possible to put one playlist in the order you like.....better than nothing I suppose.....thanks again for your help
Every time I open Google Music and start playing a song in an album it will auto choose shuffle all. I don't want to shuffle the songs! Any ideas?

1. Turn off shuffle.
2. Do not press the giant play button on the upper right side of song lists or albums. It automatically shuffles.
3. Try clearing your current play queue.
4. Still doesn't work? Contact Google.
