My Question or Issue

The new Spotify UI update sticks the Repeat functionality in an ellipsis menu in the upper right hand corner.  I use this functionality many times on a daily basis and have for years.  In addition to having to reset to repeat one every time I change tracks (that setting used to save) and hit next track, now I have to go into the ellipsis menu every time too.

I can't tell if I'm part of an A/B test because friends of mine haven't seen this yet and there's no forum posts talking about it.  However, it seems like it's part of UI overhaul based on how it looks and the latest tweet from Spotify Cares.  I never use the favorites functionality so this update is a straight downgrade for me.

I doubt I can do much except repeat how negatively this impacts me.  My guess is this change will happen no matter what.  That said, I would kill for either getting the repeat functionality back in the main window, or just having a repeat one setting that doesn't constantly turn off whenever I change songs.
