Interesting tip on accessing the shuffle and repeat buttons in Music. I use shuffle often but always when starting a playlist, not after I've already been listing to the first few songs. Maybe that's why the option to toggle shuffle on/off is somewhat hidden. It's really easy to start a playlist shuffled.

Also I think having the "up next" section as a simple swipe up is a big improvement and much easier to access once you know it's there. What they maybe should have done is include some form of visual clue that you can swipe up to access more info/features. That would also have assisted with knowing where the shuffle/repeat options are.
