Prior to 8.4 I used to be able to select an artist and it pull up the whole discography in order. I could tap the first song and it would play the whole discography in order. Is there a way to do this now? Without making a playlist. That's pretty inconvenient for something that used to be native.
 
You still can, only I can only manage to play in reverse chronological order or shuffled. You can just tap the artist pic in Artist list view and it will start playing. Or you can go into an artist and it will show all the songs divided by respective albums like it has in prior versions. You can start playing a song and it will go through all the albums, or you can shuffle. This only works for music that's in your library.

Thanks so much! That was really eluding me. It's not a very intuitive UI element especially since they have never used it before. Does your default to shuffle?
