Why is my Apple Music shuffle not randomizing songs?

Whenever i try to shuffle my favourites playlist, it just plays the same songs on loop. The repeat button is switched off yet it plays the same songs. I tried deleting and downloading the songs as well, still the same issue persists. I want the shuffle order to be as random as possible. What do I do?

Apple Music only shuffles the first 100 songs on a playlist When I press shuffle on my playlist (on IOS and web), only the first 100 songs listed get shuffled. Then, once these 100 songs are played, the queue ends. I press 'shuffle', and check the queue. The first 100 songs exactly are shuffled, and any songs past the hundredth don't get played. It doesn't matter what order my playlist is in either, I move all the songs around and the new first 100 are played, followed by nothing else. This basically softcaps the amount of songs in a playlist to 100 for me, because I don't listen to playlists in order.

Apple Music shuffle doesn't shuffle! Okay so I thought it was just me having this problem but when I play on any device that supports apple music it shuffles in the same order over and over. even if I select a song from the middle of my playlist it will play the same songs in the shuffle mix. yes, I am aware that you can click the shuffle button to change it but it chooses the same songs to shuffle every single time. The algorithm is terrible when it comes to shuffling but hopefully, updates will fix this in the future.

Apple Music Shuffle Maximum Count Hi folks! I'd like to ask a question, is there any limitation on the maximum number of songs the Music app adds to the playlist when using Shuffle mode? I explain the scenario: I have a playlist with more than 200 songs, when I click on Shuffle to start playing, no more than 21 songs are being placed to be played, when I click on Shuffle again, it generates a new random order, but only 21 new songs. Is there an option where I can tell Shuffle mode to consider the entire playlist instead of just 21 songs? Thanks for everyone's help 🙃
