Smart shuffle does not create a new mix/shuffle order

[#1]

Whenever I turn smart shuffle on, it does not generate a new shuffle order. It queues the exact same songs in the exact same order every time. Unlike regular shuffle which creates a new mix everytime it is turned off and on, smart shuffle queues the same exact songs. This is a very recent issue. Happens on both liked songs and playlists.

Hi, I have an issue with my spotify shuffle. I use spotify free, and whenver I shuffle my playlist, it plays my songs in the exact same order for a few hours throughout the day. like for 5 hours or so, if I go to that playlist to shuffle, it'll play the same order. Later, it will change but still play those songs in that same order if I shuffle again. Happens on my phone and on my computer, the same songs shuffled in a similar order.

Not my playlist starting from first song, it'll just pick a few songs and only go to those songs for a few hours if I press shuffle. Like it'll go to the same shuffle for a bit.

Obligatory post to remind that it's been forever and this still isn't fixed. How about you scrap the whole smart shuffle and bring back enhanced playlists which were so much better way to do what smart shuffle is trying to do.
