Shuffle is not random

[sundayonmoon]

My shuffle is not working and it's really annoying. To explain what is going on:

I have about 50 songs from 5 artists and this is what happens on each shuffle:

It plays 5 songs from artist 'a' then 1 song from artist 'b', After that another 5 songs from artist 'a'. Then it plays 4 songs from artist 'b', 1 song from artist 'c' and another 5 songs from artist 'b' etc...

This is really annoying as it is not random at all

                     We need
          A shuffle that is Random

Dear Spotify,

We understand that many of our friends like the current NonRandom shuffle-- But we also need a truly Random shuffle that does not force an annoying pattern on either Artists or Albums.

Here is an example of what we need-- The following demonstrates how a truly Random feed works on All of Spotify--



          Random shuffle of All off Spotify >>  https://open.spotify.com/user/rednblu/playlist/4BIEfdQC3CXOa1N0mTFAEy <<

To play that truly shuffled stream of regularly updated tracks, dear Spotify--

* Turn off the Spotify Shuffle-- If you don't want the Spotify Shuffle to force some NonRandom annoying pattern of repeated Artists or repeated Albums.

* Start from the top of the above All of Spotify truly random feed.
* Play through until you want to stop.
* When you restart, just search for where you stopped, and start with the next track.
* Whenever the track where you stopped is not found, just play from the top again.

And surely, Spotify, you could automate that process to reStart on the next track after we last stopped in our random feed, yes?

Of course, this is just a WorkingPrototype-- Dear Spotify, You will need to put on Filters for what Not to play for us-- My friends suggest some form of ThumbsDown-- So that the "All of Spotify" feed Never contains any ThumbsedDown [Track, Artist, Album, Genre, Explicit, Christmas, or Classical] as of our choosing by giving us an operative and modern ThumbsDown function.

We need a truly Random feed of what we select-- We need to remove the truly annoying patterns that the current Spotify shuffle forces on Artists and Albums.

In addition to whatever so-called Shuffle you provide for our friends, we need a truly Random feed across all tracks that we select.  Thanks.

I've also begun to notice that when I hit random on one of my playlists (I have about 200 songs in the playlist) it plays the same 50 or so over and over! What's up with that?
