Q: Songs repeated in shuffled playlist
I have a 64gb iPod Touch 5th generation, and I sync it with a PC running Windows 10. Lately when I shuffle a playlist on my iPod, some songs get repeated after a while. (I'm sure I don't have the "repeat" mode turned on.) I don't even think the most recent iPod software update is causing this, because I've shuffled songs many times since then without having this problem. That is, until this past week or a few days ago. Would my iTunes library relate to this problem, or is it my iPod software? Is there a way to keep songs from being repeated while shuffling playlists?
