Can't turn off Genius Shuffle

I listen to Apple Music on my MacBook Air and somehow I clicked on Genius shuffle. I cannot turn that off or disable it. This is so strange. Anybody know how I can turn this off or disable. I don't want Genius shuffle activated. I can see the Genius icon where the "rewind" button would normally be.

Thanks

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.2

Music Shuffle- Why does Shuffle not work on either of my 2 MacBook Pros or my Mac Mini? When I click on "Shuffle" the app picks one track at random but then repeats that one forever & the shuffle icon stays the same colour. This started a few months ago. Before that Shuffle worked fine. Is it because I don't pay for an add-on app of the same name that I don't want because I mostly listen to music in places where internet is unavailable or eye-waterimgly expensive [Try streaming "Money, money, money" in St. Helena Island!]?

Music app Shuffle randomly stops shuffling I upgraded to a 2020 mac mini M1, currently running OS 12.2.1, but every since I got it a couple of months ago, when I put the Music app in Shuffle mode (for all songs, not albums or groupings, which includes thousands and thousands of individual songs) within a half hour to an hour it stops shuffling of its own accord and goes into playing the song catalogue in alphabetic order from the song that it decided to stop shuffling on. This is super annoying, as I have to then re-establish shuffle mode manually every time it does this. Is there a fix for this? I've searched for hours and turned up nothing useful on any forum out there, including this one. The only entry about it here that started to get addressed, iTunes Shuffle Randomly Stops Shuffling - Apple Community, got ghosted before any real resolution was posted.

Apple music randomly stops shuffle Any idea why Apple Music randomly stops shuffle? There's no rhyme or reason to it, sometimes it will go for most of the day before stopping shuffle, other times, it's almost immediate. I have a MacBook Pro 16" running Catalina 10.15.7 and all music is onboard, not streaming.
