Why do all the same songs play on shuffle?

The same group of songs constantly play when I select shuffle regardless if it’s albums or songs.

Thanks for the reply!


If you haven't already, make sure the repeat option is not enabled when attempting to shuffle these songs. Follow the steps below to check:


Open the Apple Music app.
Play an album or playlist.
Tap the song that's playing at the bottom of the screen.
In the screen that appears, tap the Playing Next button Playing Next button in the lower-right corner.

At the top of the Playing Next screen, tap the Repeat button Repeat button until it changes to Repeat All. When the Repeat button is highlighted, Repeat All is turned on.

Hi Tjc1981,


Thanks for contacting Apple Support Communities!


We understand that when you attempt to shuffle songs on your iPhone, the same songs play.


Are you attempting to shuffle your library or an album?


When you shuffle music, we don't have the option to choose which songs to shuffle unless you've added them to a playlist, for example. You can learn more here: How to shuffle music on your iPhone - Apple Support


Feel free to share any feature requests you have with Apple directly here: Product Feedback


Take care!
