Shuffle fails in the music app

Music app will shuffle for a while and then suddenly starts repeatedly playing songs from the same band. That is not "shuffling"! Why does this happen? Latest version of everything. Happens on my M1 MacBook and my iPhone.

Apple Music Shuffle and Play Next not working For the past few weeks Apple Music has not been playing anything I had queued up using “Play Next”, shuffle also does not work. For example, the next song in a playlist will play even though tapping the playing next icon in the bottom right indicates otherwise.

Apple Music shuffling on Web Player and Windows App I am having an issue with the shuffle function on the web player and new Windows app. It works just fine when I shuffle an album or playlist, but when I try to shuffle the songs from my library, a queue will not generate. This means it just plays the first song I have selected and when the song ends, nothing plays. I have shuffle selected in this scenario too. This affects both the web player and Windows app simultaneously. Does anyone have reference for how to correct this issue?

Apple Music only shuffles the first 100 songs on a playlist When I press shuffle on my playlist (on IOS and web), only the first 100 songs listed get shuffled. Then, once these 100 songs are played, the queue ends. I press 'shuffle', and check the queue. The first 100 songs exactly are shuffled, and any songs past the hundredth don't get played. It doesn't matter what order my playlist is in either, I move all the songs around and the new first 100 are played, followed by nothing else. This basically softcaps the amount of songs in a playlist to 100 for me, because I don't listen to playlists in order.
