itunes plays song repeatedly when on shuffle

I have iPod Touch 6 and whenever I play my music on shuffle it keeps putting the same songs in repeatedly even though they are in the playlist only once. Is there a way to avoid this?

iPod touch, iOS 9.2.1

Try:

- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost

Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at

least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

- Unsync/delete all music and resync

To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Manage Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
