Itunes library won't shuffle when playing

After the latest Iphone update (10.0.2) my itunes library will not play shuffle mode. Even after I select shuffle, the itunes simply continues to repeat the same song over and over. I have to manually forward to the next song. Anyone have a fix for this?

iPhone 5s, iOS 10.0.2

Once you press Shuffle All, it will display a song in the bottom. The screen will look something like this:

Then tap on the song at the bottom to bring it into full screen, which will look like this:

Then, to reveal the repeat and shuffle buttons, scroll down in this view and you will see this:

If you have it set to repeat one song, shuffle will have no effect on music playback.

Make sure that you do not have repeat song enabled. Scroll down in the songs view to see the shuffle and repeat buttons.

If there is a small 1 in the repeat button as in the image below, it will repeat the same song.

If it looks like the next image below, then it will just repeat all of your songs (music playback won't stop when you reach the end, but continue again from the beginning).
