Other services might suffer from the same problem, but Spotify’s shuffler, for one, does not truly shuffle; it is useless, as is every other thing about Spotify. I can’t think of another company that has an unbroken 17-year track record of making their client worse with every single update and every single new feature.
Anyway, use https://spotifyshuffler.com/ to shuffle your playlists.

League of Legends is pretty close. It released in 2009, 3 years after Spotify. Its client has been getting worse every update for a very long time. Though they recently forced Vanguard into the game so I haven’t played it since I uninstalled right before that update.
It’s weird how many people look at me like I’m stupid when they find out I don’t pay for Spotify and I have my own music…
Sadly can’t be used on Liked playlist which is the one I shuffle more than anything. Guess I can make copies of it and shuffle.
That’s what I do. I’ve gotten into the habit of adding tracks to both Liked Songs and a separate playlist called Shuffle.
Thanks for shraing but I use RiMusic work with YouTube Music API and I think its shuffler is not good.
How well does this 3rd party shuffler work? I’m always a bit leery about giving out access to my Spotify playlists, but if I can get better shuffles that do not somehow repeat the same tracks I heard yesterday (out of thousands), I may try it.
I’ve used it for years without issues. It creates a new playlist with all the tracks in a new, truly random order, and then removes the old playlist from your library. Don’t think there’s an upper limit on the number of tracks. You can recover the playlists it removes from your library from Spotify’s own site if you want to go back to a previous version. I have never had to do this.
Call me old fashioned, but I still download my music.
I play them through Sony’s music App (I’m sure there are better ones out there), but the shuffle feature takes all the songs you want to play and creates a randomised playlist out of them - no song repeats!
Also, it means I get to listen to my music in complete lossless form without ads or the potential to lose connection to a service.
If you’re old fashioned, then so am I, exept I use plexamp, it’s not bad but it could be way better
same. navidrome shuffles pretty well
What helps a little bit is to turn off automix in the settings.
I think what it does is playing songs that blend/crossover into eachother smoothly. So on the same beat or tone or something like that.
It’s so bad that 3 of my most played songs are not my most favorite songs, solely because the shuffler keep shoving it to my throat over and over again. I mean, I like those songs, but not THAT much.
“All you need is lots more songs!”
