Shuffle plays the same tracks

[sjp1966]

I often use the shuffle function on all songs, but it always seems to churn through the same tracks each time. There are over 3500 tracks on my all music, and some i never hear. I reaslise this as I play individual albums and tracks. I dont suppose there is any counter to this but is anyone else having the same issue

Do you have repeat on when you play from the playlist? From what I understand Spotify has a tendency to play only a portion of the playlist, rather than play the entire list. Turning off repeat should, in theory, result in pulling from the rest of the playlist instead of going through the same tracks over and over.
