Shuffle play is repeating the same songs again

[ws1482]

I have a 400 song playlist that has 26 hours worth of music. I listened to it on two different occasions today for a total of 2 hours. I heard 2 songs repeat themselves. How is it that a 26 hour playlist is repeating songs within 2 hours? Shuffle play is not working properly. Can we finally get this fixed?

Shuffle play has always been like this. It's actually random play rather than a true shuffle which is why this happens. There's a long-running idea relating to this here

Not fixing long standing problems seems to be a motif with Spotify. Utterly depressing.
