This article will show you how to shuffle music on Mac or PC. Shuffle is a mode that lets you listen to songs in a random order. This can be more interesting than other playing modes at times. You can play music in shuffle mode on Spotify, Apple Music, and other music streaming sites. This article will teach you how to use shuffle mode, how to turn off shuffle on Apple Music, and what to do if you can’t turn shuffle on or off on your Apple Music app.
Shuffle is a feature in iTunes that lets songs in a library play one after the other. If you turn this feature on, music files will be played in a random order. If you turn this feature off, iTunes won’t play songs in a mix mode. Instead, songs will play in order or in other ways. Sometimes, users may have turned on shuffle mode on purpose but forgot to turn it off, or shuffle mode may have been turned on by accident or oversight. iTunes would then instantly mix up the songs in a music library.

We know that Apple Music doesn’t play all of the songs in your playlists at once. Restart your iOS device. Make sure you have the most up-to-date software by going to Settings > General > Software Update. Try picking one of the songs that hasn’t been played yet and seeing if the songs keep playing as you said they would.
Apple Music’s Shuffle order is called “pseudorandom” because its system tries to put songs in an order that “looks random” but isn’t. The goal is to give you a mix of songs from your library without playing any song too much or too little.
