So, my question: how do I fix My Music? How do I get FLOW or "Shuffle My Music" to have variety? How do I get more than one song from an artist (no matter how many albums and songs they may have) to play?

Repetitive "Shuffle my music" // keeps playing the same songs
Userlevel 4
I used to use FLOW all the time, but it played the same music over and over, sometimes one song would play twice in 15 minutes. When I recently discovered "Shuffle My Music" I was happy because I could see what was going to be played and it wouldn't repeat anything (at least not for the 50 songs of the playlist). However, "Shuffle My Music" still suffers from issues FLOW had, namely only playing one or two specific songs from favourite artists and playing the same songs every time. If I pressed "Shuffle My Music" multiple times you can be sure that 80% of the songs in any playlist would be in every other playlist.

It isn't just you 
I'll be passing your comments to our teams here at Deezer so they can look to improve the shuffle bit - thank you very much for your detailed reply 
Hi there - same problem. Happens on the android app and on a media box that we play through the TV. Family subscription. Many albums and artists liked. Startef our playing a wide variety of songs. Over time the shuffle my music list got smaller and smaller. Now only 9 songs play. @deezer - just admit this feature is helluva buggy, take it down and fix it.!

- You have a tab called My Music, which contains all the artists and albums and playlists that I have liked.
- So what I thought Shuffle My Music would do was take ALL that material and shuffle it.
Ok, got it 🙂 And yes, we are working on it. As mentioned above, it's a simplified version for now, but we're working on it. I'll let you know as soon as I have an update 🙂
Hi. Same problem here. On this weekend I've created a playlist with about 50 songs. From these songs I guess that "Shuffle My Music" played about 20 songs from the playlist on a period of two hours listening. Several songs repeated 5 to 8 times and most of songs never get played. It's clear that Deezer enters in a loop state that fails to play all the songs from a playlist.
I think that what everybody wants here (by the older posts) is a simple randomization of their playlist(s) that only starts to repeat songs after have played all the songs from the playlist. Programatically speaking it's is ridiculous easy to implement an array randomization.
It is really, really an annoying bug...
My subscription is Family and playing on an Android device. The same error is present in Deezer 0.7.3 from Windows Desktop.

Is the latest Deezer installed on your device?
Are you trying to shuffle online or offline playlists?
Same problem here. Even more :(
1. The "shuffle my music" is not different from the flow. I keep getting recommandations and songs that are absolutely not in my library (unknown song/album/artist)
2. It also gives me the same tracks over and over, even after emptying the cache, deleting all the data..for some reason the random selection sticks to 10% of my tracks (and the other ones) and just never plays the rest. I found out I had albums in my favorite that have litteraly never been played in years. And I have about 50, so the chances are high all of them should have been played.
It seems like the selection takes the listening history into account, because I get songs I used to listen to a lot, but which I never included in my library.
I tried everything mentioned here, upgraded to the Beta version, even deleted ALL my library manually and restored it... no change.
This is really frustrating. I mean, I guess not everything is technically straight forward, but even basic MP3 players in the 90s were able to shuffle a list of songs. How come we cannot just get a REAL random selection of all songs included in our playlists + favorite albums ? This is basic feature.
I came to Deezer from Spotify because of some bugs on advanced features, but at least they cover the basics.. thinking about switching again now..
