My itunes in my i phone will not shuffle my music lists ?

Question

my music list does not shuffle despite trying multiple times and resetting iphone.

Answer 1

Hi there I just upgraded my phone and kept having this problem on and off whilst in the gym and finding it very frustrating. I managed to fix it as follows :
After pressing shuffle and discovering that the same song keeps repeating, look at the top of the screen just below the part where there is a moving scale which depicts the progression of the song.
On the right you should see a smaller version of the shuffle symbol
On the left you should see a curved arrow.
If this arrow has a number one printed on it this means it will just keep repeating the same song over and over.
If you press it the "one" should disappear leaving just a curved arrow and you should find that the shuffle works again.
I think I must just have been randomly knocking it when tucking it in my pocket and it took me a while to work out what I had been doing.
Hope this works for others! (It might be why re-sinking ultimately works- because this also effectively resets the repeat function?)
