Playlists repeat songs in shuffle mode

[Puffdaddy]

Hello All,

With nearly 1000 songs in my Thumb's Up playlist, Pandora autoplay will repeat a select group of them frequently, and rarely, if ever plays many songs.

I had figured that the entire playlist would be exhausted before any repeats occurred, no?

If anyone has a hint as to how I can fix this, I'd be deeply grateful. I do have the paid subscription.

Thank you and all the best,

Christopher

I have read these threads, changed to where all of my "albums" are on to shuffle, and have filled in the blue circle to shuffle (although I'm not sure why these are my albums...but I digress) the same issue.

I normally only listen on my phone: Samsung Galaxy.  

This shouldn't be so difficult just to shuffle my playlist of 740 songs.  I get the same handful each time.  

QUESTION - does each song need to have the blue check for "collected"?  I don't really know the difference between collected and playlist.  Although I've searched it. I still don't. 

Thanks!
