Shuffle repeating same songs

[jorcalzada]

I have approx. 4,300 songs and use shuffle to play all randomly, but it is tiresome to hear Poweramp repeating the same songs most of the time.

Any ideas how to avoid that? what criteria is used to shuffle?

Each new shuffle is completely new random list, it does not take into account what has been listened to previously.

Within one random playing session though (even if you pause it and come back to it later) you should not hear the same song twice until all of the songs have been played through (as Poweramp builds a full random list, rather than choosing a new song at random each time a song finishes which could have resulted in repeats).
