If you'll be patient with me just a moment, I'd like to mention one very
small point from a few pages back in this thread. It's probably not
significant, but it's possible that it's something you overlooked.

You said:

That's actually not the way it's supposed to work. Rather than using
your current Library View, Random Mix requires you to select the Library
View you want on the page defining the Random Mix:

34427

Maybe that's what you've been doing, but it's not clear from your
earlier comment. If not, try it this way and see if it helps.

In any case, a truly random sequence is very likely to include some
surprising coincidences. Just as on very rare occasions, somebody does
flip a coin one hundred times and have it come up heads every time.
