    Yeah okay, so they use the Fisher Yates algorithm. Then how the fuck in my playlist of 1000 songs am I CONSTANTLY getting hit with multiple songs by the same artist? Once in a while, okay, that's statistically likely, but not all the time, and not every time.

      how many songs by the same artist do you have in that playlist? Your comments here don't make sense. Repeating the same artist doesn't make something not random and definitely doesn't make it "the most 100 recently saved songs". In fact repeating the same artist makes it quite likely that it is random as randomness is frequently misinterpreted as non-random if you would have read the article I linked you would understand that.
