Amazon music/ Alexa- a test please

[Jimbob54]

Very odd occurences. My preferred method of playing music is to ask an Alexa device to "Alexa-shuffle my Amazon music" which has until recently given a good shuffle across my whole (70k+ tracks/ 7k albums) amazon music library. (Usually this is on a Wiim mini by the way- not actually played through an Echo speaker or the like)

Tonight- it seems to want to only provide a shuffle of tracks by (mainly) one artist. This seems to apply regardless of which Alexa enabled device I play on/ command.

Can anyone else with a decent sized Amazon Music library and an alexa device do a quick test to see what that command drags up- even better if you have a device that will show you the play queue to see how "good" a shuffle it gives?

I can only imagine either the Amazon servers are having issues or someone has goosed the underlying algorithms behind the commands.

EDIT/ UPDATE not 10 minutes later - seems to be fixed. See if anyone replies with similar issues then will request thread closure tomorrow.

EDIT 2- Nope, broken again.

Li'l bump on this as it is still making a play queue made up mostly of one artist (or possibly 3 or 4 albums). Be interested what any other members get from this Alexa command at the minute

Issue seemed to resolve itself for a few days but last night was back to this BS again, playing the same very limited selection (mostly from 2 or 3 durutti column records).

Can anyone else test this?
