Thanks for your report. The 20.08 version has a much improved shuffle mode where this problem is fixed. A new song can be played only once in a row in shuffle mode.

Where can I download the 20.08 version? It doesn't appear in APT.

You could test the 20.08.1 version through the use of Flatpak. See https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.kde.elisa .

Apart from that, it is likely Kubuntu might not update the version for your version (20.04). You can always use Kubuntu support channels to ask for confirmation.
