Unfortunately I can't do much as the shuffle song list is given by the artist's Top Song. As we can see from your screenshot the list is absent.

The reason I don't shuffle all the artists' songs is because there is no API call that returns them all to me, but only one call to get the artist's albums, and from the albums individual calls for the songs inside. Which means a far higher number of calls than the one to get the top songs.

The most straightforward thing we can do is disable the shuffle button.

That's kind of a bummer, it'd be really nice to just run through an artist on shuffle.

It looks like Navidrome Web UI doing it, and it works fine. This would be a must have feature if Tempo would ever implement it too.
