I’m using the non-streaming Music. Why, when I have at least 1500 songs, and I hit Shuffle, does Music pretty much play the same songs all the time???

I'm new-ish to Affinity v2 and frankly didn't have much experience clipping or masking in Illustrator anyway. I have a large 2-layer background (a colored background with diagonal stripes on top) that I want to clip/mask to a certain size (I'm going to need to have different sized shapes for different collateral pieces). I've grouped the 2 layers. I've created a rectangle to the size I want to use as a clipping layer or mask. I've tried grabbing the rectangle layer and moving it above and below the grouped layers. It doesn't seem to be working. No masking, that I can see. I'm at a loss. Can anyone help me out?
