Also asked, what shuffle means in music?

Shuffle play is a mode of music playback in which songs are played in a randomized order that is decided upon for all tracks at once. Shuffle playback prevents repeated tracks, which makes it distinct from random playback, in which the next track is chosen at random after the last track has ended.

Beside above, how does shuffle work? Every time you advance a song, you pick a random number between 1 and n and play that song. Every time you pick a song, check if the song is one of the last x songs you played. If it is, pick a different song, repeat. Keep a second list of songs, and shuffle that list with for example the fisher yates algorithm.

In respect to this, is shuffle truly random?

In fact, music players tend not to shuffle randomly. But that's because if it did, it would actually feel less random. Human brains will start seeing patterns in even the smallest coincidences – and in a long shuffled playlist, it's likely that certain songs or artists will come next to one another.
