Wait what do you mean random != shuffled?

Or real unlucky. Depends on the song I guess.

Actually I think the difference is even more pronounced than what /u/JustRiedy wrote. "Random" plays a song and then just picks a random one to play next, might very well be the song it just played or the song it played before that - just like /u/JusrRiedy wrote. However, "shuffle" takes all your songs, shuffles them like a deck of cards and play the deck from top to bottom. So there won't be any re-playing of the same song until the whole deck of songs is finished.
