    It sounds like the repeat setting has been enabled. See page 21 of your iPod's User Guide for instructions on turning it off.

    If you have that second Nano, the one that is 1 3/4 inches, perfectly square, and your song is playing over and over, you need to put your finger on the double arrows that move to next song and swipe left. You'll get the screen with the repeat loop, the genius icon and the shuffle icon and you'll see that the repeat loop has a 1 showing. Just touch it and the one will disappear. It took me an hour to figure this out and I even got it twice and couldn't figure out what I did. It isn't in the current Nano instructions as the newer ones have easier access to these icons. This drove me crazy for about a week before I figured it out. I should have let a two-year-old figure it out. Quicker.
