Shuffle doesn't play all songs

Do you have a link for that. I did a search for the discussion but can't seem to find it. Thanks.

Hi. I have read through that post, but that doesn't seem to be my issue. My problem is that it shuffles through part of the songs that I loaded but not all of them before it goes back to the top and starts again. I've just gone through the entire list of songs. I created a playlist from the shuffle, disconnected it, sat with my headphones and the playlist in front of me and went through them sequentially. All the songs play fine in sequential mode, but there are many songs that never came up when played in shuffle mode. Also, before I had loaded the songs I wanted to take with me, I had reinstalled the updater as the thing had crashed when I tried to remove everything first and turn off disk enable mode. Has anyone else had this kind of problem?

If that were true, then the shuffle will always play randomly, but in actually, what it seems to do is create a random shuffle order and then keep repeating that order. After hearing my songs once, I knew what order they would come up again. I can also track back 10 or 20 songs and those songs will play back in the same order again. On further testing in in sequential mode, I am able to play more songs (maybe all) randomly, but this was not how it was behaving when I was away. Maybe Apple can provide in a future firmware update the ability by pressing the keys in a way to re-shuffle the songs to keep a bunch of favourites coming up in new ways. I had no idea people were having so many problems. I love my ipod shuffle the way I loved my 2G ipod (which still runs quite well on the same battery!).
