iPhone plays songs in the middle of songs

Hello everyone!

My iPhone always plays songs from where they left off. This would be fine if it just did this for the last song I listened to, but it does this for absolutely every song that isn't finished to its entirety.
I have musical adhd, so I'm always skipping around through different songs. There's nothing more irritating than when I'm listening to music, and half of the songs on my playlist start playing in the second half of the song.

Is there any way I can turn this irritating feature off?
Thanks much!

Toshiba, Windows Vista

Here are a couple of articles from the apple support website that might help out.

You might need to reset and or restore the iphone to resolve any software issues.

Also, you might want to check itunes.
Find one of the songs that seems to remember the playback position.
Right click, or control click, on the song and choose get info.
In the info window, click on the Options tab.
There is a check box to remember playback position.
If you do not want the iphone or ipod to remember where you left off, make sure this box is unchecked.

Hope this helps.

I don't think that's a feature; I think it's a problem. It's only supposed to do that for the last song you were listening to. Have you tried a reset or restore?

Also, you might want to put a checkmark in the box mentioned by Damon, then uncheck the box and hit "Ok" to be sure the setting is set to all of your songs.
