ipod shuffle stuck on one song

Have you checked to make sure the Repeat setting wasn't enabled? See your iPod's User Guide for more assistance.

I have the exact same problem. I have a brand new 4th generation iPod Shuffle. I subscribed to six podcasts in iTunes and then sync'd. The Shuffle will only play the first podcast. If I hit the "next" button, it doesn't do anything. If I let the podcast play to the end, it just restarts. If I resync, it will remove the podcast I've listened to and then only play the next podcast.

As far as I know, there is no "repeat" function on the 4th generation Shuffle. If there is, can you please provide the page number in the manual that explains how to shut it off?

After some searching and fiddling, I've discovered that I can get the Shuffle to play more than one track if I use manual syncing. I have to manually drag-and-drop anything I want to load on the device. It's irritating but it works.

I did not find any follow-up to this problem. I eventually had to re-sync my music to the iPod through iTunes on my windows PC to get it working again.
