same song keeps playing on nano... Do I have to shake this thing after each song to get to another one???

Trish, I really think you'd benefit from reading the iPod nano user's guide. I think many of your questions will be answered there;

The information linked from this web page may also help:

you must slide to the left until you see the scriber line. On top of it you will see the continuous play option, genius and shuffle. Press the continous play option until it turns grey. You probably have the continuous play button on replay which is when the icon is blue and has the number one on it.

Hope l helped you

Thank you! That worked perfectly. ;-)
