It seems like your shuffle thinks the Play/Pause button is being pressed, even when it is not.


You may want to do a Restore on the shuffle in iTunes. It is on the shuffle's Settings or Summary tab in iTunes (depending on model). This will erase the shuffle, re-install its software, and set it to default settings. If some software glitch is causing the problem, a Restore should fix it.


Otherwise, if it's a hardware problem with the button's internal connections (so it acts like it is being pressed), a Restore will not help. I can't tell which iPod you have from the software version, but if it's less than one year old, it is under warranty (two years with AppleCare).
