Q: iPod gets stuck on random songs when I try to go backwards in a playlist
I have an iPod shuffle 4th gen that has lasted me a year with no problems whatsoever, but recently it has started to screw up while I'm trying to look for a song in the reverse order of a playlist. For example, while I'm listening to a playlist but want to head back to a song that I listened to maybe 5 songs before, it will sometimes get sort of stuck on a song, and instead of moving backwards any more, it will continue to restart the song every time I press the back button. I know that the iPod is supposed to restart the song if you are more than 6 seconds into it, but in this case even if I'm less than a second into it, will restart the song. This makes it a pain when I go to a playlist and want to listen to a song towards the end of it, because I'll try just going backwards to get to it, but will then have to go completely around the playlist going forward instead.
iPod shuffle, Windows 10
