    iPod experts: what am I doing wrong?

    When playing music and I go to shuffle mode it just keeps playing the same song over and over. If I take it off shuffle then it plays the songs in order but I don't want an hour of beach boys followed by an hour of the beatles, followed by an hour of David Peel.

    What am I missing here?

                      If it's an ITouch/Iphone are you hitting songs then shuffle? Make sure you're in the upper most songs folder... before clicking shuffle.

                          chances are you are on REPEAT instead of shuffle.

                          used to happen to me all the time at the gym.

                              Well, that is what I thought too [since the songs keep repeating], however, while I see SHUFFLE as an option, I do not see REPEAT as an option. I seem to recall that there is a repeat option if I play the songs when attached to my laptop but I see no such option on the touch standalone.

                              Any idea where I would find that?

                                              go to the selection you want to shuffle and play the first song, then click the album art (aka the middle of the screen) and click the two arrows that cross each other that looks like an x (it's on the right side).

                                                          In all seriousness, it sounds like you are doing the right things. Perhaps there is a problem with your iPod?

                                                                          Well, that is what I thought too [since the songs keep repeating], however, while I see SHUFFLE as an option, I do not see REPEAT as an option. I seem to recall that there is a repeat option if I play the songs when attached to my laptop but I see no such option on the touch standalone.

                                                                          Any idea where I would find that?

If I take it off shuffle then it plays the songs in order but I don't want an hour of beach boys followed by an hour of the beatles, followed by an hour of David Peel.

Apple is very much an "Interweb" company and there are easy to find video tutorials for their products. On the "Interweb" you will also find these handy websites called "Search Engines." These "Search Engines" can be used to find pretty much anything you want.

                                                                                                      I know you're an older gentleman and as such you are probably not very familiar with these sort of things but if you try going to google.com (one of those new fangled "Search Engine" things), you may be able to find some of those videos from Apple that will show you WTF you are doing.

                                                                                                              There is this thing call the "Interweb". Apple is very much an "Interweb" company and there are easy to find video tutorials for their products. On the "Interweb" you will also find these handy websites called "Search Engines." These "Search Engines" can be used to find pretty much anything you want.

                                                                                                              I know you're an older gentleman and as such you are probably not very familiar with these sort of things but if you try going to google.com (one of those new fangled "Search Engine" things), you may be able to find some of those videos from Apple that will show you WTF you are doing.

                                                                                                                  I've picked up the manual to my camera once. Only did that because somehow it got put on a setting I never use and I needed to know how to turn it off plus there was no Interweb connection where I was shooting.

                                                                                                                  Typically I don't use printed manuals of any kind.
