[iTunes] Shuffle Problems

[Mark O'Brien]

I don't know if it's related to your problem, but I've noticed that when I
manually add podcasts to my iPod Shuffle playlist (I have it set to remain
in iTunes, even when the Shuffle is not connected) and then move them to the
top of the list (or wherever), they don't actually move on the Shuffle.

In other words, in iTunes I move my various songs around in the sequence I
want to play them, synch the Shuffle, then unmount and turn the Shuffle on
in the middle position (play in sequence), the songs play in the sequence
I've put them in. Not podcasts, although I have to say I've only noticed
this behavior since using iTunes to download the podcasts - I didn't have
the same problem when using iPodder.

Apparently, either iTunes or the Shuffle don't consider podcasts as simply
longer mp3 tunes, and they behave differently.
