I don't know how a regular iPod works but with the Shuffle I don't  
have to worry about the "Remember Position" thing. I've figured out  
that if I pause the Shuffle and turn it off before the little LED  
stops blinking, it will continue from where I left off when I shut it  
off. Should I turn it off without pausing, or turn it off after the  
LED stops blinking, the next time I turn it on it starts back at the  
first track. This only works if I don't plug it into the computer.  
After plugging it in to the computer it always starts back at the  
beginning . I had some audiobooks that were one large file and it was  
a pain when my battery died. I'd plug it into the computer to  
recharge then have to fast forward through hours worth to get back to  
my position. This is why I bought a wall charger as it doesn't loose  
it's position this way.
