Hi everyone.

New (and very happy) iPod owner here. I'm super impressed with this site, which has helped me make a bunch of decisions about which iPod to get, what accessories to buy, and how to get the most out of it.

Here's my question: I use the iPod mostly in shuffle mode. It's awesome to be able to select a Genre or Artist and just let it randomly play music. However, I've often said "I want to hear this particular song" by the artist or genre that I'm shuffling. When I scroll to that particular song, I lose my shuffling (IE: it says "playing song 1 of 1". After the song's over, the iPod doesn't move on to anything. I then have to restart my genre/artist shuffle.

So, is there any way to shuffle a genre/artist, then pick a particular song within that sub-group, and have it go back to randomly playing after it's finished playing my custom picked song? This isn't about queing songs (which I can do with on-the-go playlists). I just want to immediately go to the particular song and have the iPod go back to the shuffle afterwards.

Thanks for any help.
