Ipod's shuffle function getting lazy?

I have a 20 gig ipod. I usually just leave it on shuffle. It has always shuffled properly, but lately it has been getting lazy. It will play like 10 songs from the same artist, in a row. Only has been doing it for the past week or so. I haven’t changed any settings nor plugged it into my comp nor done anything on itunes.

what’s the word?

do an ipod update?

Mine does that too, I mean I don’t have a lot of aerosmith songs on my iPod, but it will definitely play them really often…it’s really strange. I’ve actually gotten 2 of the same songs while shuffling through my songs once.

i 3rd that… i have over 3 days worth ofmusic on mine… yet it still shuffles the same 20/30 songs

welcome to apple folks!!!
