Ipod shuffle plays in reverse when restarted

Question

Ican play my Ipod shuffle in shuffle mode for an Hour today and when I play it again tomorrow in shuffle mode it will play the same songs from where I left it but in reverse order. So even though I have 8 hrs of tunes stored I effectively only hear the same songs over and over again .
Any advice.

I have found another disadvantage to using Dopi.
I've had times when a podcast doesn't get downloaded fully: after downloading an episode of an hour-long program the podcast shows up in iTunes as being just, say, 23 minutes long. Normally you could delete that episode, click the right-pointing arrow in the line with the name of the show (NOT the line for the episode) to bring up the show in the iTunes store, and download the episode again (and again, and again, sometimes).
If an episode doesn't download properly in Dopi, clicking on that arrow in the show name's line brings up the show's website, and often you cannot simply get a particular episode of the podcast from that website.
This is not so much a complaint about Dopi -- not much they can do about it, I reckon -- but about the fact that we need something like Dopi at all. Feh.
For me, it is only "Talk of the Nation - Science Friday" that I want in order, as they break up the two-hour show into segments (convenient, yet not so for the Shuffle) and often talk about what's been said in a previous segment, which for me comes later. I've dropped Dopi and now I either load just one segment of Science Friday with a few other shows, or I load all the segments and mutter under my breath when I hear references to a previous segment I'll not hear until after the current one.
