While listening to Larry Lessig’s 1 hour 36 minute long podcast, my iPod Shuffle starting cracking up and being really slow to respond to pausing, forward, rewind, etc. It wasn’t the track, because it was fine when played on my computer. I thought I’d done something to break it, but it turned out that when I changed to another track, it was fine.

So my conclusion is that the software in the Shuffle has a bug for very long tracks. Not too terrible, but I do hope they’ll fix it in an update.
