I posted this on the apple forums but they are operating very slowly these days.
Bought a silver iPod mini on Fri and while I love it, I’ve found two software bugs: When listening to a book on tape (“The da Vinci Code” bought from iTunes) I’ve found that if you’re more than 35minutes into the track and press the FF button (and hold) the iPod rewinds instead of fast forwards. On four other books I had the same problem.
The bug seems to only happen on long tracks (more than an hour) and only on AAC files. AIFF and mp3 files seem to play normally.
The nice people at “The Grove” Apple Store (never noticed how perfect that name is before) traded me for another brand-new silver iPod and I’ve got the same problem.
The temporary solution seems to be using the “scrub” function (press the select button when playing) and forward through the track.
The other bug is that when the iPod is shut off (or goes off automatically) on an audiobook, it automatically rewinds a minute when you press “play” and then it begins to play. This may be a “feature” but it means you have to listen to the same part of the book twice, and since the FF isn’t working it’s kind of a pain.
