I downloaded an audiobook from Audible, a .aa file. Everything was fine, except when I put it on my iPod and listen to all music on random, it will mix that audiobook in with the rest of the songs. I thought it was supposed to skip them unless you were playing from a playlist? Any idea how to fix this?

.aac not .aa.
The 4G iPods do have that option and there havebeen rumors of an update for Minis that will also bring this feature there. But for older iPods, you have to be happy with hitting the forward button on the iPod, or creating an on-the-go playlist.

No, it's a .aa file. I looked at it myself before I posted. And yes, it is a 4G iPod that skips every other audiobook on there. I'm asking why this particular file doesn't skip. Thanks for the help though...
