Excuse the cross-posts, but:

1.  My ISP only carries comp.sys.mac.systems of these groups
2.  There doesn't appear to be a newsgroup specific to iPod questions,
so I am shotgun-approaching this

I have an iPod shuffle, I want to tell it not to loop.  Is that
impossible?

What I am trying to accomplish more in general is, I want it to play a
playlist about an hour long while I am going to sleep.  I like to go
to sleep listening to music but I would rather not leave it playing
all night.

I was able to set the iPod Shuffle to synchronize to the playlist I
want, but there doesn't seem to be any way at all of telling it not to
keep playing it over and over forever.

Thanks for any help.

Actually, you can get to almost all newsgroups for free via Google
at http://groups.google.com or you can switch to a different news server
while retaining the same ISP.

Sorry, I don't know the answer to your iPod shuffle question. If all
else fails, go to Apple's iPod discussion group at
http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=152
and post your question there.

Thanks, I appreciate it

By any chance, can anybody tell me how to post a new topic to the
apple discussion boards the other person linked above?

The instructions say

"How do I create a topic or post a reply?
To start a new topic (for example, you want to ask a question that
isn't already addressed in the forums—make sure that you do a search
for your question first to avoid double posts of the same topic),
choose the appropriate forum for your question and click Post New
Topic at the top of the page. In the resulting page, type a title for
your topic in the Subject field, then type your question or message in
the Message box."

But there is no Post New Topic anywhere that I see.

I created a profile and subscribed to the group.

In the center of the topics is a column labeled 'Forum'. Click on it and a new
page will load with a link to 'Post New topic' above the listing of messages.

The actual link is http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=823

I use a utilitiy iSleep, which has a gentle fade-out and in. Runs on
your Mac, not your iPod, but it works great.
