Resuming on shuffle

I really wish Zune would let you continue playing where you left off from a shuffle. For example, I primarily just set one of the headings (artists, albums, genres, etc.) to shuffle when I'm listening to music, but in the mornings it's too early for music so I'm usually on podcasts. The problem is when I go back to music I have to start the shuffle over again, and invariably I have to skip through a whole bunch of songs I just heard last time I listened to it. I have something like 4,000 songs on here, and I end up repeating the same few because of this. I know it's kind of a minor gripe, but am I alone on this?

I'm in the same boat. I find myself changing the 'category' I use to shuffle to avoid that. One day it will be albums then artists on the next. I wouldn't think that a catalog of the current shuffle would be hard to do. Not like it would take up much space on the device itself. I wonder if it is too difficult to do because of the heuristics used to determine the shuffle of the next play.

Yeah it's probably one of those things that seems like it SHOULD be a pretty easy fix, but probably isn't. You've never been able to do it on an ipod either as far as I know, so it must be at least somewhat complicated. It would just be nice in a perfect world...
