Which iPod (and which generation) do you have?

There is a play counter in iTunes which will tell you how many times each track has been played. Or at least there was on the previous version, haven't looked on the newest one.

it is about 4 =5 year old 160GB but I have never noticed a play count on it unlike itunes on the comp ?

No, there's no play count on the device itself, only on iTunes. We've got about 9 or 10 different iPods, of various generations and never noticed anything like what you're describing.

Looking at the play count in iTunes when you have it connected will confirm your suspicions, in the meantime, have a look at this article, and see if it helps:
On my iPod, can I shuffle in catgories, like Album, Genre, or a playlist? Or can only shuffle ALL the son

I can't remember where I saw it, either on one of my iPods or in iTunes... But there is a setting you can adjust to play songs more randomly or stick more to the songs it has already played. It had a sliding bar and you could adjust to what you wanted. I know it's bad English but couldn't think of the exact wording.

Are you sure there is only the one copy of each song on the iPod ?

With my collection there can be multiple versions of the one song, off different albums, compilations, best of, etc.
