anybody else go through this?

If I'm listening to a classical music cd (or certainly an audiobook) in the car, and I stop the car in the middle of it because I reach my destination, I'll just leave it going where it left off when I'm back restarting the car after my errand.

However, if I'm listening to pop/rock music (either cd or mp3), I'm likely to want to skip any unfinished song as soon as I restart the car.

I'm guessing it has to do with associating pop/rock music with listening to the radio.  With radio, you don't expect the song to still be playing when you get back (and you're likely to have sung the earworm out of your head during that time anyways).  But I'm just wondering if I'm the only one.

Update: Ok, its just me and I'm weird.

well, its not really audiobooks that i listen to on occasion, but british radio shows (specifically h2g2 and dr who shows from big finish). i just used the term 'cause nobody bothers to listen to "audio drama" in america except us weirdos.
