Block a song from shuffle play?

Is there a way to block a song (File) from playing? My voice lessons (mp3's) are on my iPod Touch so I can practice my scales during my long drives into work. I dont want these files coming up at a party/gathering when I set my iPod to shuffle!

In iTunes, select the file, right-click, select "Get Info" from the pop-up menu. On the Options Tab, check "Skip when Shuffling". Re-sync/copy to your touch.

You can also create a new playlist for the tracks you wish to shuffle and exclude your voice lesson tracks from that playlist.
