My daughter just got an Ipod Nano. I copied some of our CDs to it and the songs and artists made it on fine. Playing songs is fine.

How do you stop it from playing? I can Pause a song but how do I just straight out stop it from playing so it no longer says "Now Playing"?

It doesn't do that, unless you start a video (if you pause that and exit from the video screen), sync it, or reset it.

Pausing is as close to Stop as you'll get. Turning it off is good enough.

Also, you could go to the end of the playlist and press skip, that will remove the now playing.

:facepalm: Why didn't I think of that? My bad, Bilbo, Fisher's got the right idea.

*Grins* That's why I work for the blue shirts.

Wait. It is almost 2009 and the best and newest music players don't have a stop function?

because kids these days never stop listening to music anyways... They're catering to their market!

it's sort of like how the wii setup keyboard, where you have to type in letters, is a phone keypad. That's right, instead of a proper keyboard layout, they decided to go with texting.

Uhm... I don't know if you read the manual, but for text input, you can switch to a full-size keyboard with the button in the bottom corner. In fact, the full keyboard should be the default.

My Zen doesn't have one either. Why would it have a stop button? Pause does the same thing, except it also stores your current position in the song. What good would a seperate stop button be then?

Didn't say a separate stop button. I said a stop FUNCTION. Like hold the pause button down and it stops the track and goes back to the menu screen or whatever.

Again, what use would that be? When would you ever need a function like that?

I'm not saying there's a reason not to have a stop function, I'm just not seeing the need to have one.

Call me anal retentive, but when I want something to stop, I don't want to look at "now playing" or have to skip to the end of a play list. My CD Walkman had a stop. My tape Walkman had stop. Hell, my old Zen has stop.

GET OFF MY LAWN! DANG WHIPPERSNAPPERS!

Seriously Havok, you don't need a stop. I hold down pause on my iPod, and it turns off. That's the only time I'd stop it, otherwise I just pause it.

And usually when I pause it, the cause for the pause tends to take enough time that the thing turns itself off anyway. The reason those things had stops was because they had physical media that needed to stop spinning or turning. Electronic bits don't need to be stopped, they're already in memory as soon as you select the song.

Alright you assholes. Points conceded. I will now ONLY shop for item with no stop function.

Concession accepted.

Go figure, I'm pretty sure this is the first time I've ever got anyone to concede anything to me and it has to be in a non-debate forum like AMP....
