Llorean:
The difference between h300 and iPod:

On H300 you can tap "Stop" to stop blindly. Or you can hold "Stop" to shutdown *without* stopping.

On the iPod we need to stop without waiting for button release, or trying to stop playback without shutting down becomes a timing game in which the user has to guess "have I held it down long enough to stop yet, or am I going to just pause?" Currently a user can just hold down the button and as soon as they hear the audio stop, release it. The audio will be stopped, and there's a good deal of time before the shutdown happens so accidents will be rare.

It can probably be fixed on iPod, but it shouldn't be done in the same manner as H300 - rather the stop should probably still happen but Rockbox should "remember" if the button hasn't been released yet if the user continues on to shut down the player and act as if audio hadn't stopped on the next boot.
