There's also a button labelled "power" or a visual symbolic equivalent. If the device had two buttons and said "press these simultaneously for power" on the hardware, I imagine we'd quite seriously consider using both of them. That's not the case.

But it's not the case for the lock combo neither (there's no button labelled "lock" on the Clip+).

Anyway, it seems to me you are over-concerned with accidental unlock (which are rare anyway IMO, with a single button or with two buttons), especially compared to the fact that once you switch the player off and you slam it in your bag, a single button is needed to switch it on.

No big deal anyway, the day I get really annoyed I can always try to patch it my own  way.
Unless anybody is willing to make this a configurable thing (would make sense to me given there seems to be people for and people against each approach).

Concerning the other issue (cannot lock in recording and FM screen), is it a known one ? Worth opening a bug ?
