Default Praise for the Lock Button


I dont know if you guys experience the same thing i do but i will turn my zune on and search through all of my music for about 5 minutes before choosing something to listen to. This pisses me off and wastes some time. I can never choose what to listen to and when i do i usually skip songs halfway through it. This is why the lock button is necessary for me. If i lock it and set the zune away from me i can make it through my anxiety of choosing songs. Anyone else go through what i do ?

I prefer the Locke button.
I usually just pick an artist or an album and let it go, but I rarely use the hold switch; I prefer to have control.

Even with my relatively large collection of songs I'm very picky about what makes it onto the Zune. The only songs on there are ones I want to listen to. Nothing annoys me more than having to constantly skip to the next song. But when you have 6200+ songs you get some nice variety so the stuff almost always sounds fresh.

The lock switch is great for me because I listen to my Zune in the car and the rest of the time it lives in my pocket. It's nice to know it won't accidentally get turned on and run down the battery.

This is a simple case of being a Shuffle-Whore. can't listen to a song all they way through let alone an album. Lock=win for shufflewhores

The Lock button's like the friend who's forcing me to fully enjoy music that I would probably just skip.

The Lock button the Great equalizer.

I only lock mine when it's possible for it to be accidentally turned on when I don't want it to be.

I lock mine when either A.) I'm done using it or B.) I put it in my pocket.
other wise I leave it be.

I always use the lock, even if I'm holding it. It's weird I know but It's a habit I have. My 30 on the other hand I don't use the lock because the buttons are harder to push and they dip in. But even then find my self using the hold button.
