Q: I was told that to turn the iPod off I should hold down the Play/Pause button, and it does seem to go off when I do this. However, when I turn it back on the power has been used up.
Am I turning it off incorrectly?

A: No, you’re doing the right thing. However, the iPod is never really off, unless its battery is dead.
It constantly uses a small amount of power as it awaits your next button press. Depending on how much battery charge remained in your iPod when you Play/Paused it into sleep mode, the battery will eventually deplete itself completely.
