PocketPC mp3 player which can handle 'off' - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

I'm looking for a PocketPC mp3 player which doesn't get upset by the 'off' button. The three I've tried so far (WinamPAQ, gsplayer, Pocketmusic 3) all work very well - but I like to use the 'off' button to quickly kill the music when I need to use my ears.
That works well too, but when I press it again to get the music back there's usually a fraction of a second burst (presumably a buffer or something) and then it all stops, requiring me to get the machine out of its clip to get the music restarted. Pocketmusic will try to keep going but I think that the buffer-filling routing must stop somehow, so the music simply loops for the length of the buffer.

Any ideas of settings in these programs, or other programs, which might solve my problem?
