ipod won't shut off

I press and hold the play button and my ipod won't shut off. The hold switch is definitely not on. I haven't tried to "reset" it yet. Does this erase all songs/data/info? Will this help my problem?

I've had this problem for ages. Appears to happen on most models of Ipods as well so I'm assuming its a design fault that Apple can't be arsed to fix.

Anyhow, the only solution I've found is to have music playing. Remove the headphones from the jack, plug them back in (the music is paused at this point) and then you can regain control over the ipod and switch it off.
