How do I turn Voiceover off Permanently?

I have two new nanos. Battery life aside, I have never activated voiceover on either of them but it keeps coming on. I can go three or four songs without it and than it will start again. This is a most annoying feature and I cannot figure out how to keep it inactive when working out. Help!

Lenovo, Windows XP

Thanks for raising this issue. I am having the same problem and gave tried everything. I have always founderstand Apple to be HORRIBLE for tech support.


I have no idea why this feature even exists! I do understand that there are some people with disabilities that can benefit. However, Apple should allow the rest of us to delete or PERMANENTLY DISABLE thus feature. This can be done through any of the updates they send that only make their products, like iTunes, harder to use.
