One could argue that if the player is in your pocket, buttons facing
the front of my pants so I can just press through the cloth and get
the button, that this would require either the effort of reaching into
the pocket and maneuvering to the hold switch, or just removing the
player entirely to turn on hold. I'm relatively satisfied with leaving
hold turned off and stopping as I rarely if ever have anything in my
left pocket that could bump the buttons.

Noted. I've got mine set to 30 minutes. I notice there is nothing
longer than an hour though.

I for one wouldn't mind seeing such a mode.
