iPod question

[gambit]

I don't know if this would be the appropriate forum for this, so I apologize if it isn't. This is open to anyone who has or does currently own an iPod (if you own a 30 GB iPod, all the better). Do you have to reset your iPod multiple times a day? Reseting is when you press and hold the center and menu buttons until the apple icon appears. I find I have to do this multiple times a day after I turn off my iPod, and I find this unsettling. Also it seems like the battery is constantly losing power even when I turn it off; supposedly, there's 14 hours of battery life for playing music only on this thing, and it seems to have about half that in a day.
