Can anyone confirm this? I want to see if it's a bug or something wrong with my iPod.

I have several hundred notes on my iPod (mostly books chopped into 4k files) sorted into several folders. When I'm listening to music and reading the notes the drive never spins down.

The drive will spin up to load the note, but never spins down. After a few seconds I can hear the drive head park, but if I put the iPod to my ear, I can hear the drive spinning. If I pause the song the drive will then spin down. Every time I load a new note the same thing happens.

Can anyone try this (please) to see if the same thing happens on their iPod.

Thanks
