Quick Pause/Unpause of MP3

When listening to MP3s the Pre goes into power saving mode, as it should. The unfortunate part of this is that the Pre does not have an elegant way of pausing and restarting MP3s while in this state. Currently you need to take out the Pre, press the power button, unlock the Pre, then find and press the on screen pause.

I would find it ideal if the "center" button paused and restarted MP3s while the screen is off. I understand that this button could be accidentally pressed by some users, so I assume this would be an activatable feature. I also realize that the Pre hardware and OS may not monitor this button while the screen is off but there are other possibilities. For instance, rapidly turning the Pre on and off could act as a pause button
