Why are you staring at the screen for several minutes on end? There’s really no need–simply select your music and listen. Situation solved.
Alternately/additionally: under the System settings, set the display to go off after a limited number of seconds, such as 10 or 15. Or, purchase a Clip+ instead–less of a screen to “bother” you. Or lastly, buy an iPod Shuffle–no screen.
Most likely, SanDisk will not offer a screenless player, if that’s what you want–there’s no need for it.
