It's easy enough to turn off, as it was on mine until this thread emerged.Rangercol, those of us who use or are forced to use Apple and its sub components have a feature on our I Phones that allows us to ask verbal questions. It is a questionable technology at best but allows endless hours of fun for those with less to do with their time.
If you do not have an I phone then I would suggest that you avoid them like the plague. You are missing out on hours of tedious conversation..
Great version of Strange Fruit on that record.
