Why doesn’t the iPod Devices have a stop (■) button?
Because it is redundant. There is nothing you can accomplish with a stop button that can’t already be done using the pause, menu, next track, and/or previous track buttons.

With a DVD, there’s little mechanical difference between pause and stop unless you keep it paused for more than a few minutes, after which a stopped DVD motor will spin down but a paused one will continue to run [1].
