That seems a little odd, I have 1.95GB Songs and they total almost 34 hours of playback. Do all MP3 players have a battery life similar to that, or is it just the iPod? If I were to look into buying one (Its on the 'To-Do' list when I get a job), I'd like at least 30 hours playback :-)	Chilling_Silently (228)

That could be something which might not like being thrown. As for 30hrs. When do you find yourself needing that much playback time. I forget the last time I was away from a lightersocker/powerpoint for 30hrs.	-=JM=- (16)

If you stick in 1 single energiser battery you should get around 56 hours! and minidiscs don't skip and take the knocks better than hard disk drive based players	roofus (483)
139555	2003-04-28 07:42:00	I agree with Roofus. MDplayers are the way to go. Far more versatile	Baldy (26)
139556	2003-04-28 08:02:00	yeah, md players are cool - cheaper too. i have a sony MD player(mz-r910). the rechargeable battery takes 6 hours to charge but lasts up to 30 hours. (although when recording this time is significantly reduced) you can also clip an AA battery on to it.	nadius (3249)
