| 439845 | 2006-03-27 00:17:00 | just a question Are the people around you so boring that you have to drown out their voices all day? I like music but I don't need it every waking moment 4 hours battery life would be more than enough for me. SORRY I know people use I pods all day but I have come close to killing people crossing roads while listening to Ipods and other gadgets.I just think people should remember the 163738849023756565648448 things you can do to passs the time :D |

| 439846 | 2006-03-27 00:45:00 | I like not having to recharge my mp3 player all the time. My MP3 player takes 2 AAA batteries so I can recharge them even when I'm away from a computer for a decent length of time. I would like to upgrade to a 2gig player sometime though - 512mb of 192k mp3s doesn't really give you enough variety for 1 week without changing the playlist. I'm not too sure how long my batteries last because I've never been listening to it for long enough to flatten them completely in 1 go. I think it is around 12 hours |

| 439847 | 2006-10-22 07:30:00 | yea basically i got the same problem with my ipod nano. but after doing painstaking research i found out that ipod have problems playing mp3 songs and hence eating lot of battery playing them. so i decided to convert my mp3 songs to aac format and the results were quite dramatic, i was actually getting to play my ipod nano to full 14 hours. so.. there you go... i hope it solves your issue as well. Yea, i've recently bought a second-hand 2gb black iPod nano off a friend of mine, he sold it off, due to an upgrade to a 30Gig iPod video. He claims it has no problems whatsoever, and he only had it since october last year, when they first came out. But I'm having some problems with the battery life of the nano, instead of a supposed playing time of 12-14 hours, the battery life of mine lasts just around 6-8 hours. Around half of the expect life. yeah, i just wanna know what the hell would cause a problem like this.. I charge it to full, through my USB, and after around 20-30mins of music playing, the battery bar goes down, after about five more hours of uninterrupted, continuous playback. the iPod shuts down due to low battery. This is rather unexpected from a trusted iPod manufacturer, Apple computer inc. but any information on battery lifes for iPod nano, would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Zhen |

| 439848 | 2006-10-22 07:53:00 | The Shure e3c's are about $360. Not cheap, but man they are good especially with the foam ear tips on. It's like putting foam earplugs in your ears but hearing music cystal clear right in your head. I can get e3c at $300 Ultimate ears 5eb sounds better and e4c sounds alrite |

| 439849 | 2006-10-22 08:16:00 | This is rather unexpected from a trusted iPod manufacturer, Apple computer inc. IPods are only made by apple, no other company makes Ipods, although there are cheap chinese clones around. If it is a year old, then battery life is going to be less than it was when new, as li-ion batteryies have a limited batteryy life. My digital camera battery has a quoted battery charging life of about 60-100 charge cycles. You can buy battery replacement kits, although using one would void your warranty, as apple don't support them. Try sending it back to apple under warranty, under the consumer guarrantees act. Apple do have a very bad reputation for warranty issues, especially in Aussie. |

| 439850 | 2006-10-22 20:25:00 | Try sending it back to apple under warranty, under the consumer guarrantees act. Apple do have a very bad reputation for warranty issues, especially in Aussie. Batteries are almost always excluded from warranties (apart from clearly premature failure in the first few weeks perhaps) because they have a finite life in charge-cycles and a high percentage of that life can be used up well inside the warranty period. Since it is second-hand, there may also be the usual disclaimer that the warranty applies only to the original purchaser and is not transferable. That's allowing that the original purchaser even bothered to register the warranty, or to pass on the documents to you when you bought it. You may have to just suck it in and live with the limited battery life you have left. Never buy an MP3 player for style, buy for functionality, and that included user-replaceable batteries.
