If the voltage of an AC adapter matches the requirement of the unit (say, 9V) and the amperage exceeds it (assume the unit needs 600 mA or 800 mA and the transformer can offer more, up to 1500 mA, is that a problem? The adapter is also charging a battery in the portable player -- wil the higher amperage cause any problems?
I ask because Radio Shack offers a line of AC adapters at various voltages that are much, much smaller, with folding AC plugs, and slightly more expensive than the "normal" ones ($15 vs. $23), but all of the small ones have these high maximum amperage ratings.
