The battery life is quoted as 10 hours. Is this accurate or is it much less? Do you find that if you don't charge the player for a few days the battery looses a bar or two even though you haven't used it? I ask because this is what happens with players like the zen and Ipod which sleep for 24-48...

The archos Gmini xs200 has been out quite a while now. Can anyone who'se listened to it give some input on sound quality and how it compares to other players such as the Zen Micro?

Am I the only one who's grappling with the zen's touch pad? The vertical scroll bar is fine but the play, menu and back buttons seem considerably less responsive! Sometimes it takes me a good ten seconds just to get from pause to play. Is my unit defective? I'm also getting rather annoyed by...

DON'T talk to me about sleeping with headphones! I used to sleep with my sony MDREX70's and all went fine until I bought a set of wireless Panasonic headphones...then all hell broke loose. I slept with the Panasonics and then I woke up, gasping for breath, to find the EX70's had coiled...

Ah-ha!!! Then Dane, maybe you can answer me one last question... I'm trying to establish a connection between sound quality and power usage to figure out an ideal output specification for a portable unit. The units are amps, and volts for power output which easily convert to mW and...
