i've had it with my iaudio m3. the battery now only lasts for about one or two albums!! What? what a huge ripoff. i'm done with it.

can someone provide a list of dap's that run on aa or similar removable and replaceable batteries? old or new, i don't care.

creative muvo mix/nx/tx/tx fm/micro n200
creative zen nano plus
samsung yepp
sandisk
iriver

these run on AAA batteries

the muvo is pretty good sounding and battery life on one AAA is good, haven't used the others

The iAudio G3 and G2 run on AA batteries. They're supposed to have excellent battery consumption "mileage," and they'll have excellent sound. (Don't let your experience with the hard-drive Cowon player scare you off of their flash players.)

Check for iRivers that run on AA's, as well.

i should have noted a true line out is needed, via cable or dock, i don't care. thanks.

so it seems it is mostly flash players that run on aaa batteries. i need something 20+ gigs. sorry, i was pissed and didn't supply details.

The iPod with the Belkin power pack can run on AA batteries. First-Gen Nomads worked off rechargeable AA's, as did Archos.

There's a seller on Ebay with M3 AAx4 packs for just under 10 bucks. Gonna be bulky though.

i would prefer a replaceable solution. i emailed the chap selling the external pack if he makes a right-angle version. i just don't have space in my lowepro bag for a straight connecter.

i have tried in the past to make a battery pack for my d777 sony pcdp. i got the plugs and wiring correct, but the mAmp and voltage were off. can someone give me insite on how to convert 2 aa cells to a specific amp and voltage?

How about an Archos Jukebox Recorder 20GB player. It works on 4AA rechargeable batteries. It weighs in at just under 1lb and has digital and analog line in.

I have an Archos 6000, has 6 gigs of music, uses 4 AA's, BUT..the thing constantly freezes. Its frustrating. Even with the newest Rockbox its still friggin freezes. I have to reboot it in order to play. Even then, it freezes again.

I don't trust Archos or ANY of its products because of this crap.

I dunno, but I've seen replacement batteries on ebay so it should be easy to repace the battery when it goes whack on you.
