sup.. well.. i had a big problem while modding.
i listen to music while modding, so no music = no modding..
usually the battery can power the player for bout 4 hours... not that much..
so i made an improvement.. MONSTER PACK :D
first of.. solder a wire to a angle piece of scrap metal

tape a battery to the mp3 player (or make a holder thingy out of styrofoam)

cool if your mp3 takes AAA's :P

definately a good idea, maybe a nice plexi cover would complete it :D

there are no stupid questions dude. realy the stupid thing to do is to NOT ask questions.

i am assuming if his mp3 player took 1 battery before and lasted 4 hours now he has 2 hooked up im going to guess that its lasting 8 hours.

erm.. there is only the fat battery hocked up.. the one inside is just to press the angles against the connector feather thingis ;)
gonna try out how long it takes to empty those on saturday :)

see it wasnt a dumb question cause i was wrong on my estimation anyways. im curious on how long it does take. so its a d cell or a c cell.

Hmm. Ought to try this with my SanDisk... if it gets 12 hours on one AAA, I wonder what it can do with a D-cell... :D
