^^ AA Batteries in consumer electronics are dead, man. Just get a powerbank/usb battery I'm looking for something that can do 24-40 hrs playback time between charges and live on a boat near saltwater basically it's whole life. Going offshore periodically for 8-16 hours at a time, and want a separate device with a display so guests can pick and choose their own songs/playlist. I use my phone for tidal info, nav charts etc etc and don't need it getting dropped by guests down below Top three options I've seen so far: 1. San Disk "clip" or clip variant 2. iPod Nano 7th gen 3. Use a random android device All good options, San Disk and Kindle Fire tablet are both about $40 these days. iPod has the best waterproofing probably, as well as 30 hour battery life. Big downside for iPod Nano is that you're sort of stuck using iTunes (ugh) or some $$$ goofy rear end workaround app. Not worth it. Especially for $150. I already have a Kindle Fire tablet from some black friday sale. It has a micro SD card. With a big fat tablet battery I'm guessing it will exceed 20 hours playback time. Also has bluetooth audio capability. You also get drag and drop MP3 filesystem. Is there a best MP3 player out there for android? Looking for ease of use to search for songs, build short (10-15 songs?) playlists on the go, low battery consumption.

Zeta Taskforce posted:My old iPod classic is dying. Sound only comes out of one headphone and syncing it to my PC is a nightmare where I need to hit the start and center button 2 or 3 times for the computer to read it. For the audio, you can get the headphone jack replaced for reasonably cheap, most guys would probably give you a reduced fare just to have a crack at it Not sure about the center button but that's replaceable too. While you have it open probably time for a battery swap/upgrade.
