Portable players with replacable batteries and SD card slot? Options

[tom886]

Hello,

I am looking for a new player which has replaceable batteries preferably AA or AAA and an sd slot. I currently have the Treckstor Ibeat extension which can use 8gb sd cards. Problem is that some of the buttons are becoming hard to use and the player dont sound to good with my new head phones philips she9850 (some buzzing and noise on changing tracks)

Anyone know of any such players? I have not been able to find any but have been considering getting a cheap mobile phone with mp3 playback but have no idea what they would sound like.

Thanks
Tom

I think you would do well with an embedded battery....today's lithium ion batteries are light years beyond nimh or nicad. I bought my zunehd used two years ago, use it daily, the battery still plays 24 hours between charges. The battery in todays devices will outlast your desire to keep said device...you'll be wanting a 'new toy' before it quits.

It's always the headphone socket that goes wrong here, long before I notice any battery problems. Though that may say more about me, or the lousy headphone sockets, than the quality of the batteries!
