How long does the battery last? Also, can I play iTunes songs on it?

A good brand regular battery seems to last several hours. Am pretty sure you can add music to it from iTunes. I'm very pleased with mine and have gotten hours of pleasure from it and found it simple to use even though I am up there in age (almost 70).

One good triple A battery like Duracell can last quite a while. Not sure about iTunes; haven't used one but it's possible. You'll get great use of this device. I know I have.

The battery last a long time, like 3-4 weeks. Can you play iTunes on it,I would think so, any music you can download on your computer you should be able to download on this player.

I use it on the bus to work, my commute is short about 45 min.; the battery last for about 4 days. After using the on, off, volume up/down etc. for a period of time, the printed data dissolve.

I'll try that recommendation. I usually get about 4-6 hours of playing time (afterall my iPod IS 6+ months old), but that's with tinkering around with settings, pictures, playlists, AND having the backlight on "10 seconds". I'm switching it lower and I'll see what I get.But, the older the iPod gets, the lower battery life it'll get, everyone should know that. It's a lithium-ion battery that has about 500 charges in it, and with each charge it lessens the battery life, it's inevitable, but worth it.

From my experience (and the Creative discussion boards) the battery may only last about a year or just over. It seems as soon as they go out of warranty the batteries stop holding a charge and the device won't even turn on when connected to a computer. However, the other posters here are right, I have found replacement batteries on e**y, but there are no screws on the back cover to replace it. I'm assuming you have to pop the case apart and be careful not to break it! Creative's answer is to recycle/dispose of the mp3 player and buy another. iPods may be more expensive, but at least Apple will allow you to send yours in for a battery replacement so you don't have to worry about breaking it yourself!

Thank you for your advice. That's something they don't list in the instructions. I went and got one and love it. I suppose I still have to keep it in "manual" and not in "auto sync" ? Or does it matter as long as I keep it in the iTunes playlist?

I keep it plugged in, so not sure about the battery life. The speaker phone sound is NOT GOOD, but I don't use it for that. Just for streaming music to powered speakers (which it works GREAT for). You could probably read the product details for the warranty info (if any).

I used mine to mainly listen to music as I commuted to work. So I had to charge it every day. My commute round trip is about 5 hours. So I got about 6 hours of playing time.

Like the other answer said it is pretty weird when it comes to iTunes..But yes it will hook up :)and the screen is probably 2" maybe a little smaller...it is a very good sized screen. But I dont know if I would recommend it for working out...the buttons are REALLY sensitive...and if you turn it off, even just pushing a button will turn it back on...even if it is on lock...so if you turn it off you may accidentally turn it back on while you are running or whatever..and drain the battery. I have done that many times..which is why I switched to a different MP3

On a full charge, and, for me, I had it on the third setting (Blue) on constantly, onto my iPod, it last around 6 hours! So, if you want to run it for a long time. Quick charge during lunch breaks, coffee breaks, and so on.

I use mine to play itunes from my computer and my ipod (which is a really old 2gig nano but still going strong, just getting full). My son bluetooths it with his Iphone5. You can't transfer music to it or charge electonics from it as it is a speaker only. Can play audio via bluetooth or the 3mm speaker plug. If the device can connect via either of these methods, you're good to go. Runs for 7 hours on a single charge.

Hi One thing about these I-Pod players is they don't a have long life. Mine only lasted a 1 1/2 Years and It quit on the I-pod dock the radio still worked and I never tried the Aux Cable. I went and spent a little moremoney on the next one. I bought the Sony and it has held up for almost 3 years. But the reviews about the Sony said the same not a very long life. Just waiting on this one to go out. I know this isn't much help, just my problems with the same player you have.

I am generally using for listening to music while working, and I am pretty satisfied with battery life. Continuous use various between 3-5 hours, but the you can always plug it in and continue using it.

Hi Linda B.The SanDisk Sansa Clip MP3 player is just awesome. I bought another one just in case I lost the one I use every single day. The battery life runs 4 -5 hours non-stop. The player is excellent for audio books. The player can be used as a voice recorder, plays music,and has an FM radio. I purchased a set of Bose earbuds to complement the player and Wow, the music is like attending an outdoor concert. You will not be disappointed with this purchase.

Are you asking if it reads mp3 songs? Yes, it does. My songs on the ipod are in mp3 format, you can even watch a movie on netflix on your ipod/iphone and use it as a speaker. On the back it has a link to connect other types of mp3 players but unlike the ipod/iphone it won't be able to charge them.

The music plays until you turn it off yourself or until the battery runs out, whichever comes first , and it does the whole time the music plays. I fair warning, the music is kind of loud, and the songs it plays are a little bit obscure mixed with a well known lullabies. It also plays about 8 seconds of each song, and I haven't counted how many songs plays, but over 12.

It does not charge the iPod/iPhone while playing. It holds a charge for up to five hours and can be played anywhere.

It has a power cord that you use to charge it and I believe if you use it while plugged in, it doesn't uses the battery. You can us it with an iPhone ( or any MP3 player/smart phone) but I highly recommend purchasing a cable with a 1/4 inch jack on one end and an 1/8 inch on the other to run music through the "aux in" instead of the designated iPhone slot. When you use the iPhone slot you receive a lot of static with the music but you get none if you use the "aux in" imput.
