ISO mp3 player that does not have rechargeable batter

Just picked this up at Best Buy:

It's got more than 4x the memory that I need and yet I could add more if I had to. Price is so low I won't be upset if/when the rechargeable battery kicks the bucket, and it's the perfect size for gym. And it's red.

Now I need to figure out how to remember to recharge it on a regular basis. I'm hoping once a week will be sufficient.

I don't even know what it is yet but I must have it.

I have an old Sansa C140 1gb MP3 player that someone gave me. It uses 1 AAA battery. I went through all our ripped albums on our computer and picked out a bunch of favorite songs, my playlist, and put them on the C140. I set it on shuffle. It works great!

Look on ebay. You may be able to find a New Old Stock Sansa C140 there. Cheap.

We also have a 4gb Sansa Clip +. It recharges by USB on the computer, but it works great too.

Not sure about other MP3 players, but I know you can get a little battery pack that holds 4 AA or AAA batteries and gives backup power to I-Pods. I'd guess if you can get them for the I-Pod that there must be the same thing for other brands too.

If you can find one of these 2GB

This one is 1GB

This is what I have (except mine is black) - takes one AAA battery- I've had mine about 4 or 5 years, been dropped enough times that the battery cover has to be held on with tape, it's been thru a lot and still works great. Easy controls. Good sound, but could be better with better quality earbuds I guess.

I got mine directly from Creative.com but I checked, and they don't show it anymore. Guess they are out. But you might find it online elsewhere.

Also, a friend found one (brand name I have never heard of) at Best Buy.com. Only two choices of MP3 that took AAA battery. He liked one but not the other. He has used this one for at least a year now, still likes it.

Good luck in your search :-)

The environment will thank you if you learn to recharge stuff.

I've been following this thread with interest....

I actually use rechargeables in everything, but prefer batteries that can be user replaced. Why? Because otherwise, the entire mp3 player heads to the landfill when the battery no longer holds a charge... I don't think that was the OP's plan, but it's a different perspective

No e waste recycling where you are? They finally made ours free. You have to take it to the hazardous waste facility yourself, but they are open Saturday mornings. It's amazing how much stuff we had been keeping in our garage because it wasn't suppose to go into the regular garbage.

Sadly just a few times a year. We're way behind the times on such things....
