Lattesurf,

When I originally purchased the player I got four hours playtime even though the seller advertises 5hrs. I bought it at the end of last year. I haven't use it that much.

Now I can't listen to any music, when I try to access my music files, I get the egg timer and the player shuts down. I looked at some photos last night and the radio was playing, the battery level on the player was very small, the same before charging.

Over time, the battery has lost its charge and it didn't take long for that to happen. Also when I was able to charge it I could only get half hour of music playing time and the player would get very warm when I was listening to the music.

I will check what the battery is, last time I took the cover off the on off switch fell out, and it was really difficult to get it to hold in place while I put the back cover on.

I wont worry about the charger, your right the one that came with the unit, is very loose and I thought it looked a bit dodgy. The headphones sound ok, but the lead isn't long enough so you cant put the unit in your pocket etc.

Thanks for you help.
