Hi Brian
Well mine has gone now! I can't charge it any more. I could source one for
£12.95, plus £4 delivery, but then I'd need to have it fitted by someone who
knows what to do, and that would likely cost money too. It's a real pity as
I love my Iriver, and it's in mint condition. But things don't last forever
do they? I may just use it on ordinary batteries and see how greedy it is.
I do have my Ipod now, but I love the idea of the copy and paste facility
without messing around in Itunes, (grrrrrrr).
Kind Regards,
Jackie Cairns

Hi Jackie,
Thanks for the heads up on this one. I have had an Iriver for about the same
length of time, and my battery is starting to go.
Brian.
