Recommend me a cheap MP3 player that takes AAA batteries

[Fraz]

I like the look of the Sansa Clip MP3 player, and the Creative MuVo, but my problem is that I never manage to get around to charging things, and hence want to just be able to drop in a fresh battery as and when required.

Also, don't want to have to have any special software installed - i'd like it to just behave like a USB drive.

Does any such mp3 player exist?

The only things I can think of are the cheap ones, such as sumvision - http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Elect...roductId=27057

Would a Mains plug to USB adaptor not work?

Sansa Clip doesnt need any software, its drag and drop but there is software to do firmware updates(very simple and optional). It also has great battery life, i have the sumvision and IIRC they last a few hours(due to battery) but my sansa clip lasts days.

The Sony 1Gb (round version) acts like a disk and runs for about 70 hours on a single AAA.

You might find them on eBay as they are quite old now
