Yesterday,while browsing at Best Buy before work,I did comparisons on various MP3 players.As I was getting informed advice by product specialists,I was then appalled to find out that the 5 GB Lyra RD 2765 that I'd been using had very shoddy battery life for products in its class with the same capacity(a mere 8-9 hours on a single charge and not even mentioned on the external packaging).Additionally,most MP3 players with smaller(2 or 4 GB) and larger (6+ GB) capacities have better battery life.I then ended up buying myself a 6 GB Rio Carbon(more than double the max battery life according to the package)that was on clearance only because the makers were pulling out of the business;as they said it was a very reliable brand.Good thing I still have the receipt for the RD 2765 I bought at Target 2 months ago;because I still have a month to return it if I had that option,and I could do it as soon as tomorrow(also before work)...
All from Buy It Now eBay listings,I've bought a few more packs of Pretty Sammy and Card Captor Sakura trading cards as well as classic Puyo Pop for the GBA...
