… In regards to an AUX cable killing the battery of a player, I find this hard to believe, being that I believe (not sure) most if not all headphone jacks act merely as a medium for audio and do not hold any connection to a power source. Think of your car as 4-headphone speakers if you will.


A ‘medium for audio’? :smiley: I hope you’re not suggesting that sound waves are passing through this cable!  It’s an electrical current, driven by the battery in the Clip+.  I’m certainly no expert, but I do know that if the impedences between the source and the destination are not properly balanced (or rather, properly ‘imbalanced’), the source can be loaded down.  I’m guessing that’s what’s happening in my case.  Hopefully someone more ‘electrically grounded’ than I can give a better explanation.

if available, try using one of those portable amp… i don’t know if this will work but it might help
