AA battery powered mp3 player?

One of the problems with the Consumer Tech markets is the “me too” syndrome. I LOVED my AA Battery Samsung MT6[a-z]. I LOVE my current AAA Battery IRiver T60. My daughters and I LOVED our AAA E players. But…

When I go searching, all I see is these @#$@^& internal battery players.  If I was Rayovac, Duracell, or Everready, I’d commit to cajoling the various digital music player manufacturers to use “modular power systems”, that is, commodity, rechargeable, replaceable batteries.

Sansa should commit to ALWAYS have a micro SD slot on their players. If they made a player that:

  1. Allowed music selection by directory structure.

  2. Had a micro SD Slot.

  3. Used a AA battery.

I’d buy it immediately.
