Why do they even sell mp3 players in the first place?
John J asked:
Why are they selling mp3 players with built in rechargable batteries (USB port) IF the battery will worn out in the end (meaning you no longer can recharge it and will have to buy another mp3 player)? The only ones that have triple A batteries are the ones that only have 1 GB or less. Usually, if it’s 2 gbs or more, you are stuck with the stupid built in rechargable battery. WDF? What are these clowns thinking?

the whole point is to keep people buying new ones so the company keeps getting money.
mp3 players
Three reasons:
Planned obsolesce.
Rechargeable NIMH AAs and AAAs can’t match custom manufactured lithium ion cells.
Most people like not having to “deal with” a battery.

the mp3 player i have has screws on the back so you can take out the battery, and i’m pretty sure the company sells extra ones too

Man, I wish my iPod ran on disposable batteries.
But seriously, think about it - do you think the average person is going to go through all the hassle of sending their old, out-of-date (thus out-of-style) iPod to Apple and paying for a new battery, or will they simply just buy a new iPod?
=/
I’m not saying it’s great, but that’s how people think. *shrug*
Or, think of it this way - would the oil companies invent a pill to get 500 miles to the gallon? Would the lightbulb-makers (heh) invent a lightbulb that never burned out? So then, would Apple invent an mp3 player that was several GB and ran on double/triple A batteries?
Definitely not. These people want to make $.

I hated that idea, so I found one that has a user replaceable rechargeable battery and it’s great. The batteries are less then $20 as well. It the Sandisk e200 series and I am very happy with it.
