Well, judging from the fact I've had three players in the last two
years, I seem to just buy a new player when the battery starts to go :)

I *have* replaced a battery in an iRiver and I could probably do so in
an iPod, but it's not one of my fondest things to do and although the
people here can quite easily do it, it isn't something ordinary users
can be expected to attempt.

There isn't a power button on an iPod? I didn't run with the standard
firmware long enough to remember but Rockbox allows you to turn it off.
