So LiIon battery cells are a lot higher in voltage than other standard AA types. This MP3 player takes two AA NiMH batteries. Wonder if it's possible for one LiIon 3.6v with a dummy to last as long or longer. >One of the major US battery companys sells "lithium" batteries, which are >touted as better at low temperatures than alkalines.

Optionally, a snap-on adapter allows use of AA batts. >Pretty slick. It's be nice to get two NiIon AAs in this MP3 player. Wonder if a small circuit could be made to drop the voltage and regulate it. Even if that could be done, this NEX II is so small (hey... what else would a Libretto nut want?), than I don't know if there's any left over room in there to put anything more.
