Flash memory,bookmarking,user replaceable battery(or AA/AAA)

Apr 23, 2008 2:58AM PDT

Hello everyone, I looked thru the past posts and didn't seem to find a player with all 3 critical features I'm looking for.
Anyone have a suggestion?
I'm looking for a flash based memory MP3 player (no hard drive or mini disc) that supports user replaceable batteries (rechargeable,or preferably AA or AAA), bookmarking. Capability for viewing photos or movies is nice/acceptable,but not required.
From what I've seen this seems to be a holy grail of MP3 player request!
I must be missing something. I read iRiver plans to sell user replacements for their batteries in the future, but nothing on the WEB site yet.
Thank you for any suggestions.

Sandisk M240 M250 or iRiver T10 - Both older models.

It would be worth looking at both Sandisk M240 M250 or iRiver T10. They are older models, but have replaceable batteries and are dependable. I believe they handle audible book capabilities.
They have worked well for me. Good luck, Bob

If you do get one only get ones with AA batterys because the AAA have less battery life and the cover breaks. Also AA have 5 times the battery life.
