As > I've yet to see an iPod with this longevity! Sounds like you have the latest. There's a setting to turn off the charge circuit. Yours is not turned off, is it? It's been a long time but I seem to recall the player won't start if the batteries are completely flat. Might try a fresh set of rechargeables or charge them and put them back in the unit. I bought Notmad specifically for the feature that 'shuffles' playlists. I could create an 'All Tracks' playlist and shuffle it up to randomize it. Once in a while, shuffle it again so I don't hear the same songs in order... Mine was originally a 6 gig. I put a 20 gig in it and when I bought my NJB3, I put an 80 gig in the NJB3 and put the 40 gig I took out of it in the NJB1. The NJB1 is retired to desk duty now. The NJB3 only gets used on extended trips and recording sessions, and I have a MuVo� for daily listening... No Iplods for this guy!
