mkny13:
Yes, but is it necessarily a choice between one or the other?  Replacing the battery means sending it back to the manufacturer, I assume, which needs to be factored into the cost.  Getting a warranty with a new or refurbed player also has value.

Llorean:
Replacing the battery means "opening it and putting in a new battery." New batteries are fairly cheap.

mkny13:
The Toshiba's have a user replaceable battery? That's nice.

Llorean:
The iPods Rockbox supports also have user replaceable batteries. It may not be *easily* user replaceable, but it doesn't require anything in the way of particularly specialized knowledge or anything.

The fact that the back doesn't simply slide off doesn't mean "it can't be replaced except at the factory."

froggyman:
And if you go to YouTube and just search for "My player Battery replacement" and several videos will most likely pop showing exactly what you have to do.
