Digital Audio Player Reduce the Backlight for Enhanced Battery Life SUMMARY: Shining your audio player's backlight can waste your batteries.   Want to get more battery life out of your digital audio / portable MP3 player? Consider reducing the length the backlight comes on, or turn off the backlight completely if you are not planning on using the player in the dark. The backlight can suck up a lot of battery power, and if you can read the music titles in low-light situations, save some of that power to help increase its music playing time.   Add: Del.icio.us | Digg | Furl | My Yahoo!   Discuss This Tip Print This Tip Get E-Mail When New Tips are Online Return to the Digital Audio Player page.
