Digital Audio Player

Always Turn Off When Not In Use

SUMMARY: Save your digital audio player batteries.

This tip is just common sense, but as the maxim goes, "common sense is not so common".

Digital audio / portable MP3 players use up a lot of battery juice. Even though they don't use up as much energy when not playing a song as to when they do, you should always turn off your player when not in use. You'll put less wear and tear on your player, keep your battery power for when you need it, and you'll be able to recharge your batteries less.
