Subject: Re: [Puptcrit] A question about how to store MP3 players


Hello Ann;
    This past year we too have changed over to a MP3 player and really have 
had no problem with it. We, like you, have some slow times but I have never 
had to worry about the bateries draining. In fact for the month of September 
it sat with our stage until we started up in October and we had no problems.
    If you are worried, you can just connect it to your computer from time 
and let it charge or (as we have) get a plug in charger and plug it in when 
you are performing.
    I am not sure why you had problems with losing content while performing. 
I would make sure that the file you are working on is complete.
    Also may i recommend getting some audio software for your computer. I 
have found it a great help if I have to tweak our soundtrack and it doesn't 
cost as much as going to a recording studio for last minute edits. Well I 
hope this helps, good luck.
