CA + Finland = China
I would have gone with Renny Harlin.
Or eating Salmiakki in warm weather… but I suppose your way works, too!
this playser has realy poor battery, mine died after one month and now it even didnt turn on, so this better than bin that player :/
Make these cables half and inch long, duct-tape the battery to the player (cut holes for buttons).
As is, it’s not exactly portable. Unless the wires are used as a bracelet?
Instead of hooking up the battery permanently to the player, I’d have drilled a hole in the player (at the place where the dead battery was) to attach a 3,5mm mono chassis jack and solder it to the battery cables, a mono plug to the Nokia battery and some velcro to attach the battery to the player. Would be much better than having it look like a setup that might cause some fun at the TSA.
Yes… but use a DC socket instead. A mono plug will often short momentarily on the way into the socket, which isn’t so good for the battery. Should it work halfway out the short could last long enough to cause the battery to self destruct in the special way that only Lithium based batteries do
Another 3,5mm jack is too phat to fit into that iPod. That’s why it has a bump for the audio jack. Soldering is not so “permanent”, if you own a soldering iron
Original slogan was “Designed in California, assembled in China, fixed in Finland”, but I guess that would violate Apple’s trademark or something.
Been there, done that.

^^^ generic chinese player. Came with a weak cell that only lasted about two hours, and got progressively worse. In the end I got sick of it cutting out all the time, so I dremeled off the whole bottom part of the casing, cut off the useless tiny speaker and existing LiIon cell, and melt-glued a Samsung phone cell to the now-open back. I haven’t done proper testing, but I’d say it runs for somewhere between 10 and 15 hours before needing a charge, and the end result is really not much bigger than it used to be. The white stuff is styrofoam, which I use in empty spaces to prevent dust entering the player.
For the same concept turned up to eleven (a week of nonstop runtime!), see here: http://www.technfun.com/iaudio.shtml
