choices, what 2 do

Hi, 1st post although I've been lurking for a while. Lot's of good info here.

My questions:

WWUB, 30xl or 60x, both are the same price?

Battery life vs 1/2 the capacity?

Realistically if the 60g can go 10hrs how often do you listen for 10hrs non-stop?

I believe that I read both can be played while plugged in?

Will they charge & play at the same time either off AC or a car connection?

Thanks

I got the 60g...
I never used up the whole battery in one go...
the only situation I could imagine using the x5 for such a long time is when I fly across the pond... then I would just plug in my custom made battery pack and would have no problems...

I also sometimes plug the battery pack in when I toss the x5 into my bag during classes, a movie or whatever... this gives me enough juice to go back home or whatever...

and yes, u can listen to music while charging...

you just gotta decide how much you'll listen to it and where. for me i'm glad i got the L-version. i don't always have to remember to charge it and if the battery degrades over time then it doesn't affect me much. plus the long flights, drives, etc. i don't really need 60GB either. 30GB is good, 40 would be perfect. so if you need the 60, then i'm sure you can make it work.
