No - the PowerJolt charger is a separate thing.

Do you have your iPod on shuffle? That drains the battery more quickly than listening to a playlist does.

ETA: I've taken my iTrip on some pretty long road trips and it usually lasts about 4.5 - 5 hours, depending on how I'm listening to it.

I have a $10.00 cassette adapter and it works WONDERFULLY. No complaints. I bought an ITrip but it didn't fit onto my IPod (it's the new video one) so I returned it. Afterward, I had lots of people tell me that the ITrips don't work well around here anyway because we have SO many radio stations.

Thanks to everyone who posted--glad to know it's not just me!

I have noticed that the iTrip definitely seems to use up my battery pretty fast, but again, I thought it was just me.

To be quite honest, I'm not very impressed with the iTrip thing. There are no suitable radio stations around here to use it with (I know, 'cause I've been playing around with it some more). My boyfriend got it for me because one of his friends has one and apparently likes it pretty well, but I don't know...guess that guy's just lucky, 'cause mine just doesn't work all that well. Guess it's back to lugging around my big case full of CDs whenever I go anywhere in the car...

I think it really depends where you live. Here in Los Angeles, it's near impossible to find a good station (my boyfriend has an itrip and never uses it for driving around the city). But for drives between here and northern california, it's a lifesaver. He has a car charger, so we just use that when it's in the car.

hey Lexington Girls...

I used 89.5 & I get a pretty strong signal without much static..I cover up any static by turning the volume on the iPod to about 75% or a little less & turn the volume on the car speakers up...it's not perfect..but it's close.

Thanks! Now I'm going to have to dig up both my iPod and iTrip... I have a terrible habit of losing things that I don't use often

i couldn't imagine letting my iPod out of my sight...it's my child.
