So hey...after writing this previous email, I plugged my iPod into the 
wall and went to sleep. This morning I unplugged it from the wall, and 
thought I'd see how long it would run before dying, so I set it to play 
every song and cranked the volume to full blast.

It's been over 3 hours now, and I still have 3/4 of battery life 
left...so I guess it worked!

Thank you Chris.  : )

Oh, I also just noticed (and this was a complete surprise) I have 666 
songs on my iPod...Maybe that has something to do with it? ; )
