As many of you may be aware, recently, I took a trip to Louisville, KY.
For me, this is 699.8 miles one way, it took eleven hours, all in one piece, stopping only for gas, bathroom, and drinks - usually all three in the same stop.
On the way down, I used my Zune, plugged into the car's AC Outlet (my GPS was occupying the cigarette lighter) and piped the music thru my car speakers via the cassette deck. (Yes, my car has cassette and CD - to be honest, I never use the CD, would just as soon have cassette only, or even just a port to plug in something like Zune.)
Anyway, I did this, because I was worried the battery might not last long enough to do it with my Pandora.
On my way home, though, I threw caution to the wind. I started out from Louisville, KY - using the Pandora at 86% charge.
I made better time on the way home, getting home in 10 1/2 hours.
During the trip, even when I stopped, I left the music player playing on the Pandora. so it was running consistently for the entire 10 1/2 hours of the trip.
I got home, and the bastard was still at 46% charge!! I used only 40% of battery power on a 10 1/2 hour trip, consistently playing music!
