Hopefully this separate thread will eliminate hijacking another. Many RV'ers including myself use laptops instead of desktop units. But the 17" laptops seem to gobble laptop battery power at an ast...

You can't even drive decent speakers with low amperage - never mind the quality of the analog music storage (I can't believe I mentioned analog) or the lack of compression (ever heard of no compression) digital music storage going to the speakers.
Regarding low amp speakers, I agree with West that this can be done when you want mere few feet field.
As to the analog music storage - perhaps I'm missing something here. With very rare exceptions, nobody stores analog music today. Hardware players like Ipod, Smartphone, WD, laptop etc include Digital-Analog converter. Music is stored digitally, converted to analog, and analog signal goes (through amplifier) to speakers. The biggest losses and interference, in this case, are in the wires before the amplifier, especially when you're running signal to an amplifier via 3.5mm cable.
Ideally, senor Mex should get a newer player.
And, Mex - I'm behind the times with this technology but me thinks that there are some very good wireless earphones. Not "earbuds". Being "umbilicated" with earbuds is not fun, unless you have to move around with them, like an Ipod in workplace, for example ;)
