[CAUT] using as ETD

[Jim Busby]

David,

Tunelab doesn't seem to put a great drain on my IPod. Shouldn't be too much on an Iphone either. I was surprised that I messed with it almost 8 hours one day and still had almost half battery life left.

Regards,
Jim

I'm concerned about battery drain on my iphone.   By the end of a long day, I have 40 to 50% left, but TuneLab would probably mean I'd have to charge it during the day in the car...?
