mp3 player battery status?

My mp3 player, a 2GB Sansa Express, automounts as a filesystem when I connect it to my computer, but I can't find any way to check the battery charge. Can anyone offer some advice on how to access it?

Re: mp3 player battery status?

If I remember right, I tried something like this with libusb once (or doing stuff I suddenly kept finding after adding "libusb" to my array of search terms - had a hard time finding anything useful before)... and /proc/usb/something stuff... also awk and huge amounts of data rolling around in my tty... looking for a value somewhere that steadily went into the same direction and in the opposite after reloading the battery.  Had to give up though after a couple of days due to general lack of knowledge on my side and getting too confused with all the new info to continue. Don't really know how that stuff works - but maybe this small hint helps you figure out how to find someone who does.

Good luck!
