I bought an Olypmus Ws-320M and the AAA battery dies out really quickly. When i plug it into the pc it opens (it relies on the electricity from the pc not the batter) so i thought if i plugged the usb device to a usb charger would the digital recorder fry or charge? on the back of the digital recorder it says DC === 1.5V:ANSI AAA. Is there any chance that an ipod usb charger could charge the digital recorder?

No. USB has +5V DC on it, far higher than the 1.5 V DC the recorder wants. The best thing you could do is get a few AAA rechargeable batteries -- NiMH -- and a small recharger. You could keep 1 or 2 batteries in the charger and use 1 in the recorder. When the one in the recorder dies, just swap it with one from the charger. You'll save $100's over the life of the recorder and keep 100's of batteries out of the landfills. All for under $20 at Fry's or another local electronics store.
