I really had to work at the bottom ones; they seemed like they were glued in there. And I must have inadvertently turned the unit on 4-5 times trying to get the ones on the left side out and hitting the on button accidentally.... Maybe I'll get faster with practice??? I am assuming that if the battery indicator is getting low I can change them during a break even if it hasn't stopped playing because they're all the way dead? And then when I get home, I can recharge them in an external charger that discharges first so they're all the way dead before being recharged? Is it true that higher bitrate files take more battery power? This audiobook was only 32 bitrate, so if I listen to one that is 96 bitrate the batteries will last 1/3 the amount of time? I hope that isn't the case; hopefully it's not a direct math calculation like that? Thanks for ALL the help on this list! Sharon >1.
