Yes, I regularly use the player for a large part of the day, and charge
overnight.

My day includes 2 car journeys of 1 hour each, plus 30 minutes walk
between car and desk each way. On top of that I easily listen to 3 or 4
hours of music during a working day, all on a single overnight charge. I
would say an absolute minimum of 4-5 hours every day, and often a lot
more.

Music is all 128 kbps mp3 files.

No idea which bootloader version I have, but it will date from around
March this year? Whatever was current at that time.

Actually, I just forced a reboot and the bootloader says version 5.
