For battery life, if you watch videos on your MP3 player, you won't be surprised to find that most MP3 players die out after a few movies. Listening to just music without having the MP3 screen open is much easier on the MP3 player and the batteries aren't likely to die out as fast.
Taking care of your MP3 really matters on how long it's going to last. If you're the type of person who throws things around willy nilly, then your MP3 player isn't going to last very long. But if you take care of it, you'll have it for about 3-4 years.
Besides, every 3-4 years, you'll see something new that you're going to want. The MP3 players are going to cost the same, but you'll get a lot more storage, longer battery life, and more features built in. I suggest changing MP3 players every 2-4 years.
It's not that batteries couldn't last longer - it's that companies DONT WANT them to last longer, so people buy their products again ^__^ but yes, what you say is indeed correct.
