I don't get it. How do you change the battery then?
You don't unless you know what you're doing. The last portable player I had where I can swap the battery was a 30gb-HDD Creative Zen. Zen MX, iPod Video, Cowon S9, iPT4, that I had later all needed to be opened by a tech. But hey, if Apple can charge and arm and a leg and probably not have a tech in the store to replace the battery on site, all you have to do is send it back to Cowon. The ZenMX is still with me now and the battery's still got 4hours on Grados, 8hrs++ on an efficient IEM, 320kbps MP3.
BTW, these batteries nowadays need years of use with lots of charging cycles before getting anywhere near to unuseable. Plus if you have other players, you're less likely to pile up those cycles on one device.
