ok, if you have the battery, facing you with the little dioads to the right
then slant the batteryslightly and press down gently but firmly and it will
go into place with out a hitch.

Is there only one way to put in the battery? It went in fine, and closed
fine, and I didn't need to force it, but the directions didn't really make
as much sense as I would have thought. Just want to make sure it does not go
in easily two directions.

Hi Sharon,
Um .... Kind of ...
44.1 kHz is the sampling rate. It means that when the sound is
converted into digital form, they sample it 44.1 thousand times per
second. This is the rate that's used for CD, so the quality is
pretty good, though higher rates can be used.
If you choose 22 kHZ instead on the Pocket, then the highest
frequency that will be kept from the original audio, even in a .WAV
file, is 11.5 khz, so the quality is noticeably lower than 44.1.
The numbers for MP3 compression refer to the quantity of information
being processed, so the higher the better. 256 KBPS is pretty high
quality but as someone pointed out the very highest in common use is
320. 256 should be good enough for most applications though.
Hope that helps.
Best,
Peter
