1. battery life has little, if anything, to do with the type of CD being played. the difference is negligible
I don't think that is true.
Here is an example.

Battery
Battery 2 x battery - AA type
Battery Life Details MP3 play - 95 hour(s)
CD play - 55 hour(s)

I think playing normal cd's uses the battery up quicker as the disc is constantly spinning, but when playing mp3 discs the disc is still for alot of the time.
