Going thru batteries

How I got my zmate mp3 to work. First use a fresh right out of the package alkaline battery (buy a multi pack it eats them like fritos). Next plug in USB cord to computer. Make two subdirectory's in zmate mp3 ("Voice" should have been preinstalled). I called my second one "Audio". Copy MP3 files to audio until full. Right click on audio and select propertys. Turn off "read only" both on the directory and files within. Unhook USB cord from unit. Press and hold middle play button.
Red light flashes, Green light stays lit (this is on). Press and release, Green light flashes once per second (this is play). Press once while green light flashes for pause. Press and hold for off. Right and left button press once for skip, press and hold for fast forward or reverse.
