I'm done with mp3 players...

A swollen battery is very dangerous - something is wrong with the battery, or the charging circuit/protection circuit is broken. Do not use the battery anymore! It might explode...

In any case, I'm only on my second player. My h120 is actually still mostly working, but the hard drive conked out on me. I regularly drop the thing by accident though, so I'm not too surprised. My current gigabeat is pretty good, and I'm much more careful with it. I got it for cheap on ebay, about the same price as a replacement hard disk for the h120 in fact. Except with double the space, and a much nicer screen :)

lol...I took the (kind of swollen) battery out of the H320...only to lay it on my desktop and forget about it (I have a Rio Karma as backup). Almost a month later, it's still on my desktop looking like it will burst any second...air pressure is pretty tight. Where the heck do I get rid of this battery before it explodes??!

soap:
My county does a hazardous waste drop-off once a quarter.  Where my folks live they allow household drop off of hazardous material at the landfill.  Some battery retailers will recycle for you.
Call your local (government - most private ones won't touch it) landfill / solid-waste-authority.  They should know.
