If I bought one today, I'd spend the extra $10 for a rechargeable unit. The one bad memory I have of these was having to replace the batteries so frequently.

    You can use rechargeable batteries in it... Built in rechargeable batteries suck. The entire lifespan of the device is tied to that battery. Give me something that runs on AAs any day.

    Good point. I should invest in some rechargeable batteries and a unit. I think I even have my old CD player around here somewhere...

    Eneloop is a great brand for them.

    Thanks for the recommendation! My God, they're expensive, but I imagine it's worth it to get some good ones.

    Does anyone make batteries that aren't shitty NiCd or NiMh? Basically Lion rechargeables?

    I've never seen it where I am
