Nomad, HELP!

Last Saturday i forced myself to spend some of my hard-earned sponduliks on an unnecessary "luxury item". I bought myself a new MP3 player (there's nothing wrong with the old one apart from a lack of capacity). I took this new thingy, treated it with the utmost consideration, supplied it with a brand new alkaline battery, fed it good meal of MP3 and WMA files and gave a nice warm [pocket to live in.
On Tuesday, it died of a catastrophic system failure (actually it fell apart in my pocket). I went back to place I bought it and got a replacement. I gave it the same treatment as I did it's predecessor - it's own virgin battery, a nice mixture of files and a warm place to live.
Today, I was out for a little walk on one of our local hills, with the new thingy in my pocket. I suddenly felt a burning sensation in the pocket containing the thingy. There was also funny smell - no, NOT my feets - I may have fed it the wrong type of battery.
On the other hand, this could be a devious plot to force me to buy an IPod.
What should I do?
