I realize that there are a lot of variables to take into account, but, off-hand, it seems that iPod-listeners would be using and discarding fewer batteries than Walkman/CD-listeners did. I think the lead in iPods is primarily in the solder on the circuit board... probably about 5% of the amount of solder in your average Sony Walkman... if that.

My husband and son have been buying them at yard sales for 50 cents or a dollar these past few years.
