That would be about 30,000 songs. RIAA would like to talk to you. At $150,000 per song that would be 4.5 billion dollars they want. Maybe also the FBI wants to talk to you. After all you have cost the economy about 100,000 jobs, of mostly the poor artists and record company investors that RIAA defends with all their heart. Oh my God! You are a terrorist!

Who in their right mind would KNOWINGLY put malicious software on their system? An idiot is who would do such a thing. As for DRM, somebody should come up with a program which can strip out DRM code from all known formats the instant a DRM-infected file shows up on the computer. If we have antivirus and antispyware programs, why don't we have anti-DRM programs as well? DRM is just as much a virus as anything that Norton Antivirus would detect. It is also spyware. I don't want any of my personal information going to any big business. Someone needs to include scanning and removal routines for DRM into antivirus and anti-spyware software. Well, either that, or write a standalone program that does the job. Quote: I will not under any circumstances download or play DRM infected music files on my computer or portable.

Of course people are going to want to keep some free space on whatever player they're using. When it comes to computer hard drives, unless you're a file-hoarder, who hardly ever deletes anything, most people are bound to have several gigabytes free on a 50GB partition. You know, just in case they need somewhere to put something. You’ve hit the nail on the head, mate. Of course people are going to want to keep some free space on whatever player they’re using.

It's not like you are going to full it once and that's it. You need room to constantly add and change what you've got. Most of the large capacity models do so much more than play music nowadays. You will also need extra space for pictures and video. Video, in particular, is something that will constantly be swapped onto and off of people's mp3 players. They also tend to be much larger files. They may as well to a study of how full most people keep their computer hard drives. I'd be willing to bet that the percentage would be similar. I have over 120GB of mp3 files and I tend to keep my mp3 player filled to capacity. Sure I don't listed to every song with frequency, but I never know what i will be in the mood for and I'd just as soon have plenty of choice. You need a little extra space on your mp3 player.

The 512Mb cards are down to about $20. I can bring a couple extra cards if half a gig of tunes is not enough. No moving parts. 30 hour battery life from a USER REPLACEABLE AA battery (what a concept!). If I loose or smash the thing it cost me tens of dollars instead of hundreds. P.S. I will not under any circumstances download or play DRM infected music files on my computer or portable. Who in their right mind would KNOWINGLY put malicious software on their system?
