Having that much storage for your mp3s just to listen to them away from your computer is retarded. First off, you'd need thousands of mp3s to capacitate such a volume, and secondly, it'll take you a year to cycle through all those songs til you find the one you want. Personally, IPod is only "the best" for storage. As far as quality of player, there are others out there that get the job done for much much less. Anyone getting an mp3 player just to have a small collection of a few hundred songs are better off getting something more reasonable in price. I'd rather buy a new turbo for my car than spend it on an mp3 player that does the same thing as other players for hundreds less.
