Woot! My 30gb RWA iMod is now 32gb flash based!
I've been aching for a high capacity flash based player. They are slowly making their way to the public but I decided to take things into my own hands. Since I have a 5.5gen 30gb iMod, getting the highest capacity Compact Flash card - 32gb - made sense. I bought an adapter and my CF came today. The whole process took me maybe 10 minutes. I restored the iMod through iTunes and am now loading it with 14gb of music. So, no, I actually haven't played music yet but everything tells me I will have no problems. Of course now I've gone and jinxed myself.
I am psyched!
Yes, I do know about the DIY iMod but I already have an RWA iMod so I have no need to try the DIY version. Of course that isn't to say that I won't be giving it a try but this way was quicker and easier.

I expect so. The guy who made the adapter did some extensive battery tests and saw about a 40% jump when just playing music. Not so much with video since the screen is on all the time but that doesn't concern me since I never watch videos on mine.
Especially if you use lossless, the jump in battery life should be pretty noticeable. Also, sound should possibly be even "blacker" without the hard drive noise.
Very nice, i personally prefer flash based players over hardrive based ones, because i don't have to worry about any problems if i use them while doing a physical activity. I don't mind sacrificing capacity at all, 32 gigs is satisfying for me.
