I have the 30GB HD5H, it's a great player. I'm not a big fan of sonicstage but once you've transfered your music you can forget about it. I use Atrac3plus or whatever the last incarnation of it was so I can get gapless playback. The battery life is excellent too. When the time comes to replace...

Well, once a 64GB CF card makes its way into a Karma... I might be interested

Is it April 1st already..?

Ah... that makes sense then. I thought I'd missed out on a new innovation

Even a 16GB Mini would have twice the capacity of the 8GB Nano. Also, those 32GB cards are pretty expensive... I think a 16GB Mini would be worth it.

I think I'll wait until after the goldrush... there should be 64GB flash cards that are cheap as chips (no pun intended) by then.

It seems that I've arrived slightly too late for this party. The price of an iPod mini on eBay (UK) seems way too high, even broken ones are fetching decent money.

Ah yes, I forgot about the Vibez. I'd be more interested in the flash version if and when it sees daylight. As for the Karma, I'm looking for new/nearly new purchases so the Karma doesn't really qualify.

After trawling through all the knowledge and opinions around here for the last couple of weeks, I’m now more confused than ever. I’m looking to purchase a new DAP and fortunately, as gapless is a prerequisite my choices are limited. I guess I’m limited (as far as new/nearly new purchases go) to...
