Has any player surpassed the 80 gig limit as of yet? I've completely given up waiting for a player that will hold my entire collection, but I want to be able to take as much with me as possible.

If this hasn't been passed yet, what 80 gig FLAC capable options do I have other than a rockboxxed iPod (has the 5.5 gen been supported yet)?

160GB ipod classic..but they havent been rockboxxed yet, but you can use alac.

Ok well I'm sure rockboxx will be available sometime in the future. I can just wait.

Is it too much of a problem to convert your FLACs to ALAC files? They're just as lossless.

x2

I just converted around 30 WMA Lossless files to Apple Lossless and it didn't take all that long.

Definitely faster than waiting for Rockbox.

10K songs is a lot to convert.

Do it overnight, or while you're out.

Or do it in stages over several nights. You won't need all 10K on your iPod at once.

Yeah I really don't understand some people's need to store all of their songs on their DAP at once. More than 2/3 of the albums on my 80GB iMod I don't listen to--I'd usually go back to my fav albums anyway.

The real reason I want to wait is because i absolutely despise itunes. I'm not going to be able to purchase the player until Christmas either so waiting for Rockbox isn't all that difficult to do.

My tastes differ depending on my mood. Having all my music enables me to pick and choose exactly what I want exactly when I want it.

unless im mistaken the encryption still hasnt been cracked on the 2g nano and the ipod classic uses the same encryption, and as long as its encrypted, its impossible to install rockbox. So waiting for rockbox could be in vain.

Ugh, how long has the 2g been out for?

I'm on 50/80GB....... The 160 was overkill for me.

I've got 140 gigs of music.....
