Is there a single mp3 player that acts like a true external HDD?

Again, and I'm not sure if this is hard for you or what, but would you kindly keep a civil tongue? Beginning of the game when you blocked the stairs? yes beginning of the game when we were trying to knock out two of their teammates? even so, if you can knock out their team on round 1 you win, Grief is not Survival. And for someone who marked your account as Pro, you aren't really being professional at all

The flash players are recognized as removable drives with the UMS firmware, and YES, the Hard drive players are recognized as if they were mounted/local drives. I am talking about Iriver players.

Well even the non-native USB iPod does this. In fact people have of used them to boot OS X off of. I'm less experienced on the PC side, but I'd take a look.

I think the iRiver is as close as you're going to get.

My iRiver H140 player and MuVo N200 both appear as mass storage devices on my computer. I have yet to install any software for either of them and I can of course drag n' drop music files, homework, programs, and etc onto them.

the neuros does this. you have to use a specialised app to transfer the sound, as it uses an xml database and won't see the files unless the database is present, but you can certainly just plug it in and use it as a USB disk.

Philips HDD120 but to play file you have to transfer with DMM software Manager.

The poor mans Ipod does this... Music is databased on the device - no program needed to transfer music....
Also has USB on the go - connect to a camera or usb card reader...and SD/MMC card reader....
Drawbacks? thickish and crap battery life.

Check out Dapreview for more....

I think there are others.....read through dapreview.net....

Wow, since no one has mentioned it yet, the Rio Carbon (Pearl and CE2100 included) and Forge will all show up, in a non-neutered manner in windows explorer without the need to install additional softward. Further, the Carbon is unique in that it is also id3 tag driven meaning that it builds its database on the fly which very few if any other players can say they do atm without additional softward.

er.... yes. Cowon iAudio M3. 20GB (or 40), true external HDD for drag and drop of all files, including music files.

Downside (if you consider it to be one) is that you need to use folder/file structure for music files.

Do I win a prize??
