Hey, I've been watching the MP3 player market for a while. I have seen multi gig hard drive players, 1 gig flash players, and some other stuff. What I haven't seen though is one that would take a compact flash card, or secure digital card. Why not?
I don't really want to wade through 20 or even 4 gigs of music while I'm listening. I want to load up 1gig or less and slip it in and go with it. Kind of like I do with my CD MP3 player, only smaller with better battery life.
Why can't somebody make a player that would read the music from a removable card? Compact flash cards are getting cheap. Why have a player that can only carry 512mb, when you can have cards?
It seem easy to me to just drop my music files on to a couple cards and be set for two days on the road, with a player like those ones that run on a single AA battery.
What am I missing here? Is there a reason why this isn't a good idea? Am I way off with this idea?
