I am hoping Apple soon to come out with a bigger ipod cause my 60gb is full.
I want to have all my music with me and don't want to switch between music.
I know, it is luxuryproblem but still. I have now 40 gigs more than fits my ipod and it disturbs me a little. My dad was so kind in giving me a lot of cd's to copy but they don't fit anymore except on my external harddrive.
So, does anyone if apple plans in making a reallll large ipod and what is the largest mp3-player of today??

didnt apply launch the 80gb ipod some time back?

I've seen a mod'ed Zen Xtra with a 80gb. I am pretty sure you can put a 120gb in it, or bigger.

The Archos 504 can be purchased in a 160Gb capacity!

The Archos 504 has a 160GB drive in it. It won't play any lossless format, but it will play WAV and the various lossy formats.

on cnet there was this huge chunky red player from china and it was around 200gigs but ithink the hd was 3.5''

Some people have modded their iriver H340's with 80GB hard drives. I think 100GB drives would also fit.

Largest Flash player:

Sansa e280 at 8gm....holy crap.

Largest HD player:

Xs Drive at 200gb...too bad the only format for playback is mp3.

Somebody is working on a 200gb Nano...it ran for 6 minutes, lol.

This looks promising, since it uses a 2.5inch HD:

But it's LIERALLY a brick.

justa thought, but do you connect to the computer to charge the ipod? if so, just get it to swap out files when you do. If you're using mp3, and probably alac too, you'll run out of battery power well before you run out of music.

Yep, but the step is too small. Then I still would have 20gb of music wich wouldn't fit in there.

I know, but the problem is I don't want to swap. Than you have to choose what you want to listen in advance, I hate doing that. I like to have all the music with me so I can choose on a time I want it. I know, a silly problem haha

 

[mrdeadfolx]

damn, thats a huge archos! Can you find it at Future Shop or Best Buy? Ive never seen one with that kind of capacity.

 

[craiglester]

doesn't i tunes have some kind of swap out routine? so the music is constantly rotated? hmm I don't use it myself, I just once a week do it manually. takes like 10 minutes when I 'm bored

I kind of wish someone would make a 200G++ "jukebox" type source. Something that accepts both compressed and lossless formats, AND has a digital output for use with an external DAC. I'm surprised more players don't have this, since a large percent of the home theater receivers have toslink inputs on the front face. Sound quality would be the primary goal, not portability. Although trans-portability would be nice.

That could be, not sure. Never checked it. I am not gonna swop though. Better just cross my fingers that Apple makes a way-bigger ipod like 200gb. That would be awesome.
