large-capacity music players
« on: November 16, 2012, 12:45:59 am »
heyo, everyone!
what options are there, if any, for a portable music player that has space for 100+ GB of data and can scrobble? my old 8GB fuze + 32GB SD card combo has finally died, and i want something that can actually hold my entire library, but the options seem rather slim.

I think you'd have to find either a very expensive player or a very old player. Many older players used laptop form-factor 3.5 inch hard drives, but often the firmware was only coded to understand a limited range of drives. The SD card standard is pretty limited in available sizes compared to CF cards, which use the same electrical signaling and protocol as EIDE hard drives, and so in principle can go up 2 TB.

I guess you can go for Android tablets, some have USB ports to plug external storage space in I think.

I think you can get the iPod classic with 180 GB of storage.

i checked, and it's 160. there's no way i could use an ipod, though, because i can't use itunes (not that i would if it was possible) and they've taken even further steps in their recent OSs to make things like gtk-pod not work. the only other option i've seen so far is the Cowon X7, which also has 160 gigs of storage, and, supposedly, has amazing sound. it uses a resistive touchscreen, though, and only has two buttons, so pausing isn't possible without taking it out of your pocket and looking at it. do you think those two things would be annoying enough to make it not worth getting?
