Hard drive type or not? I'm thinking the hard drive type won't hold up to being dropped to well [BD] |

Obviously, the hard-drive models are much more sensitive to shocks, and WILL wear out and die eventually. The upside is that they have HUGE capacities, and can be used as a standard harddrive as well (good for transporting data from one PC to another). They are also much heavier, mostly due to the battery necessary to run the drive. The memory-card based players are much lighter and smaller, and are nearly shock-proof. They are better for sports-related activities and such. And, many models have removable media, which allows unlimited (but expensive) capacity. -Troy |

Troy, any hi capacity ones that run on AA batts? I am looking for one but all seem to have rechargable batts and I most likely may not be near a power source where I'm going. I'd like to find one I can put several hours of mp.3s on without tons of cards or extraneous parts. Thanks, Sherm |
