Thanks, I never even thought about display. One more thing to worry about. You mentioned the advantage of a flash memory over a hard drive, is there any advantage of a hard drive over a flash memory?

Yes - with a hard drive you get more memory at a cheaper price.

Also, regarding your question about buying connectors...if you get one with a USB 2.0 port (most come standard) a USB cable is readily available in any store that sells PC devices. It may very well come with the MP3.
