Screw that dinky thing, indeed.
My Creative Zen Touch has (I just checked) 7,349 tracks on it so far, and I'm still loading more of my CD collection. Hi-quality WMA format, too.
My MP3 player has 6 Terabytes, and holds approximately 2 million songs, give or take a few. I now need to find a battery that can last long enough to hear all of them before I die.
