What portable music player do you use?

Flash Memory . Would you care to explain exactly what that is . The only Flash Memory I know is those Flash Memory Pens , what I call a memory stick . Thanks David :confused:

MP3 players have two different kind of memory: Hard Drive or Flash.

So MP3 players with hard drive have a miniature hard drive inside them; this is a mechanical mean and can more easily break due to it's fragile nature. It can also become fragmented like any other hard drive. But it have a great amount of memory, ranging up to 250 GB.

MP3 players with flash memory does not have any mechanical mean inside them, because flash memory is solid state. But it is a new technology compared to hard drives so it is more costly and currently, 64 GB memory MP3 players are only beginning to show their face. But this kind of memory is more reliable mainly because it is not mechanical and also because it consume less energy.

So I really prefer Flash memory and personally, I don't need that much space as 250 GB. 64 GB is enough, I can even put my entire cd collection in mp3 and still have some space left for later musical additions and even videos.

I just wait that more new 64 GB model appear to have a good choice. For now, I think only 64 GB Apple Ipod are available. But I know Sony are currently selling a 64 GB model in Japan, so I hope they will bring it here soon.
