Hello everyone!! Just to introduce myself, I'm from colorado, and I'm looking for the right MD solution, Basically, I'm not really an audio-phile, but I do enjoy great sound. I'm looking for a hi-md unit, it doesnt need to record. I'm not much of a fan for plastic, I like the feeling of weight, It makes the unit feel much more sturdy. Basically, my ipod was stolen from my car about a month ago, and I'm dying without my music on the go.. I Really love the look of the Sharp DS8, but 80 minutes just isn't enough, as I usually listen to music while im at school, in my car, and at home. As far as price range goes, I'm probably going to be looking in the $200ish range. Thanks so much for all your help!! Alex
