Larger Flash or ne HD Walkman?

[Skypilot617]

I have an NWA3000 totally stuffed with my music - mainly classical and Jazz. If I want to add anything else I have to delete something first. I'm going to need a new player bigger than 20Gb soon but Sony don't appear to have one - not even a 16Gb Flash player.

Does anyone know when/if Sony are going to release something suitable or must I end up with an inferior ipod Classic like so many others?

Why not purchase another A3000/A1200 or an NW-A808 to put the remainder of your music on? Just a thought

Today??? Don't you mean April?

Very good - and superb timing, apart from having to wait until April.

Have Sony just given in on the HD player front one wonders. I can see the benefit of flash drives but the capacity is still a limiting factor - 16Gb versus 160Gb!!!!!!

Well I suppose that 16 Gb is Ok if you operate from home and can easily change your mobile library on a whim. I can be away from base for months at a time and value having almost all my music away with me. I could, of course, simply divide my music into two or take a DVD archive with me.

Not too happy with the idea of joining the iPod sheep so I'll probably get one of the A929s so long as the price is OK.

You can pick up a new nw-a3000 for under £100 on ebay these days.
