<MP3 players use flash memory:> Sam, if I decide to use one of these "music juke boxes", it would be on my computer and it would be using a hard drive. The software at the moment is free and so are many of the music files. The only barrier I can see is the time it takes to down load music and having better speakers for my laptop. One other thing I fear is whether I could get a virus from these files? In the future, I might want to have a portable MP3 player, but there is little barrier to stop me from getting good value out of it on my PC today. Stitch made a good case for this months ago, but I haven't been adventuresome enough to do it. Regards, Mark
