Thanks for you advice Brett, but I don't have any plan (in the short o
medium time in the future) to use a dedicated MP3 player, actually my 2210
is just fine for my needs.

I used to use a 256Mb card for some time but I have to say I did fed up of
having to transfer music every week. Having 15Gb and a 1000 songs with
plenty of space for more is a delight.

I made wine out of raisins so I wouldn't have to wait for it to age.

I would have to say my son seems very happy with 10 songs he has on his cf
now. I have a card reader and it is very simple to move the files on and
off. It doesn't bother me.

10 songs! I have 92 songs and even 85 MB free in my 256 MB SD card. But,
remember, I use wma at 64 Mhz, it's 2 MB per song, aprox
