Just for the record, this is why i'm interested in the thumb drive for use with the NLS player. If it is practical and works well for you all, then i want to be selling these at Speak To Me Catalog for you. What capacity do you think is the best to buy? What is the price that would make it a no brainer to buy a thumb rather than a cartridge?
