I noticed it has a USB connector. I don't know to what extent it is used, maybe it is used as a simple file transfer port. If it does not require a specific o/s or program to copy over the USB port, there are keychain sized USB hard drives out there now which are o/s independent as well...it'd be interesting to know if one of these keychain devices could be used to extend or download directly to the mp3 device. And if not, certainly a small embedded linux controller could be created as nothing more than a USB mp3 storage area network device. (not that I can afford one, but hey, it's interesting) D.
