What's your definition of the difference between a USB mp3 player and a hard-drive mp3 player? I think that the Archos Jukebox is one that fits that. It's ugly, and hideously bulky, and heavy (and by default has one of the worst user-interfaces i've seen, although i found someplace where you can replace it with an OSS alternative), but it does show up as a mountable drive when you plug it into the computer, and you add music by copying it on... It's also 20G... I might be persuaded to trade mine for a black nano if people really dislike the nano so much....... :) ~Erin /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
