Most solid state memory devices are around 256 nowadays. 512 is a bit expensive, and 1 gig is crazy. They hold more than 20 songs as well.

I ran a little test in nero creating a data disk with mp3's to see about how many would fit into 256. I got 60 randomly selected songs in there. And most of them are rips i made of my cds which i do at 192. If you used songs at 128 which is supposedly CD quality you could get even more songs on it.

I wouldnt rip on solid state devices until a 10 gig Ipod weighed the same, and was the same size. Seeing how thats a few years off, solid states hold a very valid position in mp3 player choices. Besides when the fuck was the last time you needed 10 gigs of music on the go? Hell i have about 1000 songs that only occupy 5 gigs, why the fuck would you need to carry double that around on you? Especially when you go home every night and could easily swap out songs in a matter of minutes on a 256 device.
