Are there any MP3 players with ~100GB HDDs yet?

I have a lot of music. I want to get an MP3 player but none seem to have enough space for me. Are there any MP3 players that have at least a 100GB HDD? The closest thing I have found is the new 80GB Ipod Video. If that is the best I can get I might get it.

The real question is why do you need to have all that music on there at once???

I am happy with my 1 gig flash player. Load 50 or so songs listen to them...change em up when you get bored

Because I am planning on keeping it in my car or taking it to friend's houses and hooking it up to their stereos. I would rather just keep all my music on it at one time so that I don't have to try to predict what I will want to listen to that day. Yes I am lazy :)

Somtimes I am away from the house for pretty long periods and I never know what musical mood I am going to be in.

Also when I was on vacation this summer I am quite sure I got through all 40+ GB on my player.

100GB may be excessive, but you never know...

Well it is currently 90GBs but I am in the process of re-organizing and probably can get down to about 80GBs but a 100GB one would be nice so that I have room to let my library expand.

I know that with the older Creative Zen Jukebox MP3 player (its the one that looked like a gray brick) that you could take out the harddrive that came with it and replace it with another harddrive, since it used a laptop harddrive. But you'd have to #1 buy a 100+ GB laptop HDD and #2 have the patience and skill to perform the "operation"

100gb players have been out for a while now. I have a 100gb Archos AV500. Does everything, can be used as a TIVO video recorder, records from multiple video sources, plays video to your TV or monitor, has a IR remote, displays pics, has an optional video camera, 4" widescreen display and, of course, it plays MP3s. Battery life is great too.

The only catch will be size. The largest 1.8" HD(used in the iPod & similar sized devices) is 80GB, so a 100GB+ MP3 player will be using 2.5" laptop drives.

True, its a bit bulky, but for all the stuff that it can do its a great device. Not really a catch as I can see video nice and clear and not have to squint while trying to watch video on an ipod.
