Looking for a mp3 type player for my home audio system

[dudeman007]

So I'm looking for a device that can hold lots of files. Probably something with around 100 gb of space or more. However if you know of anything less, I'd love to take a look at it. I'm not looking for a brand new reciever...I have all of that. Just simply an add on that can store lots of music files for my home audio system. Also I'm not looking for an iPod type setup. Thanks

Try this: http://www.tvixbox.com/product_details.php?product_id=9#

You can order it with a harddrive or use one of your own. You can also connect a USB drive to it. You can also connect it to a wifi bridge and just navigate the files from the PC. Lots of options - and a very cool device.

What would be wrong with getting an ipod and plugging it in to your receiver?

This looks like the type of thing I'd be looking for. It's the same company of that model jleves showed me but a lot cheaper. So would a hard drive go inside the box? And would the hard drive be a standard desktop hard drive?...or a notebook hard drive?

I also am not looking for an iPod because the size of space is not worth the price for what I'm looking for.

Doesn't tell you how much space it has though

That's because it doesn't come with a hard drive to begin with unless you get the upgrade. This works fine for me as I already have one around.

You should check out www.avsforum.com for an extensive discussion of MP3 players like this. Someone has a cool spreadsheet with a bunch of different ones listed and what they do.
