What is the MSRP?

Honestly, I'd rather have an MP3 player since you can store all the songs on your HD and don't ever have to buy/burn discs. My Nomad II is 32 onboard + 128 = 160mb and better battery life to boot since there are no moving parts. Just my 0.02....otherwise looks like a nice unit if that's what you want.

I would go with either a full-size player so you can play "normal" audio CDs and 700 MB MP3-CDs, or a flash memory player for the tiny size and no moving parts. If I planned to burn a bunch of MP3 CDs I'd want the greater capacity of full-size discs.

Actually what will be really cool is if they come out with a DVD-R based player before the RIAA bribes congress into taking away the rest of our fair-use rights, then you could have 40+ high-bitrate CDs worth of music on a single disc. For now, I have a flash player to pull songs from my MP3 jukebox, plus a regular portable CD player to play CDs I haven't ripped yet.
