Hi,
So as I plan out my Avic-d1 install, I need somethign to play the 3 billion music files i have. Ipods are a great product, but storage, $, and feature limits kept me looking. I'm an old school ARCHOS guy, and still use this device today.

So....in my never ending quest for geek toys. What do you folks think of this for a mobile & even home media device.

Vantec AVOX Jukebox AVX-100TX

$95 without HD, so buy a 100GB laptop drive for 100$ =$195 total
