<P>Found an article about this in my Popelectronics mag. <A href="gforum.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.pjrc.com" target=_blank>High Tech MP3
player</A> that you can either buy parts for and assemble yourself or buy a
tested set and the code to compile everything like Eprom is open source. This is
in my opinion one of the coolest MP3 players anyone could ever get. I mean, it's
not pretty but you use your own hard drive and in the article it says if you use
the maximum capacity drive of 137 GB, that's 91 days of music. There's no
special compression or anything. You take the drive out and hook it up to the
comp with the music transfer the music to the drive with windows explorer or any
other tool like such and then take the drive out and hook it back up to the
circuit board and the thing will scan the drive, including directories, and then
play the songs. It's completely customizable since it is open source, although
the kit isn't free. I just wanted to know/see what you guys think and if anyone
has heard of this project before. <BR></P>
<P>BTW... It also uses a 72 pin simm memory stick. Has the 40 pin
connector slot for the drive or a smaller one for a laptop drive. So
cool!</P></BODY></HTML>
