        Who amongst us could legally afford to own 500,000 GB's (isn't that 500 TB's?) of music?

                I absolutely agree! :laugh: But think about it if x = **"The most generous player today can only hold around 40,000 songs" **and **y = **"a nanotechnology breakthrough that could increase storage capacity by 150,000 times" result = x * y; result = way more than a butt load! Mike

                                    Was watching a Dean Martin infomercial earlier and had a lot of stuff from his old shows and of course that song was being played often! So its been in my head, or circling anyway, for a while now! Mike

                                          Wait, unless i made an error on calcy here, that would hold about 10240000 uncompressed 16-bit stereo, wave files. And of course if you use a better lossless format, like flac or something, that could potentially double. Hey, now those crazy 128kbps MP3 people won't have any excuse for their low quality audio. I know some people don't mind it, but i just can't enjoy music encoded at such bitrates.
