Your Entire CD Collection In Your Pants Pocket
 

Removing the top cover of the case reveals Hitachi's tried-and-true technology, in the shape of a 4 GB Microdrive. In Archos' case, the HMS360404D5CF00 model is used. It has a 1" platter spinning at 3600 RPM. The Hitachi drives' temporary memory storage, at 128 kB, is a far cry away from current 2.5" notebook hard drives, which sport caches of up to 16 MB.

my entire CD collection does not fit on 4gb
to give you an idea, I have ~80 CD's in my car for starters:)

Love mobile or long commute ;)

I'm 7min from my current workplace now :) so those CD are less frequently used, in new car I'll have MP3 player, so that'll cut down on quantity of media also:)

how much cds would you get on 1 gb? in very good quality mp3

Good MP3 quality is 160-192kbps, which means 4min is ~8mb filesize.

~7 CD's

In my case, about 5 megs to a song = ~200 for 1GB

how am I gonna fit my 4000+ cds, 500 lps and all the rest on that crap?! :)

I'm currently making a selection of best tracks off every cd, should take me 6 years :D

just pray to god noones brakes into your car . Ive had my best 10 CD's stolen few years back . I cant imagine the horror of losing 80 :s

I keep my originals at home, my CD changer has a tendancy to scratch disks, not a pleasant experience :(
