Best high-capacity MP3 players

By Donald Bell on 08 February 2008

If you're a digital music hoarder, you'll want a player that can store a hefty number of songs. Here are four of our picks.

Does your digital music collection run into the hundreds of gigabytes? If you've amassed a king's share of music, or have a thing for ripping your CDs to large, lossless audio formats, then you need an MP3 player with some serious storage. These days, the cap on MP3 player capacity runs at around 160GB, with hard drive MP3 players such as the iPod Classic and Archos 605 WiFi leading the charge.

If you need a lot of space, but don't like the idea of carrying a bulky player, there are some slender, high-capacity Flash memory MP3 players coming out (such as the iPod Touch) that are finally tipping into the 30+GB territory formerly reserved for hard drive devices.

The name suggests more of the same but with more space and better value. Hard disk lag issues, video out controversy and just okay sound stop it from being a true classic though.
