I think the best list of devices that support flac can probably be found at http://flac.sourceforge.net/. Not sure if any of them support external hard drives, though. I'd look into a cheap or used laptop for this purpose. If audio quality is a concern add an external USB DAC. Any "device" that can play audio... even a tiny flash-based pen drive is really a "computer", so it's just a matter of drawing the line either at size, features, or cost. If such a portable player is going to cost $700 then why not just buy an inexpensive laptop with 12" screen at the nearest big box store for about the same price? -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28552 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
