What about a REALLY small laptop like the Sony VAIO UX Series. I know it
does not eliminate the PC part of your requirement, but man it is tiny
and has everything you need including touch screen. The SS Touch
interface would go well with it.

I don't think i understand the problem here. We have an iAudio X5L; it

I've got a Sony Clie TH-55 with Pocket Tunes, which makes a nice
interface, but I don't think there's any way to read directly from a
hard drive. It takes Memory Sticks, so I could go up to 4 gb and rip
FLACs to mp3 or ogg. Not exactly what I'm looking for, but all I'd
have to buy is the memory.

FWIW, the iAudio (Cowon) X5 seems to be a favorite of some of the
Rockbox developers, so it's very likely to be a well-maintained port.
It's also got a very

Most don't have USB ports to access an external hard drive, so you're
limited to the space on the internal drive.

It also is wireless, which I don't want to pay for because I don't need

No, I guess what I'm getting at is that these mp3 players are just
external hard drives themselves.

Andy, do you know if a rockbox-enabled player could be hooked directly
to my USB hard drive and allow me to browse and play FLAC files without

Do you have an example? It would have to have a USB port.
