I do the same thing, with a much cheaper RCA Lyra. $50 including the
player got it done, and it plays about 2 1/2 hours of great audio. It
uses the format one size smaller than compact flash, though-the
security card format or whatever that cameras use.

I think we are trying to get away from mechanicals entirely. Dust
gets inside and jams up mechanisms, severe bumps make skips and head
crashes (fatal for any hard drive.)

My cd Player won't eject CD's since our last trail ride. I just want
a solid state solution with no moving parts beyond the control *****.
I don't care if it only holds as much as my CD's currently do.

this is what I did, it works great and simple to use while on trail. No
skips, un-interrupted music lasts longer than fuel.
