I did it. I actually went to Costco and bought one of the 256Meg Compact Flash Cards today. This is for my Lyra MP3 player. My sweetie got me this little device almost 4 years ago as a birthday present in days when we were more flush...sorta...Anyway, the most memory I've had is the original 48Meg card that came with it. When I originally received this present, I thought about expanding the memory, but, four years ago, flash memory cards were more than a little expensive. Upgrading to 128Meg would have cost more than the original price of the Lyra. So I put it off, and put it off, and put it off. Until now. $50 for 256Meg is my price point! I just put my current 39 favorite tracks on this little card...that's a little over 3 3/4 hours of my favorite music...and I still have 110Meg left over. I'm ecstatic!! I know--it isn't and IPOD with 20Gig of memory. And it's a flat file in that you have to scroll and scroll if you are looking for a particular song. Who cares?? I sure as hell don't! I can actually see me getting at least two more of these cards...maybe even three of 'em. Then I could have one classical, one ambient/new age/trance/electronic/etc., one rock and one a mixture of the genres. So, while an IPod would be nice, I am more than happy with my little Lyra and 256Meg of commercial free music. This little corner of my life is now pretty good. *happy sigh*
